K|LGORE FREED
 IN SHORT TRIAL
fFrom rhnrsdav,s Dailyl

Acquittal of C. E. Ki1gore on a charge of uttering a bogus check yesterday marked the first attempt of J. Gardner Scott, recently ad- mitted attorney. The jury that heard the case against the young Jerome miner was out for about an hour and half and on returning to court at 4:30 announced its agreement on verdict of not guilty.
 C. R. Kilgore, uncle of the defend ant, whose name was signed to the alleged forged check, was the only defense witness and was asked but one question by MT. Scott: "Did you not offer to make this check good?" He answered affirmatively and elaborated his answer somewhat on cross examination and redirect.
 Leo N. Requena, proprietor of a Jerome pool ball, prosecuting wit ness. testified that he had cashed a check for $25, purporting to bear the signature of C. R. Kilgore with C. E. Kilgore as payee. The check, il was testified, came back as insuf- ficiently authenticated, in other words, the signature was unsatisfac- tory. 5o
 A. B. Fox, assistant cashier Of the Prescott State bank, was. called by the state to testify that the sigma ture and the name following "pay to the order of" and the indorsement were in the same handwriting. MT. Fox's testimony was attacked by the court himself, who claimed not to be satisfied with the bank official as an "expert witness" After a short col loquy, however, in which County At torney John Sullivan defended the ability of MT Fox to distinguish handwriting, the court let the evil dence stand.
 It was the contention of the de fense that while some testimony had been introduced to show that Charles Kilgore had cashed the check, noth- ing had been proven to show he had uttered" 1t as charged.
 During the trial of the Kilgore case, Superior Judge Sweeney drop ped bombshell in the camp of two other recently admitted attorneys when he notified them to be pre- pared this morning to defend Mau- ricio Perez on charge of assault against Charley Mons, Jerome Chinarlan. Charlie McLane and Lea Stack, both new lawyers, were the recipients of this case, and it was reported that they spent the rest of the afternoon preparing to blast tn: ! position of the prosecution.

FOREST FIRE BURNS
 JERSEY ROAD ACRES

Fire early Thursday afternoon burned over two acres near the Di- vide on the Jersey Lily road No damage other than the loss of young timber and damage to the graze was incurred.
 The fire was reported to the Pres colt forest service office shortly be- fore noon Thursday. Robert Munro, deputy supervisor for this forest, went to the scene, and with the aid of Fred Garrett, vocational ranger at the Groom Creek station, ex- tinguished the blaze.
 Attempts to discover who was re- sponsible for the fire, and the man ner in which 1t started, revealed nothing further than that Mexican wood-cutter had been in the area burned over during the morning, prior to the fire. Aside from this circumstantial fact, nothing could be learned about the origin of the blaze. The Mexican was read the law relat-. ing to forest fires, and dismissed.

PETITION HERE
 AGAINST NJ. 83
From Sundays Daily)


 The last state legislature enacted house bill 83, which demands that a special election be held on next No vember 8 for its ratification or re- jection by direct vote of the quail fled electors. If this bill receives a majority of the votes cast then 1t be- comes an amendment to the consti- tuition of Arizona.
 The expense of this election will be about $75,OOO and the state is in no condition to spend that amount of money on a special election, it is contended.
 If house bill S3 is ratified by the electors on the date stated above, then the promoters of any private ir- rigation project which can convince the proper state officials of the feasi- bility of their scheme will give the state their private per cent bonds aud will receive in return a like amount of the states 5 per cent bonds, which bonds will be used for the private irrigation project" says J. B. Ryan, who was here with ref erendum petitions yesterday.
 "The bonds given the state by the promoters cannot be worth the paper they are written on until their project is d proven success.
 Suppose that project proves fail ure for the reason of mismanage- ment, lack of rain or too much rain, washouts, etc. then ill that case the state would be holding lot of worthless promoters bonds while

