100 CASES TRIED BY U. S. COURT
 IN TEN-DAY SESSION
Ninety-five Defendants Either Plead
 Guilty or Are Convicted at Globe

After an unusually large and lucra- tive sitting at the Globe sessions of the Federal court Judge William Saw telle and his court returned to Tue son Thursday night. 'It was the lar gest calendar of criminal cases ever held in any division of the state, D said Col John H. Martin, assistant United States attorney, yesterday on his return. With the judge, besides the colonel, were Frank Gray, secre- chief deputy clerk; Joseph M. c. R. McFall, chief clerk. The two later continued on to Phoenix after the adjournment, the rest returning the trials part of the time, testifying as an expert in the liquor cases. Miss Rider is the director of the Arizona State Laboratory at the University of Arizona. She is a graduate of the U. of A.
 During the ten days the trials last ed there were Al cases tried, with 96 either pleading guilty or being con- victed. Some of the remainder were discharged on technicalities or mix ups where half dozen or so of 'Bo- hunks'' would be in partners on a so- ciable barrel of Eye olde home brew and part of them would pleod guilty.
 Among the trials was that of a black mailing case where the culprit was given a stiff penitentary sentence. Four years was the longest sentence meted out, this going to punish man convicted of making moonshine. The woman in the case got six months in Canyon City, Colorado, penitentiary while the man was sent to Leaven worth. There were a large number of cases of operating stills. Another illicit still case brought penalty oi one year and a day on the guilty party. Fines aggregating $15, ,000 were collected.
 The next regular term of the court will be in Globe in October but there will several matters to come before the court here in Tucson in the mean time. When the court party left fol Globe about two weeks ago the mem bers expected to be gone until the lat i ter part of June but they disregard ed the eight-hour law and worked overtime to get the heavy docke 1 cleaned up.

HOLYOKE MAN
SHOOTS WIFE
AND HIMSELF
JOSEPH FRIEDRICH, so, KILLS
WIFE, COMMITS SUICIDE; FAM
lily QUARREL IS SUPPOSED TO
BE CAUSE.

Joseph friedrich, 60, and his wlfe,
Anna. IS, are dead in their little home
here as result of family quarrel
said to have extended over period
of several weeks. Mrs. Fredrick is
said to have died from the effects OF
four shots fired by her husband, who
later killed himself in another room.
Both were dead when neighbors who
had heard the shots arrived at the
home. The deed was committed about
/ 80 o'clock Tuesday afternoon.
Although neighbors declare the
Fredrick home seemed always to be
ouiet and free from friction, it, is
generally rumored that Friedrich had
recently taken exception to three of
his sons giving financial aid to their
mother. Two of the sons, who are in
Holyoke, declare that the trouble
arising over this was not serious
enough to cause their father to COM
NIT murder and suicide. They can
advance no reason for the actions OF
their parent.
Neighbors heard shots and hurried
toward the home just in time to see
Mrs. Fredrick fall on the back porch;
A moment later fifth shot was fired
from another part of the house. In
vestigation made by officers led to
the finding of the husand, lying dead
with bullet hole in his head.
Fredrick had been employed as a
fireman at the city light plant since
he took up residence in Holyoke last
September. He came here from
JJnionville, Mo.

new HOSPITAL
HASBEEN SECURED
FOR JULESBURG
DIR. e. P. MURDOCH IS PRIME
MOVER FOR THIS NEW BUSI-
NESS ENTERPRISE ESTABLISH.
ED HERE.

Arrangements have just been COM
pleted this week whereby Julesburg
has secured a hospital. DIR. E. r.
Murdock, a surgeon who recently
moved here from Ogallala, Neb., has
been the prime mover in securing
this addition to our city and the first
of the week he closed deal for the
building which is ample large to care
for the cases at the present time and
it is SO built that it easily be en-
larged to take care of any future
growth. 1t is the intention of the
doctor to limit his practice to sur
gerry only and the hospital is open
to all doctors in this section of the
country at all times.
A hospital is something that Jules
burg has needed for long time. Our
little city is well located on the june
ton Of the Union Pacific and railroad
facilities are such here that good con-
nections can be made with all the
surrounding towns.
The doctor will install the latest
devices and instruments in the sur
gical line and has employed a train
ed nurse to be on hand at all times.
1t is the intention to have all the
doctors in Julesburg on the staff Of
the hospital and it should receive
the hearty support of all citizens of
this community.

Farmers Elevator
at Sedgwick Col
lapsed Saturday

Last Saturday evening about eight
o'clock the new farmers elevator at
Sedgwick collapsed while it contained
about 1000 bushels of wheat. The ele-
vator was built with two large tile
cylinders and the west one was des-
troyed. Grain and broken tile com
pletely covered the track and also
destroyed the roof of the flour house
next door. No one was at the ele-
vator at the time but it is supposed
to have been caused by faulty con-
structon. The contractors who built
it gave a five year guarantee and they
have their man on the ground Will
start at once to rebuild the same. This
mishap comes at a very bad time for
the elevator company being in the
midst of the harvest season when we
have serious car shortage.

