A Terrible Crime.

Delta has her first criminal case now on
the docket, the details, of which are almost
too disgusting for publication. Simeon w.
Decker, aged sixty-three, was arrested on
Curicanti creek, last Wednesday, and brought
here Friday night and lodged in jail. He is
charged with incest with his daughter Susan,
now Mrs. Freeman. The complaint charges
that he accomplished his hellish purpose
about two years ago at Rosita, when the girl
was only thirteen years old, under threat of
severe chastisement. He had had illicit in
tercourse with her until she was married,
about the first of the year, and that she is now
encient by him. The parties have been living
on the North Fork until this matter came to
light, when the citizens ordered him to leave
the country. The husband OF the girl, how
ever, came to Delta, had warrant issued for
his arrest, and placed in the hands ST Deputy
Sheriff Hunt, who overlook the wretch on his
way to the railroad after travelling three days
necessarily.
Decker served during the late war in the
Twenty third Illinois Infantry. He now
draws pension from the United States for
disability.
Saturday morning he was brought before
Justice Mather, when he waived examination
and was bound over to the District court.

Delta June IS, 1888.

The rain of last week raised the Gunnison
river higher than ever before. The water for
the first time since the bridge over the rive,
at this point has been built ran over the
piers. Very little drittwood has come down
this spring, and it is IT, belief of many that
there is vast accumulation sopewhere in
the Grand CO. III of the Gunnison, and that
at soy,e future high water this gorge will give
way and give the ranchmen few years sup
ply of good firewood At some time in the
past an immense flood has occurred in this
river, as is evidenced by the immense pine
trees found scattered over the valleys some
distance from the rivers present bed. Some
of these logs are three feet thick, and show
by the way they are broken that they have
passed through some enormous pressure.

The GARFIELD Carbonate Camp.

From the Irwin Pilot.
Robert Ware returned from the Garfield
county carbonate camp last week, and from
him we CLEANED the following pointers: That
the territory for one mile either side of the
is on mineral or not That in order to reach
there yon must still travel through thirteen
miles of snow. There was about one hundred
people in camp and but very few coming in
probably leaving as fast us going in. He says
if there is any mineral there he did not see
it, There is vein Of oxide Of iron running
through the country that will probably carry
from three to seven ounces silver. A spcci-
men Of the iron he brought with him and
shared it with us. lie says at the hot springs
there are probably thirty people loafing, the
most Of whom have the Colorado rheumatism.
Mr. Ware is a mining man and can be relied
upon. While he says he does not think they
have any mineral, yet it is not unlikely that
they will have, where there are so many men
prospecting.
In the same issue the Pilot prints the fol-
lowing in the shape of II letter from I. NJ.
Meyers: The formation is lime, porphyry

cred, the ore consists of iron and lead carbon

least, we will say few words about the snow.

years and had concluded with many others
that for the production Of snow Irwin had no
equal, but cheer up, brethren, for there is at
least one place that excrls Irwin in the pro-
duction of the beautiful, and that place is
Carbonate. There is from three to ten feet

A No. shoemaker can find this point

Delta has no saddler and harness maker,

This is a splendid opening for one in that

the finest agricultural territory in the State.
To first-class, trustworthy brickmaker,
we offer extra inducements to open up that

will pay largely. We have the finest clay in

that branch of business will receive assistance
if needed, and will be encouraged by every

We must have a Touring mill, and are
bound to have it before the year 1888 goes

How a Poor Man Succeeds.

About FIVE years ago Mr.. j. M.
Parish came to this State from Battle
Greek, Michigan, and took up a
homestead at Orange City. He was
poor in health and purse, but full Of
courage and enterprise. He has now
a fine orange worth thousands
of dollars, besides fruit trees and
vines of all kinds. He saw that
there was money In these sands, and
has made them conduce to his health
and wealth. We are particularly
struck with his success in grating
the European grape on the native
stock. A Black Hamburg vine gre
forty feet the first year OF grating,
and produced FIVE pounds of grapes;
more were on it but Mr.. Parish
pulled them off as he feared the vine
might be injured if allowed to per-
feet too much fruit. The second
year he allowed it to bear twenty
pounds of grapes and he expects a
heavy crop this year. He is now ex-
perimenting with the Flaming Tokay,
Delaware, Concords, ETC., on the wild
stock, and we have no doubt bat he
will succeed, for men like him do not
90 in for failure.

With the class of groves at the

ers, turning out in fruiting very in
different in quality and not a few
worthless. Some were true hybrids
between the orange and the lemon.
We would urge on all who adhere
to planting seedlings, to make sure
OF the source from which seed is OBJ
tanned; and as we said, seed could a
few years ago be obtained with al
most absolute purity, it by no means
holds good now. The fruit is not at

make sure budding, grating and
layering from assumed variety is the

he made a few years ago on few
rows OF nursery trees. The row
which had an application of Charles
ton Phosphate (rock) grew about as
well as the rows with nothing. Some
times he thought he could distin>
guish that it was IN advance, but the
results were not marked, to say the
least. The row with Peruvian guano
made growth far ahead of the others
and the one with both of the tertlli-
zers made no more growth than the
one with the guano. "To sum it all
up" said Mr.. A., where apply
fertilizers with ammonia 10 them
there get growth, and generally In
proportion to the amount OF ammonia
applied" Still Mr.. A. is great ads
vocate of humus- vegetable mould,
in some form. Very few logs and
very little brush or grass, is ever
burned on his place. At present he
is getting mulehing hauled from the
woods. For 81 per acre he gets the
grass and trash on ground which has
not been fired" for three years, cut
up with sharp hoe aud raked in
piles. 1t costs about So per acre to
haul it, and the amount is about 100
cart loads per acre. Each cart load
will thoroughly mulch 10 feet square.
Thus he is showing that he values
the annual growth Of grass and pine
leaves on an acre OF good ground, as
equal to SIS in value as a fertilizer.
II this is a fair estimate land for me
l do not doubt it) what millions OF
dollars the State OF Florida annually
loses on account of the firing Of the
