Watters-AkrOn Hay
Has KnOtty Legal
Points. No Decision

No decision has yet been reached by
Judge McDougal in the hay case, an
extended lawsuit between the Akron
Mining company Of White Pine, versus
S. s. Waters Of Crookston. II is a
complicated matter, in which the evil
dence Of the trial show that the COM
pany during 1920 purchased ninety
tons Of hay from Zed Scott, who was
running one Of the Waters ranches
under contract of sale. It received
delivery Of some thirty tons, but
paid in advance for about fifty tons
more. Not needing it just then, de-
livery was delayed under agreement to
turn over the new hay crop, until the
spring Of last year. In April Of 1923,
Scott decided he could not pay out on
the ranch and turned it back to Mr..
Waters. Both he and Waters testi-
fy nothing was said about this fifty
tons due the Akron company, altho It
was paid for in advance, and stacks
of unused hay were on the ranch.
Waters position is that he owned the
hay. and when the company demanded
it month later, would not hold him
self bound by q contract he knew moth
ing about.
All sorts Of legal points enter in
here, as TO innocent purchaser, pre-
1erred creditors, etc. Stone and
Koehevar are representing TIE Akron
company, and Nours4 and Hogan are
attorneys Tor Ar. Wattexs.

WHITE PINE -sEsI PRO77
DUC|Me MINING SECTION
Akron Shows Worth of
Ore Deposits BY Con-
tinuous Shipments for
Year. Reagan Gets
David H.

White Pine seems to be the banner
producing section of our mineral ter
ritory at the present time, although
evidence appears that Vulcan will dis
pute that claim in 1924, il the Good
Hope gets under way as believed.
Last week, News Champion publish
ed some interesting facts about the
production of the Akron from slopes
of the old North Star mine, which has
been undercut by the mile tu, II
the Akron company. A corr .,oad-
ent at the Pine sends US information
that we were conservative in estimat-
ing the output of the Akron as 22
carloads a month. The actual num-
ber shipped in 1928 was 355 cars Of
ore for that company, 20 cars from
the Victor and one from the Towne
and Eastman lease.
1t is understood that John C. Reag-
an, owner of the Morning Star, has
recently purchased the old David H.
mine on. Lake hill, as well as the
Porter & Smith interest in the West
Point. The David H. was sensation
al producer in 1901, shipping s35, 700
in silver-lead ore from one pocket.
The mining industry really looks
better than for years in our locality.

Basketball Contest at

Top o. the World
The Rocky Mountain Conference
Champions invaded Gunnison Satur-
day and captured two games from
Western State.
The Tiger Five is composed of two
all-conference men, and they are far
superior to Western State il. every
way, emphazing experience. West
ern State had an opportunity TO hold
them to real close score, but failed,
due to lack of practice and the inabili-
~ of the Mountaineers to hit the
basket.
Western State had the ball in pos
session practically as much as the
Tigers, and had as many shots; but
the more proficient and clever C. C.
five were able to hit the basket.
The better team won.
The team work Of the Tigers is
marvellous and their style Of ball the
very best. Western State has no kick
comm, for a game with such q
star team as that Of Colorado College
is worth great deal. Much basket
ball is learned from the games that
probably would never be revealed in
practice.

WESTERN COLLEGE BECOMES
FOOTBALL OF POLITICIANS
School is Made Pawn of State officials Because
of Affiliation of Certain Partisans Who Have
Personal Grudges to Crafty. Rawalt and
Thomas are Named

Under the above caption, the "Top
o. the World" Western College stud
ent publication. in its issue of this
week, drives the harpoon deep into the
vitals of some of the marplots who
have been busy for a year, assailing
not only DIR. Samuel Quigley, but
everyone who dared to stand in their
way and all to crafty personal
grudges and in the hope Of achieving
gain.
II has been disgrace, not only to
the community, but for those individ-
uals in the state house at Denver,
who stopped to listen to such tales,
grossly untrue, items and events ex-
aggerated beyond all relation to the
facts, and cmenating from men dis
credited both ut home and abroad by
those who knew them.
II is not surprising that the young
men and women editing the college
paper should grow indignant, and
once aroused, should WELD wicked
pen in lambasting the enemies of the
school. The two articles follow:
western State College has been
dragged into politics. She is The in
nocent victim of designing politicians
who have personal grudges to satisfy
and personal cupidity.
1.-TWO Gunnison politicians, who have
following recruited from the dis
gruntled minority that always grows
up around any public activity, have for