Friday on information from the sher-
if at that place that he was holding
James Coleman, who was wanted here
for purchasing tires from Geo. Reed
for his car and having the same
charged to the account of Mr.. McCone.
1t seems that Mr.. Coleman had been
working for Mr.. McCone but had been
discharged by Mr.. McCone in the
morning one day last week and that
afternoon bought a tire and couple
pairs of pliers from Mr.. Reed, having
them charged to Mr.. McCone and

HOW ABOUT HOME CUSTOMERS?

During the frothy period of pros
perity of the past two or three years
every one has at some time or an
other been made to feel the bitter
scorn of manufacturers and some mer-
chants, who had SO much business that
they did not hesitate to let you know
that they had no time to quibble with
you in order to secure your patronage.
But now that we have lost $500 ,OOO, 900
of European trade, and nearly $4OO,-
100000 of South American trade dur
ing the past year, it seems entirely
probable that customers at local busi-
ness establishments will soon be get
ting the same old hand shake and
welcoming smile that evidenced the
appreciation Of their old trade in the
days before profiteering and the bust
ness boom SO thoroughly revolution
lied production and merchandising
methods Of the Nation.

TwOmey Still In
sists on Capturing
Traffic ViOlatOrs

Marshal Twomey copped several
more violators of the city's traffic laws
last week. All were taken before Po-
lice Judge McKepips and fined the
usual amount. $500 and costs. Thurs
day of last week it was F. L. Hill of
Denver. Friday it was Walter Bo-
denner, who has been hauling wheat
for John Thesis. Tuesday of this week
there were a pair of them. M. R.
Butler, saleman for the Goodyear
Tire, company, and Floyd Fagg, an
employee of the Julesburg Motor
company.
Wednesday the marshal captured
the police judge of Chappell, A. R.
Riddle, for cutting the corner and
he was also hailed before Justice Nc
kcllips and received the usual fine.
1t is not the intention of the Mar
shal to apprehend the offenders un-
necessarily but with the streets as
crowded as they are the traffic rules
must be obeyed to prevent serious
accidents.

JULESBURG BALL
CLUB ON TENDAY
TOUR IN THE WEST
GAMES ARE LOST AT TORRING.
TON-WIN TWO AND LOSE ONE
AT CASPER-BRUSH HERE on
SUNDAY.

The Julesburg ball team has had
considerable hard luck in trying to
play all their games while on thsiI
present trip to Western Nebraska and
Wyoming. The team left here last
week and the first game was to have
been played at Sidney but had to b
called on account of storm. The next
day they played again with Sidney
and lost by score of to /. From
there the team went to Torrington,
Wyo., where they lost the first game
by score of 4 TO 8. The game schsd-
uled for the second day was cancelled
because Torrington failed to live uD
to their guarantee. Julesburg gave
them the same guarantee when theY
came here and came across and paid
the money but when they arrived
at TorringtOn they excused themselves
on account of having no funds.
Julesburg next went to C2spee
where they met the strong Casper
team and won two out of three games
played there, winning the first game
BY score of Il TO 3, the second game
by score of to and lost third
game IL to 4. From reports gathered
from the daily papers it seems that
there was great rivarly between tho
teams while playing in Casper.
The team is expected home the last
of the week and on Sunday will meet
the strong Brush team on the new ball
grounds at the Fair grounds in this
city. This should be another fast
game that is worth seeing. Brush
has been going good lately and is an
xious to turn the tables on our boys
for their previous defeats.
Next Wednesday the Sidney team
will be here for anoth her game and
we feel sure that JulesSurg will add
another game to their already long
string Of victories when they arrive.
Julesbrug has entered their team
in the Denver Post tournament which
will include the best teams in the
Rocky Mountain region and we ex-
pect to come out on top. This tour
nament will start on August 9th.

LEAGUERS MET
HERE WEDNESDAY
OFFICE SEEKERS SPEAK AND
PRESENT SOME UN-AMERICAN
ARGUMENTS WHICH SHOULD
DEFEAT THEM.

The non-partisan league held a
meeting at the court house in this
city last Wednesday and had several
speakers here. There were but hand
full of non-partisans here but the
speakers kept the meeting running
nearly the entire afternoon. Their
arguments seemed to be practically
nothing more than accusing every sue,
cessful man but the farmer of being
crook and thief. They did not
attack issues in any way but did claim
that the only salvation for the farm
er was the non-partisans and to elect
non-partisan men. S. G. Fosdick, one
of the democratic candidates for rep
resentative from this district. was one
Of the principal speakers. We believe
that this man should be defeated at
the primary in such manner that he
will never try to run for office again
in free and democratic governmenl
if for nothing else than for the fol
lowing statement: THAT he was a
bolshevik and proud of it, and that
Russia had the best government in the
world today" This is the type of
man that will destroy our government
and all its great freedom if electea
to office and we feel that it would be
one of the greatest mistakes the demo-
cratic party ever made if he should
receive the nomination on the demo
cratic ticket. The league has secured
candidates in practically every repre-
sentative and senatorial district in the
state and are endeavoring to put forth
candidates such as Mr.. Fosdick. 1t
behooves every good American to put
forth his best effort to down this type
of radical and see that real Americans
are elected to office.
