RIVERSIDE MEN
WIN ON APPEAL

Word was received in Grand
Junction today that the United
States court of appeals had reversed
the federal district court in the mail
fraud cases against l.. Albert Wright,
Frank White and DR.. John Gould,
promoters of the famous Riverside
irrigation concern of Grand Junction
and Delta.
This case. which has been hang
ing in the courts for several years,
is one of the most noted in the an
nails of irrigation frauds in the west.
After the Indictment of the three
defendants. the case was tried at
Montrose, and R. H. Sawyer of this
city, formerly connected with the
enterprise, was the chief witness
against them. The district court
brought conviction and an appeal
was taken to the court of appeals.
DR.. John Gould, one of the defend
ants, and former resident of this
city, died in Denver a few days ago
before the decision of the higher
court was rendered.

STATE LABOR LAWS
VIOLATED, IS CHARGE

Sentinel Special Service.
Denver, Dec. S.=There were filed
with the state labor commissioner
five complaints alleging that state
labor laws have been violated by GER
tain parties who have sent miners
into the Oak Creek district from the
city of Denver. without first advis-
ing the men there was a strike on.
The labor commissioner claims this
act is not in compliance with the
statutes. The charge is made to the
labor commissioner by the men that
they were employed for section work
on the Moffat road, but when they
arrived in the Routt county coal
fields they were put to work in the
Juniper mine.
Deputy Labor Commissioner Brake
asserts he will prosecute the case II
on investigation he finds that the
labor laws have been violated.
The going to the Southern Colora-
do coal fields to pay the state mill
tia for their first months service
ends the muddle between State Au-
ditor Kenehan and the governor. The
auditor went prepared to pay the
men certificates of Indebtedness
which are to Immediately be cashed
by Paymaster General Carlisle who
took with him sufficient money to
redeem all certificates. On the au-
ditor's return to Denver the certifi-
Gates will be turned over in bulk to
the Denver Clearing House associa-
tion bankers who are advancing the
money to the state to care for in
debtedness oceasioned by state troops
in the strike zone to a total of $780,
900.
! The governor does not now know
/ just how long it will be necessary
to keep the militia in the field, but
It is almost certain they will be on
duty for another month at least.

Miss Perkins Will
Sue Mesa County

That Miss Evelyn Perkins will sue
the county for the recovery of her
bill for Si4S was learned on good
authority today. Miss Perkins is in
the hospital now. but it is understood
that District Attorney Weiser has
been asked to take the necessary le-
gal steps to collect the money.
The county commissioners have
sought legal advice outside the reg
uiar attorneys and these lawyers have
agreed that Miss Perkins should be
paid by Auditor Kenehan, and not
by the county. since she was en-
gagged by the auditor and not by au-
thority of the county nor in pursuit
of county business.

THE CITY HORSE

By WILLIAM f. KIRK IN n. Y. JOURNAL.)
Patient, plodding, bravely toiling,
Slipping on the icy grade
Where the devils pot is boiling
In the city that he made;
Strainng at the thoughtless urging
OF grim men as dumb as they,
Where the traffic's tide is surging,
See them on their weary way.
Sick and sore, but uncomplaining
At their humble, dreary lot,
Wet and cold when it is raining,
Dizzy when the sun is hot;
Over pavements hard and endless,
See the city horses go,
Till removed, all still and friendless,
To the graves they welcome SO.
