sTEVEDORE
DROWNED
Fell Off Wharf and His
Body Not Yet
Recovered.

Somewhere in the harbor the body
of a native stevedore is floating, unless,
before this is read, it has been recover
ed or carried out by the tide.
Shortly after midnight yesterday
morning japanese and a Portuguese
hackman, who were waiting for fares
at the Inter-Island wharf just outside
the gate, heard a splash. Leaving their
rigs they fastened to the edge of the
wharf between the Inter-Island and
Sorenson wharves and saw body in
the water Purser Morse Of the steam
er Ke Au Hou, who was just leaving
the Inter-Island wharf saw the man
in the water and going around to the
street side endeavored to effect a
rescue.
He was too late, for the body, par
TALLY submerged, foated in under the
wharf and has not been seen since.
A hat was fished up out of the water
and Hawaiians thought it belonged to
Charley Heleloa, stevedore. They
were not certain about this, however,
but the hat was very much like one
that HeIeloa had worn the same night
The unfortunate man, who was APP
parently drunk, had been sitting on
the stringer of the wharf with his back
to the water. He suddenly fell back
ward and it is believed struck his head
on raft moored close in.
Efforts of the police and sailors yes
terday morning failed to bring the
body to the surface.

Kidney troubles are dangerous be-

THE COMING CAMPAIGN.

RANGE OPENS
APRIL FIRST.
Request by Delta County Live Stock
Association Granted by Forester
Pinchot at Washington.

Battlement Mesa Forest Reserve will
be open to cattle raisers on April lst.
Forester Pinchot, in communication
to George c. Wilson, secretary of the
Delta Live Stock Association, express
es much satisfaction at the recent
action taken by the cattlemen here
communicated to the department by
resolutions which were passed Mt the
ut the regular meeting held a week or
so ago. Further than this he has
granted the request made, viz, that
cattle should be allowed turned onto
the Battlement Mesa Reserve on the
first day of April instead of the first
day Of May, modifying the previous
ruling of the department. This will be
hailed with delight by the cattlemen.
The original date would have caused an
expenditure Of thousands of dollars
more for hay this season and worked "A
hardship on the business altogether en-
tirely unnecessary. However, the For
ester says that It will be impossible to
The Delta independent., 1906-03-09

change the turning out date on the
Uncompahgre Reserve this year, the
lateness of the arrangements and the
fact that it is new reserve, causing
much doubt among officials whether
they will be able to obtain and register
allIapplications for grazing even with
the late date of May LIST.
Cattlemen here are feeling very kind
ly toward the department for the
prompt action taken in this regard and
are expressing themselves as more than
pleased at the manner in which Forest
er Pinchot is meeting the situation.
All are satisfied that any such drastic
measures as were taken at Glenwood
Springs last year were of the most alb
surd and injudicious character and from
apparent feeling there will be little or
no trouble experienced in this district
the coming season if the present admin
istrative policy is continued.
Weather indications at present would
seem to predict good range the COM
ing season and plenty of snow in the
hills gives feeling to all cattlemen
that II prices are right this year that

IAN UNKNOWN MAN KILLED"
Jury in Inquest Over Skeleton Discovered on
Tongue Creek Brings in Verdict on Such Lines.

the remains of the one time rancher,
that there was reason why he should
have been found so far from the main
travelled road.
The discovery of the wagon and har-
ness which is reported to have been on
the Hartland Ditch, was one of the
things that was not brought out clearly
by witnesses sworn. The remains of
the dogs, there were parts of three
CANNES, could not be explained by any
one. And it was also disproved, con-
trary to rumor. that Alexander was in
the habit of being accompanied by
dog. No clothing of any sort nor any
buttons were presented to the jury for
evidence. Neither was it shown that
any smen who might be called under
popular suspicion, could have done the
deed apparent.
So the jury could find but one verdict.
During the testimony ON Tuesday after
noon it developed that a man named
Ford and man named Roberts were
in partnership in coal mine claim near
the spot where these bones in question
were found. Also that these men both
disappeared one night and that nothing
had ever been heard of them since.
Also that Ford owned and was continu-
ally with dogs. There is possibility
that here is solution to the problem.
A comparison of the teeth of the skull
and others showed that the lower incis-
ors, although heavy, were not what
one might call abnormally so. Yet
the upper jaw showed very heavy incis-
ors. in fact extraordinary. The shape
of the skull was as neighbors remem-
5ered that of Alexander's, but the chin
was pointed instead of fiat, which those
VINO KNOW Claimed was not the case
with the man whom these bones might
be supposed to be.
So the jury saw no other alternative
but to do as they did. Had few more
links in a chain that was badly broken,
been found. there is a great likelihood
that another kind of verdict would
have been the finding. But the few
links are often just the ones that
change the face of whole condition
that rumor and hearsay make appear
as without doubt. Circumstantial evil
dence of fourteen years standing is apt
to be most insecure testimony. Not
but that those who give it are honest
in their intention but an idea carried
for years oft times becomes a claim of
truth because of the continual presence
of it in mind and the subsequent recall
ing where rumor and unsupported talk
would bear out the impressions.
