highly .po,:en Of by the Cunnison pa
pers and will receive hearty welcome
here.
The Tribune says: y. p. Huntley,
who has been the efficient Denver Il Rio
GraDde agent at Gunnison for the past
fourteen years, will take his departure
from this city on April lst for Delta to
accept the agency for the road at that
place. This change will be much more
convenient for Mr.. Huntley because he
owns large fruit farm near there. and
his wife spends most OF her time there.
Mr.. Huntley has made a most excellent
representative Of the Rio Grande in the
many years he has been stationed at
this point and was always accommodat.
ing and polite to the patrons and the
public. He is a thorough railroad man
and deserves the recognition he has Just
received at the hands Of the officials.
His numerous friends will regret to learn
Of his departure and they will all join
with tho Tribune in wishing him pros
perity in his new home"
The News says: "In the transfer OF
j. p. Huntley from this place to Delta,
We believe the people OF Gunnison have
lost good citizen and accommodating
official. We are informed that Mr.. Lo-
gan, his successor. is very courteous
and accommodating agent and it is quite
probable that in losing one good citizen
we gain another, but the News would
have preferred to gain Mr.. Logan and
keep Mr.. Huntlcy."

one was . showcase done all in yellow

AFTER SHARKEYS CHECK.
Fitzsimmons' Attorney Files Suit for
 Recovery of the Amount.

San Francisco, Dec 9.-Col. I. K. Kowalski, the legal representative of Bob Fitzsimmons, has brought suit directly against Tom Sharkey to recover $10,000, which the defendant is alleged to be with holding from the right of the owner.
 This action." explained Col. Kowal- ski, 'can settle the whole controversy in short order. If Sharkey, Earp, Lynch and that clique are in the right they can get in and prove it. If they are in the wrong they will bring up some technical ity and cause delay.
 We will appear before Judge Sander son and produce our witnesses. We will show that there was conspiracy by which Fitzsimmons was robbed of $10.- 000 and the evidence in our possession is overwhelming. The reason we desire to put our case before the court is that wit daesses in affairs of this Kind are of mil gratory character. Their business calls them away. While they are here we want to hear their testimony instead of having to delay matters by having to send out of the state for depositions. If