SUPREME COURT DECISION

feasance in Office in the district court
was reversed, IL quite q lengthy docn-
ment, and News-C Champion will pub
lish only the important features Of IT,
The court says:
The indictment was returned April
23, 1928 and was thereafter supple
mented by a bill of particulars. All
defendants moved to quash because NO
offense was charged. Defendant
Whalen also moved to quash on the
ground that the statute in question
was not applicable to him. Both mo-
tions were overruled. The jury was i'm
paneled and sworn May 81, 1923. At
the close Of the peoples evidence, de-
PENDANTS moved for an instructed ver-
dict on the ground that there was NJ
proof of willfulness and corruptien.
That motion was overruled. The ver-
dict was returned May Is, 1928. md
it was therein recommended tint
Sullivan and Knowles be removed
from office. Motion for . new trial
was filed and overruled and judgment
entered ON the verdict.
There appears to be no material dis-

this great deposit of white iron on the
Lake Fork in Gunnison county, the
iron pyrites being the source Of this
metal.
The outcrops extend over nearly q

purchased about 200 acres, taking
over the Milbourne and C. N. Shaw

ARSENIC MINING PROMISES
GREAT THINGS FOR GUNN|sOh
Sudden Demand by Cotton Growers for Poison
Metal. Only Solution of Boil Weevil Problem.
Government Declares This County has Great
est Deposits in America

A boom in arsenic mining for this
county is indicated by articles in the
daily press and information which
has reached Gunnison Of late concern
ing the immense deposits of that met
al on the Lake Fork. Not only is
the mining to be done on large scale
according TO present outlook, but
treating plants of huge capacity will
probably be erected, either near the
deposits or near this railroad center.
Government engineers have been
making Investigations this last sum-
mer on the deposit between Dubois,
on the Lake Fork, on Sapinero mesa
and declare it is the largest known
arsenic area in America. The Vulcan
and Good Hope mines at Vulcan are
also known to contain large bodies Of
arsenical ores. In the vicinity of
Gothic and the Doctor mine are said
to be arsenic deposits.
The sudden demand comes from
long and thoro experiments by the
government on control Of the boil
weevii, which affects cotton plants.
Nine tenths Of all cotton areas are
now infested with the boil weeyil, and
nothing but arsenical spray seems to
do any good. At the present time,
there is not enough arsenci produced
to spray the cotton crop once. and
most of the present output is used In
the arts, medicine and for fruit
sprays. Also the corn weevil, it Is
believed, can be controlled by an ar
senic spray. Corn and cotton are
our greatest crops in the United
States, SO TINT it is not surprising

YELLOW PAINT DECORlTEs

Of DR.. QuiRley, who believed in direct
action, /. W. w. style, got busy Tues
day night and painted bright, vivid
yellow the fronts Of C. T. Rawalt's 3
Gunnison Empire Office and the Thom-

such thoro job that it seems diff
cult to see in or perhaps out Of the
darkened Window, which were like
wise covered with the paint.
No clue to the perpetrators of the
deed has been secured by the authori-
ties. Temper has run high all over
town since Rawalt and Thomas testi-
fied against DR.. Quigiey before the
State Normal School Board last week,
and outraged feeling is expressed,
not only among students, but towns
people who resented the unjust at
tacks. It is supposed the general re-
port that Rawalt had his car painted
yellow and was strenuously urged to
leave Haxton, Colo, shortly after the
war, by irate citizens who objected "a

Trout As Salmon
Prey To Be Stopped

Anchorage. Alaska, Aug. 16 CA. p.
by maiD-Under a plan adopted by
the United States bureau of fisher
les. 1t is hoped to increase the salmon
pack of the Cook Inlet section of
Alaska from 100000 cases in recent
seasons to 100000 within the next
few years.
According to william Studdert. in
charge Of salmon protection, the de-
pletton of salmon in southwestern
Alaska has been due as much to
failure to conserve the spawning
grounds as to over fishing. Mr.. Stud
dert declared the greatest enemy to
the salmon were Dolly Warden trout,
which preyed on the eggs in the
spawning grounds up streams and
caught the salmon minnows before
they could swim to safety. T.
zone trout" he said, captured in
q stream while the salmon fry were
travelling to the ocean revealed 20
odd fry in Its intestines. To stop
these inroads we have decided to de-
stroy the trout
Surveys are being made of every
stream used by salmon to reach
spawning grounds in the lakes. The
streams are being cleared of obstruc.
tons and made navisable for the
salmon. The lakes will be seined
and the trout transferred to lakes
not used by salmon.
