Big REAL
ESTATE DEAL
IN FLORENCE
Gumaer Tract Has Passed
Into Hands of M. r.
H. Garrett.

xxe odlkCtts
According to papers filed in the Of
fee of the county clerk and record
er here late Wednesday night one OF
the most important real estate deals
ever made in Fremont county was
consummated, which consisted of the
sale of six or seven hundred acres Of
irrigated land adjoining, and part-If
it in the city of Florence, and what is
known as the Gumaer land. Accord
ing to the instrument filed the land is
purchased from the Florence Oil and
Refining Company and The Boston
Land and Cattle Company, the pur-
chaser being NJ. R. H. Barratt OF
Joplin, Mo. Mr.. Barratt is a friend OF
JP Newell of Florence, who con-
summated the deal, and who is TO
have charge of the subdivision and
colonization of the land. TWO corps
of surveyors are already at work on
the land. dividing and stalking it into
tracts of from one to five acres, and
as soon as the work is completed Mr..
Newell expects to inaugurate an ex-
tensive advertising campaign in ten
or twelve of the cities within a huI-
dfed miles of Florence, with view
of disposing of the entire tract with
in the next sixty days.
Watered by Union Ditch.
During the past week. while the
deal with Mr.. Barratt was pending,
and after news of it had leaked out
locally, a large number of tracts
have been selected, and Mr.. NewelI's
office, even before the deal for the
purchase was closed, was busy
place, by reason of the number of
land seekers, who were eager to
make a selection This tract of land
Is watered by the Union ditch, which
has decree from the Arkansas river
bearing date of 1861. 1t is the second
Oldest water right on the Arkansas
river proper. 1t is, in fact, one of the
Oldest water rights in the Canon City
or Florence district. The fact that a
largo tract of such fine land adjacent
I othe town of Florence, and with un-
questioned water right, is to be
thrown on the market in small tracts,
has caused considerable excitement,
not only in the town of Florence, but
in Fremont county as we'll For mary
years the residents of Florence have
realized that the settlement of this
large tract of land by fruit and gard
en- produce raisers would mean a
great future for their community.
Scores of people have made efforts
in the past to procure a small tract
of this land from the owners. and re-
peated efforts have been made by
capitalists to procure the land and
sub-divide it. but until Mr.. Newell
procured the land on an option from
Mr. Gumaer about thirty days ago. all
efforts had been unsuccessful, the
owners having persistenly refused to
consider sale of it, either in whole
or in part.

EXT0RTl0N CASE UP
BEFORE C. J. SMITH

The cases against Attorney w. J.
McEniry and Morris Brien, his client,
in which Walter Richtmann charges
the defendants with extortion, were
taken up in police court this morn
ing before Magistrate c. j. Smith.
At noon adjournment was taken till
, o'clock this afternoon.
The defense seeks to prove that
S25 was received from Richtmann as
settlement for the alleged false i'm
prisOnment of Brien and that no of
Tense was committed by accepting the
money and dropping the prosecution
of Richtmann and Mime on charges
of false imprisonment. The prosecu-
ton holds that such cases cannot be
settled in this way, and further, al
leges that the money was extorted
with threat of prosecution.

The action of the board of local i'm
provements for the paving of Tenth
avenue from Nineteenth to Twenty
first streets, has meet with some OBJ
lection, not because the improvement
is undesirable, but because it is not
extensive enough. Certain property
owners have called upon members of
the board to have them change their
plans to include Tenth avenue from
Twenty-third to Twelfth street and in
addition to the paving, map out plans
for a storm drain which shall care for
the vicinity. 1t is probable that the
past action of the board will be set
aside and the new project taken into
consideration.
