Stone Brothers Acquitted Of
Sheep Stealing Charge.
Co|ored Soldier Guilty
CIVIL CASES NOW on

After hearing the testimony in the
case against George and Mat Stone Of
Three Mile creek jury last Saturday
after celebrating but short time,
brought in verdict of not guilty.
This was a case wherein the Stone
brothers were charged with larceny of
sheep belonging to W, L. Swick, Mr..
Swick being the chief witness against
the defendants, although it is generally
believed. that other sheepmen were in
terested in the prosecution.
M. J. Mayes conducted the defense,
assisted by Judge Noonan, and it was
naturally very pleasing to them to
have their clients so thoroughly vindi-
Gated.
The next criminal case was against
Sergeant Clinton Tam and Ora Nabors,
the colored soldiers, charged with an
assault on an officer some time ago.
These are the guardsmen who were
mixed up in crap game and drunken
row at their quarters in this city and
which eliminated in the shooting in
the heel of Ross Tolliver, a fellow
guardsman. When arrested and taken
to the county Jail they attacked the
officer and tried to make their escape.
On this charge Tam was found guilty
and sentenced by Judge Shumate to
oas day in the county Jail. Nabors
wa acquitted. In the other case in
which both men were charged with
assault with intent to kill Tolliver, the
jury failed to agree. Judge Beardsley
defended the men in both cases.
This week the case of Charles Gerkin
against D. 8. James has been on since
Wednesday and the indications are that
it will not be finished before this
evening.
Gerkin was for seven years a tenant
on the James ranch, under only a ver-
bal contract or lease. At the close of
their business relations the men could
not arrive at a satisfactory settlement
and Gerkin is suing James for $4,000
damages sustained by him because IF
the alleged failure of James to abide
by his agreement. Mayes and Noonsn
are looking after Gerkin s interests
and c. w. Darrow is defending James

RED CROSS NIGHT

The Williams, hospitable home of
the Misses Sarah and Stella Dildine,
was taxed to overflowing by the gen
eral public that came to fill the cof-
fers of the local Red Cross chapter
Thursday night and the efforts of those
who labored 50 diligently to make the
affair both financial and social sue
cess were amply repaid.
Ernest Barlow was there with the
big spell and made the professional
auctioneer resemble schoolboy recit-
ing his first poem. The huge cake do
mated by Mrs. l.. A. Bowker and the one
given by G. E. Bigham were sold for
$4,000 each by chance and were then
re-sold by the persuasive auctioneer for
splendid sums. The cake furnished by
Mesdames j. +. Mccoy and l.. G. Clark
was added to the list and all
were then cut in slices and the slices
sold. A delicious potato pie, the gift
of Miss Dildine, went the same way
and letted $3.50. Senator Napier says
it was good and Ike knows-he got one
hite. The "Hoovcr Bag given by
Mrs. Sadie Korn, scared up to $2l.51.

Mrs. Everett and the many who so
generously assisted and especially to

ST. PATRICk's CON.
CERT GREAT Treat

A great musical t1eat was given to
the people of this city on st. Patrick's
night at the Odeon theater. The music.
al talent in Glenwood Springs is unus
ual for a place of its size and Father
Carrigan declared that we have enough
material lying dormant to put on, at
any time, three or four concerts equally
as good. He added also, that he had
given Irish concerts in Denver for more
than twenty-five years, but none Of
them surpassed the one given by the
Glenwood talent.
Joe Newman of Denver met with an
ovation that showed the gifted gentle
man how warm spot he holds in the
hearts of the people here, and he just
had to sing on until the entire col
lection he brought was exhausted be-
fore the audience would be satisfied.
Father Carrigan gave a splendid talk
eulogizing the Irish race and the
achievements they have made. He
stated that ireland had never gone out
to conquer other lands, that they be
lieved in their own national freedom
and hence accorded the same right, of
freedom to other peoples of the earth.
The entertainment was success
from first to last, all of which is most
gratifying to Father Carrigan and the
performers.

There are reasons why it is better for u. n shin
Shwhsat and wheat products to Europe than corn and corn
products. Questions Of bulk, Of keeping qualities and Of
