NEW TRIAL FOR ENYART

The supreme court, on Monday of
this week, denied Frank Enyart a
new trial in his case of last May when
he was found guilty OF a liquor
charge and, in county court, was SEN
fenced to six months in Jail and fin
ed $500. This denial Of a new trial
upholds Judge Chas. C. Woodbridge.
judge of the county court.
Following the conviction Enyart,
thru his attorneys. took the matter
up on habeas corpus before Judge
Trimble who dismissed it for want OF
jurisdiction. Enyart's attorneys fill
ed an application for writ of error in
the supreme court. This was heard
July and denied, in effect sustaining
Judge Woodbridge at that time. His
attorneys then made application to
the supreme court for new trial and
this was denied on Monday, however
it makes little difference now to En-
yart or his attorneys as Governor
Shoup had pardoned Enyart. The
pardon was granted on August IL.

o. HI. S. BOYS LOSE
BUT PLAY GOOD GAME.

The Ordway foot ball boys journ-
eyed to Pueblo last Saturday where
they played the Centennial team. The
game was held at the State fair
grounds and preceded the one be-
tween the Colorado School of Mines
and the Utah Agricultural College.
Probably neither team ever played
before such a large audience before.
The field was lined on three sides by
cars stationed as closely together as
possible. The grandstand extended
the whole length of the, field and
there were hundreds of people in it
Most of the college people who were
down for the MinesrAggies' game
came early enough for at least part
of the high school game. The crowd
was estimated at 5000. The Ordway
team was greatly weakened by the
absence of two of its best players on
the line and because of this was un-
able to make as good showing as
it might haye made. The game was
characterized by fast ard clean play
ing. The final score stood, Centen-
nial, 27, Ordway 0.
Friday, today, tho Ordway team
will play its last league game of the
season when it goes to Fowler to
meet the Fowler team. The boys
practiced hard to get into shape for
this game and are confident of vic
tory. A large crowd of Ordway fans
are expected to go to Fowler to help
the boys put over winning score.
