REMAINDER OF REED ESTATE
NEAR Iona SOLD LOCALLY

Some 1900 people attended the sale
of the few remaining tracts OF land
in the Golden Hills ranch near Iona
last week. when few tracts remain
ing were disposed of at auction. as
we'll as the machinery on the big
ranch and the town lots in Iona.
The crowd was not quite so large
as on the preceding day when 1900
people were estimated to be at the
opening OF the sale. jeff Payne. who
invested in part of the Cross ranch
which was sold in the same way.
continued to express his confidence
by purchasing the home place Of 12O
acres for $4,000.
John Heron OF Iona bought 35
of the lots sold in the townsite and
others bought whole blocks. All but
one of two Of the lots or block were
sold to local people.
The total sale Of property. both
real and personal. amounted to 800.
900, which is considered most salts
factory in the aggregate. The exact
figures could not BIT secured as the
totals had not been made. The ow-
ners were highly pleased with the
outcome.
One remarkable thing about the
sale. as we'll as that OF the Cross
ranch, was the confidence displayed
by the people OF the Grand valley
locally. The land was practically
all sold to local people. which was
decidedly remarkable and gives the
best evidence that the people who
live there are the best judges Of
the value Of that land. and they know
It is one of the very best sections of
the country from an agricultural and
horticultural standpoint.
Thus Is concluded another gigantic
sale. something never attempted be-
fore in Colorado. ]. F. Shuts. the
well known Grand Junction auction
eer, who manipulated this sale so
splendidly. has added another laurel
to his fame as an auctioneer. and It
will bring to him statewide atten-
tion as a successful home-builder
from the sale Of large tracts Of land
and cutting them up into smaller
farm units.

FAMOUS oUARTETTE WILL
APPEAR At cHAuTAUoUA

Possibly no kind of music has
greater appeal than the male quar-
tette. 1t is certain that the Marion
Ouartette has been a headline attrac-
tion on every Chautauqua circuit
where they have appeared.
: The Marion Quartette has been de-
veloping for several years. They
started as young chaps who loved TO
sing and play. Their program is the
development and selection OF num-
'bers which are sure fire.
The personnel Of the Marion quar-
tette has never changed. They are
the same men who were in the Quar-
tette when 1t was first organized.
Three of them formed the now IA
nous Arcadian Trio before that.
They feature the giant mardmba-
phone. Probably you have never
heard the marimbaphone. There is
also a saxaphone trio, banjo, pianist
and reader.
You will read about Dodds, Cat
lette, Kennedy and Studebaker in the
program booklet Four finer men
never travelled together. Their per-
sonalities radiate and they are the
same off the platform as on.
The program is a gem. There is
enough popular music in it to give
It spirit. The finer things are done
with understanding and artistry.
You will vote the Marions high
place on the Premier program.

existence the graduate physician of
the clinic has had 900 women under

Secrecy has been maintained, Mrs.

cause it was felt the project should
be given thorough trial and it's
value proved before an announce
ment was made.
There are two classes for which
we care" Mrs. Sanger stated, "those

WORDS Of ENOCH

BY the .Associa ted Press.

RICHMOND, Va, December 5.-The
state lost its fight to have admitted
as evidence in the murder trial of
Joseph Enoch the alleged confession
of the defendant, but gained the right
TO have read to the jury certain state
ments made by Enoch in the absence
of the jury
Enoch, who pleaded not guilty of
staying Celia Shevick, sixteen years
old, who died last April after having
been criminally attacked and beaten,
was on the witness stand Saturday in
support of defense allegations that
he signed an admission after many
hours of abusive and cruel treatment
by local police. The court record
shows the following:
Joe, what did you hit her WITH"
Answer: II don't know"
Was ii a long or short piece of
from"
Answer: Il couldn't say"
WAS it a piece of iron or steel?"
Answer: Il didn't hit her; they
made that up on me-
Words Read to Jury.
After protest by defense counsel,
Judge d. c. Richardson, presiding in
hustings court. ruled that the entire
section Of the examination OF which
these questions and answers were a
part, should be read to the jury, in
order that they might appear in their
proper perspective.
This part of the record will be read
to the jury when court Convenes to-
morrow morning and will conclude
the prosecutions case. Defense wit
nesses are expected to be under eX-
animation throughout the day.
,In ruling out today the alleged con-
fession, regarded by attorneys in the
case as the most important link in
the chain of evidence which police
defendant. Judge Richardson de-
livered a biting arraignment of local
police methods.
Like Torture of Old.
The evidence of the police officers
as to the manner and methods by
which the alleged confession of the
accused was obtained reads like a
chapter from the history of the in
QUESTION of the middle ages" the
court declared.
Il do not see how any one with an
unbiased mind can hear or read that
evidence without coming to the con-
cluston that the accused was COM
PEELED by mental torture and physi-
cal exhaustion to give evidence
against himself. and that the alleged
confession was not voluntary con-
fession within the meaning of the
law
Il therefore decide that the alleged
confession is inadmissible as evidence
against the accused"
