Bicycle Thief Captured

In Judge Chritton's court yesterday
a nineteen-year-old youth named Book
out, who has for the past few months
made his home in this city, was given
start upon the journey that may end
in the state penitentiary.
At the hearing evidence was adduced
that on Sunday night a bicycle belong
ing to Clarence Govreau's young son
had disappeared from his home and its
next appearance was ON Wednesday
afternoon. at st. Johns bicycle hospital
where it had been sold for So. In look
ing over the newly-acquired wheel Mr.,
st. John found that its number cores
ponded with that of the Govreau wheel,
and upon notifying C. Pickett Govreau
the wheel was positively identified as
his. Young Bookout was Immediately
arrested and given hearing by Judge
Chritton, who held him to the district
court under bonds of $500. As the
youth was unable to furnish bond he
will rest in the county Jail until the
June term of court.

MIDWEEK BALL GAME
Brings Out Record BreaIeing Crowd
Yesterday Afternoon

Had any evidence been required that
ball game in the middle of the week
would meet with popular favor in this
city it was certainly demonstrated yes
terday afternoon when the town was
practically deserted and everybody was
down at the fair grounds to see the
Rocky Ford Cubs trounce the Fort Lyon
Sailors, the only down-valley team that
has won honors from our boys this sea-
son.
At the game were many enthusiastic
rooters who for oyer year had been
debarred from seeing their favored
sport as they would not countenance
Sunday baseball, and the exuberant
fashion in which they famed" surely
convinced everyone that they were true
lovers of the great American game
when cleanly and in season played.
AS result of yesterdays demonstra-
ton Manager Knause will endeavor to
provide several midweek games during
the season. And this season, The Enter
prise hopes and believes, will be the last
of Sunday baseball in Rocky Ford.
1t was good snappy game all the
way through and was won by the Cubs
with score of 3 to q

1t was thu habit of Richard Henry
stoddard, the poet. always to speak
well of every one. No matter how bad

New York some friend entered and
asked him whether he knew So-and-so
and. If so, what was the mans reputa-
ton. 1t happened that the man had a
shady reputation and was well known
as gold brick" operator. The aged
poet lighted his pipe. aud answered:
"Yes. | know him. He is the most
energetic. progressive. irrepressible.

and the schedule makers have come

yesterday if dampness had not caus-
ed a postponement of the Tiger-Sox

day gives the South Siders rest and
tomorrow Weaver will be well enough
to get back into the game against the
St. Louis Browns on the home lot.
Three games will be played with
the Browns, including double-head-
er Saturday. Then Cleveland drops in
for single combat and the Sox go
east to meet the seaboard teams.
Claude Hendrix got another day of
rest before going against the Indian

game. Manager Tinker likes his ath-

When the jury filed in last night at
$50 o'clock to give their verdict in
the case of Edward and Charles Bar
rett and Arthur Friedman, charged
with the murder of Conductor Frank
Witt, it was exactly one year and ten
months after the shooting of Witt.
The verdict was mot guilty for each
of the three defendants. Immediate
acquittal was voted in the jury room
for Charles Barrett and Arthur Fried

on the second.
Three eyewitnesses. who testified at

of Witt, were not called during the
trial. One of them, Edward Thiel-
