mont couty until the judgment was
fully satisfied. not to exceed. however
a term of Imprisonment Of more than
one year. The arrest of the defend
ant on Tuesday was under the pro
visions OF that order.
Judgment was secured against the
defendants, Smith and Davis, after a
long trial in connection with a COM
mercial transaction in which they
transferred certain interests and
blocks OF stock in the Larimore Coal
& Construction company and the Com
mercial Coal & Coke company. both
Huerfano county corporations. to the
plaintim Weston for bonds of the
Julesburg Irrigation District in the
sum of $4,000. After the transfer had
been made Weston alleges that he dis
covered that the stock and other col
lateral he had taken in exchange for
the bonds were practically worthless
as a financial asset. and he institut-
ed suit to recover possession OF the
bonds on the grounds that fraud and
deceit had been practiced by the de-
PENDANTS.
The court held at the time judg-
ment was awarded Weston that the
action was founded on tort and a
body execution was ordered to be is
sued against the. defendants unless the
judgment. with costs OF suit and in
terest was satisfied. a settlement

ter was allowed to go by default
Following the trial OF the cause in
the District Court here. the attorneys
for the defendants perfected an ap-
peal to the Supreme Court. where
the matter is now pending. The Su-

precedent to issuing the supersedeas.
This bond. the defendants. Smith
and Davis. were unable to give and
so the supersedeas writ was not Is
sued and execution was taken out
against the body of Mr.. Smith. The
case. however. is pending in the Su-
preme Court. and will be heard by
that court and determined in short

JACK BROWN WRITES
SOME HOT STUFF
FROM CALIFORNIA

Grant Dickinson is in receipt of a
letter from Jack Brown who is at
III Centre, Imperial Valley, California,
introducing Joe Heavenridge's Hog
Cholera Cure in that section.
He says some interesting things
about California. Incidentally he says
that Joe Heavenridge's Hog Cholera
cure is making good wherever intro
duced and that he is having very good
success in introducing it,
Regarding California he says: Il
find the state very much oyerdone,
not only in building, but in other
branches. Ten men for every job in
sight and but little money in circu-
lation. Everybody seems to be broke.
Money matters are the same in this
valley. The banks are putting up
the money 10 pick the cotton and
with all of the conditions that l have
spoken OF. they are hard up for ready
cash. Jap buyers are in the valley
and it is hoped that they will take the
cotton crop.
The auto stage running between
San Diego and the Imperial valley is
crowded every day. They run big
Stanley Steamers and carry fourteen
people beside the driver The fare is
$3.50 round trip for the distance of
l27 miles. They make the run in sew
en- hours.
San Diego is picking up they tell
me. but am afraid that like Chicago
ST. Louis and other cities holding big
fairs it will take at least four or fve
years to overcome the effect of the
fair.

Patterson through his long speech
here Wednesday night. Mr.. Belts
says that Mr.. Patterson said a whole
, lot but didn't say much on the vital
questions at issue.
Mr.. Bettis says:

speech in Canon City, Colorado. on
oct. the lith, 1914, that the Colora-
do Fuel & Iron Company was the
direct cause of foreign labor being
employed in the coal mines OF Colora.

with a purpose in view. hired men of
different nationalities. to prevent an
intermingling and association with
each other as a means OF avoiding

OF the c. F. & l. Co.
Il am not disputing or confirming
this. but why did he not go further
and explain that fully % percent of

the limbs and lingering and
wretched death if the dropsy is not
