Initted by the Northern Construction
company, which is about $4,000 low

Smith, city engineer, to the residents
last spring. at the time the project
was launched. According to this
same estimate of Mr.. Smith, the cost
per 50-foot inside lot would have
reduced to $40 per 5O-foot inside
lot. Another considerable reduction
will be in the interest rate, the North
orn Construction company having
agreed to accept warrants for 6 per
cent, while last ear property owners
paid Z per cent.
Comparing the cost of this project
with that completed in the Aorth end
in 1921. it is seen that the assessment
for a 50-foot inside lot was $612.

was guarding the rear exit captured
Fortuna, but not until he had fired
a shot at the fleeing man, who fell
to the ground fearing that he might
be hit If Grady fired again. Grady

he had rot been hurt and had only
taken precautionary measures.

Twenty four men yesterday tried
one Mexican on two charges OF shop
lifting.
This is the first time, in Colorado
at least. according to the legal archi-
yes, that one person has been tried by
.wo jurics in one day.
The trials were in division r of the
district court. and the defendant was
Jose Guiteres. he was charged with
two grand larccnies. one at the Pelta
store on Third street and the other
1t the Menter store at Sixth and Main
The forenoon trial was on the Pelta
charge, and the> goods value in total,
alleged to have been taken, was $50;
the jury decided the value was but
ST.. and so the verdict was guilty of
petty larceny.
The value of goods alleged stolen
from the Mentcr store was $40 and the
trial on this began with another jury
impanelled in the afternoon. This jury
brought in a verdict OF grand larceny,
finding the value Of the goods stolen
to be $50
There was another remarkable fea-
