says: The week has been hot and dry, eX-
cept In n few favored localities where bene-
fetal showers arc reported. The conditions
have been generally favorable for harvesting,
which continues. but unfavorabe for late
crops, which are drying too fast. High
winds were quite damaging 10 late frui's IN
the western portion, blowing OIL much fruit
from the trees. Promising reports for hay
come from portions OF the San Luis valley.

Delta WAS the scene OF bank robbery ae-
companied by deplorable tragedy on the
eth. Three despcradoes rode into town nj 10
O'Clock and while one OF them held the
horses the other two entered the Farmers
and Merchants Bank. The cashier, A. L.
Blachly, and his assistant were covered by
revolvers and ordered to throw up their
hands. Mr.. Blachly yelled for help and wa.
promptly Killed by bullet through his head.
The robbers then secured ABOUT Sl,Uo anu
fled. w. Ray simpson, being alarmed with
other citizens, secured n rifle and went after
the robbers. Before they could ride out OF
range he shot and killed two OF them, but the
third made his escape with a posse In pursuit
There is not much hope OF capturing the
fugitive. A reward Of $500 is offered for his
apprehension. Nearly all the money WAS re
covered Persons who viewed the bodies of
the murderous robbers declare that they are
the men who robbed the bank AT Telluride a
few years ago. Mr.. Blachly leaves awife and
seven boys.
