THE PUEBLO CHIEFTAIN
ROCKY FORD NEWS

Special to The Chieftain.
Rocky Ford, MAY IAN interesting
and somewhat peculiar case was tried
in justice court this week wherein
dentist sued for the recovery of the
price of a set of teeth. The defense
was that the teeth did not fit and could
not be worn, the plaintiff claiming that
the defendant did not use persistency
sufficient to know whether or not they
could be worn. Expert testimony was
called and an effort made to in
duce the defendant to submit to
a fitting OF the teeth for the benefit of
the jury but the defendant concluded
that she bad had fittings enough and
baked and the plaintiff lost what was
considered a good point. After few
moments deliberaton the jury decided
that mo fit, no pay" was as applicable
to teeth as to a suit of clothes and
the dentist has the teeth.
A Mexican disturbance was ouelled
by the police Tuesday night and the
victims all drew fines in police court
Wednesday.
John. Maxwell, charged with the lar
ccny of parts of a motorcycle. the prop
'crty of Alva Tuttle, was before the
court Wednesday. was found guilty and
bound over to the next term of the Dis
trict court to be held the second Mon
day in June.
A largely attended meeting of the
! Lions club was held Wednesday noon
at the El CAPTAIN hotel and as usual
the meeting proved a most interesting
one. Among the accomplishments of
this orga nization is one that should not
he overlooked and that is the discovery
of some wonderful voices both in tenor
and bass, with an occasional falsc..o
3 that is not to be laughed at and it IS
a fact that the members get a lot OF
/ enjoyment out of the vocal part of the
program and the music club chorus has
nothing on tho Lions club. There was
once a brass band in the east that ran
an ad in all the papers which read
For long and loud playing we can't
f be beat" and If there is any chorus in
the west that wants TO compete with
/ the Rocky Ford Lions all they have to
do is to mako it an object.
Among tho business taken up
! Wednesday was the choosing of a del
ccate to represent the club at the
freight rate meeting to be held at Den
vcr next week.
Nominations for the coming elections
were made at the meeting and 1t was
voted to visit the Pueblo Lions on
Thursday May 26, and to send large
delegation to the annual state meet

Vcntion at Oakland. Cal. in July
