ber orchard near this city. came in
from a business trip to Palisade the
other day and when asked by an lnde-
pendent reporter as to crops on the
Stoiber place stated that there would
not be more than box of peaches on
the entire ranch. and this is consider
ed short as nearly all the peach trees
have been pulled out. at least the
greater portion of them and other
crops grown.
An inquiry was made about the ap-
f,les on this farm and was told that
there would be at least 2000 boxes.
Mr. Cariker went over to Palisade
with the understanding that the fruit
growers In that section would have n
reasonable crop OF peaches this year
and II so he had something like l5,ooo
peach boxes which he could dispose

Desantis was riding one of the

proven himself complete master of the
situation. when the horse accidentally
stumbled and fell with great force.
The rider struck the ground in such
manner as to cause the breaking of
his collar bone in two places and he
was hurried to the office of local

About the Crops.

The first cutting of alfalfa is well
along now and the harvest has so far
met but little rain, hence most of the
hay will be perfect both in quality and
coloring.
Potatoes are coming along nicely
and carload shipments will begin to
go out about July 18th to Goth. The
stand is rather below the average,
some fields having good stand.
while many others are not so good.
but the quality will be up to the usual
splendid standard of this great potato
belt.
Grains are looking fine, even better
than usual. it is thought. and a good
crop is expected OF both oats and
wheat
Sugar beets are hardly an average
stand, but fair crop is expected.
with a high percentage of sugar.
All garden crops are good. Straw
berries have been fine and plentiful.
Currants are In the market and rasp-
berries will follow at once.

FRED KING ONLY ONE POINT
BEHIND PROFESSIONAL

Fred King of this city, kept the
professional trap fhooters guessing
in every contest at the three days
session of the State Association in
Pueblo last week, and returns home
with enough glory and medals to sat
isfy any sort of ambition. A review
of the entire meet is here given:
With the closest finishes in the
history of a trap shooting tournament
in Colorado, the Rocky Mountain In
terstate Sportsmen's association clos
ed its three day shoot in Pueblo last
Wednesday afternoon, with Fred King
of Delta, high amateur man. During
the tourney King broke Gil birds out
of $50, and was beaten by one target
by a professional, John w. Garrett of
Colorado Springs. In addition to the
trophy for high amateur average, King
won the Spalding medal for the high
run, when he broke 12S blue rocks
without a miss on Monday. Joe
Rohrer of Colorado Springs, was sec
ond high amateur. with go. one point
behind King. while A w Huff of
Victor had SOC.
Shooting with Walter w Shamwell
of Colorado Springs, Rohrer won the
two-men team match. The handicap,
the Wednesday afternoon closing
event. went to Harry Keefe. Shooting
at % yards. Keefe broke SO out of loo.
tying c. A. Cunning at q yards. Keefe
defeated his rival in the shootoff,
breaking l9 to 10 for Cunning.
The veteran trapman Garrett, was
high over all in the tournament, with
6l2 out of $50. Burt Morris of Denver,
was one of those who figured in the
brilliant work of the tournament,
breaking 9S straight. Garrett took
the professional honors by fine
squirt. while George Burt of Pueblo,
was having a slump. Garrett finished
by breaking 80 targets straight.
The Garden City. Kansas, team
carried away the Arkansas valley tro-
ply. having defeated four other five
men teams in lively competition.
The event was shot off late in the
evening when it was getting dark and
it is peculiar fact that the teams
finished in the order in which they
faced the traps.
At the annual meeting of the asso-
citation, Nelson Franklin, the we'll
known Victor trap shooter. was again
elected president. He had no rival
for the honor and his election was
unanimous. John Garrett of Colorado
Springs, was made vice-president. The
1914 tournament will be held in Col
orado Springs.

Robert Porter Had No Quarrel.

Mr. Robert Porter came in from
Cedaredge Wednesday and expressed a
wish to be set right before the public
in the matter of independents state
ment last week that the cutting affray
on his ranch was the result of a quar-
rel
q never quarrel" said Mr.. Porter,
and there was no quarrel in this in
stance. i merely gave my man orders
to change teams. The stabbing was
doubtless the result of temporary in
sanity. as admitted" Those who
know Mr.. Porter had spoken to indie
pendent editor along the same lines
before his visit to the office Wednes-
day, remarking that he was splen-
did citizen and the last to give offense
when it could be helped, and his ap-
pearance and manners bear out their
statement.
Independents reporter obtained the
story as printed over the phone and
regrets that any erroneous statement
should have been made. We are al
so pleased to know that Mr.. Porter is
rapidly recovering from his wound.
