Slugs on Cherries

Considerable complaint is heard To-
cally of he appearance of slugs on
cherry trees in this part of the valley.
Reports from other sections indicate
that local growers are not alone in
their troubles. 1t seems that those
trees attacked are of the younger vari-
ETY. and prompt measures are being
taken to eliminate the pest. One pc
culiatity of the slug is that it does its
work from the top, rather than the
under, side of the leaves, and is easily
reached by spraying or sprinkling. We
are not familiar with remedy for
the pest, but some of those who are
troubled with them are using solu-
tion of paris green anl water, and
applying it from small sprinkler on
the small trees.

Opening of Old Case

Indications point to an early reopen.
ing of the case of T. NJ. Gerbick, the
man who is now serving penitentiary
tenn for wrecking the Chicag Denver
limited at Fowler some years ago.
According to Gerbick's own story
after he was captured, this train was
deliberately wrecked by him at the
Apishapa bridge east of Fowler on the
night of October 80, 1908. The
arrest was made at Portland, Ore.
When he was brought back to Fowler
he is said to have told, in the presence
of officers and others, how he made
preparations for the contemplated rob-
berry, and how the wreckipg was.done.
He said he stood at a nearby point and
watched the train dash to the bed Of
the river. At his trial he said be
only made the confession to gain no.
toriety, but was given a penitentiary
sentence by the court.
The appeal for pardon was up before
Governor Shat1roth's administration,
and Gerbing then asserted and asserts
now, that an alibi can be proven. 1t
seems that witnesses have been heard
from in the east that make the prison
er's case stronger, witnesses who are
willing to swear to Gerbing's state
ment that he was in Michigan the
night the train was wrecked, and it is
probable that the state pardon board
will give the case full Investigation.
1t is said that there is NO question
now about Gerbing's innocence, and
that there is only formal action by
the board between him and liberty.
just prior to the wreck Gerbing
worked near Fowler under the name of
Tom Cleo, and was q man of unusual
strength. His petition for pardon
will he watched with interest, as the
case at one time attracted consider
able attention.

Bound Over for Forgery

Gay Eaton and Vim. Sharp, two
young men formerly employed on the
ranch of Mr.. Stnbbs in the north
Fowler country, were arrested the fore
part of the week for forgery and given
a preliminary hearing before Justice
Conard at OIney Springs Monday
morning. One of the men waived
preliminary hearing and the other
stood trial with the result that both
were bound over to the action of the
fall term of the circuit ccutt under a
bond of 81 900 each. Both men were
taken to Pueblo Monday evening by
Sheriff Humi.ton of Crowley county,
who made the arrests.
1t is understood that several checks
were forged on Mt. Stubbs and his
partner, presumably by the two young
men arrested, but they were only tried
on one count, the forgery of check
for little over $l5.'

Old Gang at Work

The recent series of buIglaries tax
ing place on the north side of the river
extending from Sugar City to Olney
are decidedly unusual and hard to ac-
count for. Sheriff Humiston attr'-
buted them to the fact that there
have been, self imported, lot of
strangers to the country this summer,
who either could not secure work OF
we're not looking for it. Some of the
work is attributed to Mexicans, but in
the majority Of cases white people
have been the ones arrested and jailed.
The office and field force of the sheriff
have been kept pretty busy for two
weeks or more, and this com mepdahIe
activity has resulted 10 the appfehen-
sion of majority OF the criminals
whom they we're after.

Store Again Robbed

The store of J. L. Strickler, located
about six miles west of Ordway, was
again the scene of burglary on Thurs
day night of last week. This time
the robbers secured something like
$40 worth OF wearing apparel, tobac-
cos and cigars. Presumably the bur
glary was the work of Mexicaus desir-
ing to stock up on clothing and luz
uries without paying for them. 1t is
thought that the stuff was carried from
the store aud loaded in wagon that
was stationed in the road nearby. En-
trance to the store was gained through
q window, and no foot prints were
discernable on the outside. 1t is
thought from this that the robbers
either used sacks to walk on or had
their feet bound up in them.
This store has been the easy victim
for burglars in recent months. Stu
ated at shiloh, or Crowley, station on
the Missouri Pacific, the store build
inx is at least a quarter of mile away
from the nearest house, and this
affords an easy opportunity for the OPP
erations of the light fingered and
footed gentry.
The articles stolen last week includ-
ed clothing, hats, shoes, sweaters and
cigars and tobaccos.
No trace of the robbers has yet been
discovered, but the Sheriff'H Office is
in possession of facts from which it is
believed that they can work up case,
OF course the theory is not being made
public property. .'.

Ordway's new school building is to

structiou and the last word in con-
venience in buildings of that charac-
ter. Work, on the new building is
progressing very satisfactorily, ac-
cording to Frank Taylor, the contract

roomy. On the second floor there are
three class rooms, each having q coat
room, and a commercial room, laboIa-
tory, recitation rooms, and office IL
brary. On this floor there is also a
large assembly room extending the
entire length Of the building. Ample
provision is made on both floors for
light and ventilation. aud for easy
egress in case of necessity.
The new building will be much
larger than the old one dismantled
and will be model of its kind.
Ordway citizens will have every reason
to be proud of their public school ia.
cilities when the work is done and the
building accepted.
The contract for the heating plant
has not been let yet, but provision is
being made for its installation as soon
as the work on the building progress

Arrested on Suspicion

Two young men named Hickey and
Clark, who were arrested last Friday
or Saturday in connection with the
robber, of the postoffice in Ordway ON
Thursday night, were given a prelim-
mary hearing before Justice Aldrich At
Sugar City last Saturday morning aud
hound over to the fall term Of the cir.
cult court.
The warrant for the arrest of one Of
the young men MAS sworn out in Sugar
City and he was arrested there, and the
other was arrested in Olney Springs.
At their preliminary hearing both
men admitted having been in Ordway
on the night of the postoffice robbery,
but contended that they did not leave
here until about six O'Clock Friday
morning. They testified that they saw
some suspicious characters board q
train sometime about midnight Thurs
rsday night, and gave it as their opin-
ion that these we're the men who did
the work. Questioned about their
actions subsequent to and after the
night OF the robbery, they were not
able to give an account of themselves
satisfactory to Justice Aldrich, and
this fact, coupled with testimony of
several men that the suspects had been
seen in rather compromising circum-
stances, led the court to place them
under heavy bond and bind them over
to the consideration of the circuit
court. Both were taken to Pueblo Sat-
urday by Sheriff Humiston and lodged
in Jail there for safe keeping.
