NEW YORK BROKER
STRANGELY GONE.
Charles Henry ealIaIee, While on an
Outing In Colorado Drops
q Out Of Sight.

cARBoNDALE, Col, July 2s.-
Grave apprehension exists here for
the safety of Charles Henry Gallalee,
a young New York broker, who came
TO Colorado several weeks ago to
spend the summer. Mr.. Gallalee
spent some time in Denver, stopping
at the Brown Palace Hotel. and then
he came to Carbondale. In Denver
he is acquainted with several promi.
nent families. None of these has
heard from him for two weeks.
Mr.. Gallalee, who had been stop.
ping at one of Eugene Grubb's COW
camps, ten miles northwest of Car.
bondale, saddled his horse a week
ago last Sunday and announced he
was going for good ride. That was
the last seen OF him at the COW camp.
He did not call at Grubb's ranch, as
was his custom, nor has anything
been seen of his mount.
For several days the persons at
the COW camp paid little attention to
Mr.. Gallalee's absence, but now, learn
ing that he has not been seen by his
friends. they have become alarmed.
Fears are entertained that he has
either met with foul play or accident.
: Mr.. Gallalee left all of his clothing
and personal belongings at the COW
camp. The horse he rode belongs to
the woman who cooks at the camp.
Mr.. Gallalee was on the point of buy.
ing horse from Mr.. Grub when he
dropped out Of sight. The missing
broker carried transportation tickets
personally signed by George Gould.
Inquiries have been made through
this section by telephone to numer.
Gus ranchmen without result. If
news of his whereabouts is not re-
ceived soon a searching party will go
out.

INCREASE IN VALUATION.


Personal property assessors from
all parts of the State have returned
larger amount of taxable property
than formerly. They attribute the
increase to more money being found,
larger valuations on corporate wealth,
new business, and the greater effort
of the assessors to ferret out wealth
heretofore largely hidden. If the tax
agitation had done nothing more than
to awake public conscience, drive
property from its hiding and relieve
the oppressed by compelling many of
the dodgers to disgorge, and share
the burdens in taxpaying more equi.
tably, then is tax reform already win.

$40 or SIS last year is assessed this
year at $40 or s25. The same is true
