ASPEN BOYS
FAIRLY BEATEN

The wall of the Aspen Democrat
published Saturday in this paper, re-
garding the fire tournament. is un-
called for and entirely misleading.
The intimation that the Aspen boys
were not treated fairly and in a most
hospitable manner while in Grand
Junction is utterly unfounded and to
make such statements just because
the Aspen team was outclassed and
defeated in several of the events
shows that the Aspen team and pa
per needs to heed that admonitlon
given in the article from the Demo
crat Don't get sore boys" The Aspen
boys were beaten fairly in every
event save the wet test, in which
event the Grand Junction team failed
to make the hose connection proper
ly and lost out. The assertion that
imported expert foot racers We're on
the Grand junction teem when 1t had
been understood that only home men
were 10 take part, Is utterly false
Only G~sd Juntion boys took ra't,
without a singh exception. 1t is pt-
culiar But some PEOPLE will get sc:e
when ;hey are fairy beaten and ca l.
not nave every.hins their own way.
The AsJen boys were well treii-d,
Hospitality entertained. dealt " h
fairly and went home with 5000
purse and it isto be regretted if they
are displeased with their stay in our
city.
The Aspen team won the wet test,
the Grand Junction team captured
the prizes in the straightaway, the
one hundred yard dash and the hub

MIDLAND'S
BAD WRECK
DELAYS TRAFFIC
Fortunately no Lives Lost
When Six Cars OF Train
No. lO3 Jumped the Track
Near Leadville.

The wreck on the Colorado Mid
land on Saturday morning. announced
Saturday by the Sentinel, and which
delayed traffic on the road for many
hours. came near proving a disas-
trous wreck from all accounts. The
wreck occurred a few miles below
Hayden station in a deep cut. and not
great distance from Leadville.
The train wrecked was the regular
west bound passenger train No. 102
Six cars were derailed, the trucks
torn from several of them and one car
thrown across the track, complete
ly blocking the road The train
express cars, two day coaches and
two Pullmans. A second engine had
been attached when the train started
up the heavy grade and when 1t
reached the deep cut it was moving
pretty swiftly. 1t was an early morn
ing hour and nearly all the passen-
gers were asleep when suddenly they
were aroused by series of crashes
II is believed that broken rail caus-
ed the trouble. Several of the cars
crashed into each other and jumped
from the track while the baggage
and express cars and two day coaches
and one of the Pullmans went off the
rails. the last Pullman staying on.
Happening as it did in the cut
there was no chance for the cars to
be overturned. One of the baggage
cars tilted up against the embank-
ment and the second one as it left
the rails was struck in such a manner
by the third car that IT was forced
square across the track. with It's ends
jammed firmly against are rocky
walls on either side.

of the sugar company, was here yes
terday and started some of the grow
ers to digging their beets. The ad-
vance guard of the harvest Will be
loaded tomorrow for shipment to tn
sugar factory at Grand Junction, says
the Oiathe Criterion. The beets this
year are fine and the crop is very
large. II is difficult to estimate what
the output will be but the shipments
should reach $50 or 500 cars. At
any rate, the beets viii bring lot of
money into the country and tho farm

The shipments of sugar beets for
the Grand junction factory was be-
gun here this week, saye the Delta
Independent, the first car from Delta
being loaded on Thursday. a new
dump for loading was constructed on
the branch siding at the north end
of Main street. The beets at this
dump are unloaded from the wagons
by driving on the dump and tipping
the entire load into shoot which
leads from the dump to the car.
Delta county has raised about 1000
cars of beets for the Western sugar
company at Grand Junction. The
Delta county beets are said TO be
the best quality this year ever rais-
