Meet and Prepare for Another
Season-Levy an Assessment
to Square Accounts.

A meeting of the Delta Baseball as.
sociation was held at the office Of
Welch & Davis Tuesday night and pro
visions made to levy an assessment to
cover all outstanding indebtedness
which was shown to be about $50.
This is the amount that the associa.
ton run behind during the seasons play
which was caused mostly b. being un-
able to secure as many games on the
home ground as was played away from
home. Although the Management was
short of material at the beginning Of
the season a good team was finally got
ten together. which on an average won
four out of five games straight through
the season.
As the association have all the par
aphernalia to put a team in the field it
was unanimously decided co organize
q team early next season and begin
practice rs early as the weather will
permit SO as to be able to make the
best possible showing from the start.
There is to be determined effort on
the part of the members of the associa-
ton to see that this city has baseball
team that can cope with the very best
on the western slope.
Already material from which . team
can be picked is being looked for by
Manager Bennett and it is expected
that by the last of February 4 bunch
will be selected for next years trouble
on the diamond.

In its answer 10 the suit for the re-
covery of s22. 10 fled in the United
States circuit court by the state Of Col
orado against the Pullman company. al
legged to be due Tor certain taxes levied
on the company, the corporation in
question denied yesterday that it owed
any taxes whatever. and claimed that
the levy was Unconstitutional and inter-
fered with the right of interstate COM
merce.
The defense claims to be based upon
the fourteenth amendment. which
grants to all parties the right to have
due process of law before they can be
deprived of any property. 1t is also a.
legged that the state act under which
the tax Is levied is invalid.
The answer denies that the value Of
the Pullman company's property in Col
orado Is equal to ooe-twelfth Of the to-
tai value Of the company's property.
The value Of the possessions in Colora-
do Is not one -hundredths Of the to-
tai value Of the Pullman property. ae-
cording to the answer. which further
ayers that the business done in Colora-
do Is not one-thousandth Of the total
business done by the company.
The answer starts by saying that the
$l1 paid on August g, 1885, was all the
tax necessary by law for the company
to pay. The state maintains that under
the state oct il has the right to levy
the taxes for every increase in the cap
italization and for every amendment to
the constitution of the corporation.

DENVER UNION STocK YARDS, Dec.
11.-Receipts here were liberal last
week, the total being about 10000 head
as against 5000 the proceeding week.
Eastern markets also had good run,
good many medium and inferior cattle
being included, which had a very de-
pressing effect on the trade. Prices
were quoted 10 to 15c lower at most
eastern points and the decline in some
cases amounted to as much as a quar-
ter. Trade here was very satisfactory.
Average quality of the cattle was good
and good clearance made daily. Buy
ers were hungry on Monday and bought
literally and prices were considerably
higher. but later this advance was lost
on account of the slump east, and good
cattle closed about the same as a week
ago. Common cattle were if anything
q little lower. Beef steers were in fair
supply but packers were good buyers OF
everything in sight and would have tax
en- agood many more. Choice Wyom-
ing steers sold at 81 aud bulk of the
weeks business was oone around $3.50
to $3.50. Cows were also good sellers
and the demand exceeded the supply.
