JUROR IN FAMOUS PACKER
CASE REVIEWS ITS HISTORY

Delta Tribune
Herman Mayer of. Lake City. is
spending several weeks in Delta look
ing after his ranch interets. Mr.
Mayer is one of the early pioneers of
the Western Slope, having located at
days.
He claims the distinction of being
the only living man who served on
the jury in the famous Alfred Packer
case something over forty years ago.
1t will be recalled that Packer, who
was employed as a government scout.
brought five men into the Lake CITY
country from Salt Lake City. They
were prospectors fully equipped and
well provided with money.
The panty made camp at a point
about two miles south of Lake CITY.
at the foot Of oGld Hill mountain.
Provisions gave out and the men be-
c. ne panicky-frenzied, according to
the story told by Packer, the only sur
viver.
Some months later Packer appeared
at Saguache and spent money lavish
ly and told so many conflicting tales
that suspicion was aroused and he
was jailed, later making his escape.
When the bodies of the prospectors
were discovered, warrant was issued
for Packer and he was arrested in
Montana and brought back to Lake
City for trial.
According to his story, there was
one man of the party named Swan,
who showed signs of insanity and
had made numerous threats against
others of the party. Packer, at the
trial, represented that one morning he
went up onto Gold hill to see II he
could discover any signs of human
inhabitation. and that when he re-
turned, rifle in hand, this man Swan,
was roasting the arm of one Of his
companions over the fire, all four be-
ing dead; that when Swan discovered
him (Packer) he attacked him with an
AK; that a fierce struggle ensued in
which Swan was killed by q bullet
from Packers gun; that he later on
cooked portion of the human meat
and left the camp.
His stories were conflicting and by
no means convinced the jury Of his
innocence and he was convicted, Judge
Gary sentencing him to be hanged at
Lake City. However, it was later
discovered that under the statute he
could not be legally hanged and he
was given another. hearing, this time
at Gunnison and sentenced to the state
penitentiary twenty years on each
count, making total of 100 years.
His health broke and he became very
feeble, and was parolled short time
before his death. It is said that his
parole would have come sooner had
he not made threat to Judge Gary,
when the latter and his wife called on
him, that when he WAS released he in
tended to kill off the judge, the jury
and some Of the witnesses.
Mr.. Mayer says that he had the
honor of an invitation to be present
at the Changing" and that to this
day the rope which had been bought
for the purpose, hangs in the Lake
City Jail.

SAN LUIS VALLEY GOES
IN FOR DAIRYING

The San Luis valley of Colorado
has raised $4,000 and has put on a
five year dairy program. Max Gran
by, graduate of the Colorado Agri-
cultural College, has been employed
to direct this work and will be located
in Alamosa. Many farmers in this
region have had little experience in
dairying. Mr.. CRANKY will help them
select their cattle, suggest rations and
farm equipment.
The money was procured thru q

Montrose Daily Press:-
Lion Buskirk said that his atten-
ton had been called to the fact that
the Grand Junction Lions and Rotary
clubs were backing q movement to
have Western State College at Gunni-
son moved to Grand Junction. He did
not believe it was good plan after
SO much money had been expended
there on grounds and buildings and the
institution had gotten such fine start

vice clubs is to promote harmony and
goodfellowship. He, therefore, Of
fered jointly with Lion Hauser, the
following resolution, which was un-
animously adopted by the club. Copies
Of this resolution were ordered sent to
the secretary Of the other clubs.
RESOLUTION
"Be it resolved, That we, the Lions
club Of Montrose, Colorado, are
strongly opposed to the action by GER
tain citizens of Grand junction, that
may cause the removal of the West
em State College from Gunnison to
Grand Junction.
"As we understand the principles
Of Lions Clubs and other service clubs,
they are to foster and encourage not
only q spirit Of cooperation amongst
the people Of their particular locality,
but their larger purpose as well is to
advance and promote and build up
that broader spirit Of cooperation and
friendliness between surrounding cities
that all may work together harmon
iously.
Therefore, all cities Of the Western
Slope should at all times cooperate
and act in harmony and not attack
each other or attempt to take an en-
terprise or institution from one city
and bring it to another.
"The Western State College was es-
tabhshed in Gunnison by act Of the
Legislature. and large amount Of
money is invested in land and build
ings, which if removed, would be big
loss to the state.
"Be it resolved, That a copy Of this
resolution be sent to the Lions Clubs
of Grand Junction, Delta, Paonia,
Glenwood Springs and Telluride.

Eradication of Cattle
tuberculosis Costs Less

In the eradication OF cattle tubercu-
losis II is now possible to get better
use out Of the money expended than
ever before, according to the expert
ence of the veterinarians carrying on
the campaign for the United States
Department of Agriculture. During
the past year the average cost per
head of testing cattle under govern
mont supervision was 35 cents, re-
ductIon OF II cents from the figure OF
the preceding year. This reduction
which was brought about largely
through the spread of the area testing
plan. makes 1t possible to advance
much more rapidly with the eradica-
tion work. Most of the areas in when
all Of the cattle have been tested at

Sweet Glover Requires
WelI-Settled Seed Bed

Sweet clover requires a well-settled
and firm seed bed. with Just enough
loose soil on the surface to permit the
seed to be well covered. When sown
in the spring on winter grain. the seed
bed is as rule in good condition,
and the seed will be covered by al
ternate freezing and thawing. When
sown with spring grain. the seed ped
is often not so firm as it should be for
rapid termination. In such cases it Is
n good plan to roll the ground after
seeding. When seeded without nurse
crop it should never be sown on iahu
which has had no chance to settle.
For this reason the land should be
n,owed some time before seeding and
worked down by thorough cultivation.
In the West, where spring seeding Is
always necessary, the best results are
secured from fall-plowed land followed
by early spring seeding.

TROUBLESOME DUTY
IN WEAVING FOALS

separating the foal from Its dam is
always troublesome duty in the fall
and all too often the foal suffers a
setback In the process. The inconven-

At weaving do the separating work

also cause arrangement of the foal's

times accounts for the fact that a
foars coat sheds in patches. That
may also result from letting the foal
take milk from a hot, tired, sweating
mare.
Better not let the foal run with
the mare when she is at work on the