KATICH JURY ALL
 DAY DEBATES BUT MAKES NO VERDICT

As yesterday wore on and the soles of shoes-heels down-along the sills of the jury room under the court house roof showed that twelve men were still confined there, it be- came more and more apparent that no verdict might be expected soon in the Kosta Katich assault case. When the jury, which received the case the afternoon before, filed into the court room at 1920 yesterday morning, hope was not raised, for word had preceded the members that were going to ask for further in structions.
 Instead of instructions, 1t was tes- timony the jury wanted. Speaking through Claude T. Davenport, the jury desired that the testimony of Mrs. Kosta Katich be repeated and Nellie Marshall, the court reporter, then read from her notes the testi- mony f Mrs. Katich on her direct examination. When she had finish ed, the jury, without a word, rose and passed up the stairs to its con- sulting room.
 Mrs. Katich sat on a bench ill the corridor much of the day, awaiting the decision of the men who were trying to decide whether her hus- band had been guilty of feloniWs assault when he flung lead at Emil Kovacovich and aside from ripping his coat, only injured him to the ex- tent of piercing the legs of Police man w. s.

FARM LABOR WAGES.

Thirty-rive dollars per month and
board for single men, and $65 per
month without board for man and wife
will be the schedule paid for farm la
borers in Larimer county this year,
according to agreement of representa-
tive farmers from the Timnath, Wa
verify, Harmony, Wellington, Loveland
and Fort Collines districts, who met in
Fort Collins Saturday and agreed upon
the scale.
T. NJ. Waggener, of Berthoud, was
chairman of the meeting, which was
attended by officers of the Great West
ern Sugar Company, who said that this
scale was in accordance with what they
were going to pay in the fields this
season, and they thought it would be
perfectly satisfactory to the laborers.
While expressing desire to be fair
with their help, the farmers declared
that wages paid last year were clear
out of reason and could not be dupl:-
Gated this season. These terms will
apply at the commencement of work,
and if found to be too low compared
with prevailing prices of farm prod
ucts, may be increased later.

PROSPECTS FOR CATTLE MEN
Nebraska College of Agriculture En-
couraoino Farmers to Increase
Their Operations.

The Nebraska College of Agricul-
ture is encouraging farmers to expand
their live stock operations. The
scarcity of all kinds of stock, especial
ly cattle, points to continued good
prices. With feed prices going lower
better days seem to be near for both
the live stock raiser and the live stock
feeder. While it is true that many
feeders lost money in the last two
years, feed prices may be 80 per cent
lower than last year. Likewise cheap
er feed and labor should stimulate
live stock raising. The number of
cattle in the United States has been
decreasing at an alarming rate. The
number in the United States has de
creased from SO head for every 100
persons in 1900 to 40 head in 1919.
During the same period the rate of
slaughter increased 5000, 900 head an
nually. Some people go so far as to
predict that in few years only mil
lionaires can have beefsteak on their
tables. unless live stock production is
stimulated

Hog Cholera Thrives in Such. Sur
roundinos as These.

give to the work of the hog-cholera
serum. 1t is unwise and uneconOmical
to depend entirely upon the serum to
protect the swine from this costly dis
ease. In 1918 the farmers paid Sc
rum bill of over S5,OOO,OOO and they
still lost $6,0OO,OOO worth of pigs.
There can be no doubt as to the effec-
tiveness of the serum treatment, but
the sensible farmer will do what he
can with shovel, hoe and disinfectant
to remove the cause of the trouble. The
threat of cholera is always present so
long as there are undrained cesspools
and wallOws. Straw stacks should
never be left from one year to the next
if they are where the hogs can reach
them. Shelters and pens should be SO
constructed that they may be easily
cleaned and exposed to the sunlight.
A few days devoted to work of this
sort in the fall when the hogs have
been taken from the pens will do much
to protect the herds of another year.

ing to Ronald Kingsley, field secretary
of the Colorado Manufacturers and

principal speaker at the Chamber of
Commerce banquet at the Strathmore
Hotel last night, only Is per cent. of
Colorado made products are consumed
within the borders of the state.
Mr.. Kingsley made forceful argu-
ment for the use of Colorado made
goods among our own people, and con
tended that if the state is to increase
in population and in Importance 1t
must foster and promote its own manu-
featuring establishments.
1.-The three leading industries of the
early days in Colorado mining,
cattle raising and irrigation farming
are on the decline,'' said Mr.. Kingsley,
and if Colorado is to go forward it
must develop along other lines.''
Mr.. Kingsley referred, as an exam
pie, to the candy industry in Colorado,
stating that the candy business Of the
state during the last year amounted to
$34 100000, but only very small per
cent of the candy sold was made in
the state, notwithstanding the fact
that the Colorado-made product was as
good if not superior to that brought in
from other states.
