opera house. For a holiday diversion
for a vehicle to furnish jollity and
laughter during an evening this big
animated caricature of AIDES on the
American invasion of the Philippines
is hard to surpass.
When the curtain rose on the first

DANNY STILL ALIVE
Letter Received This morning States
That Daniel Mullin. Reported
Dead, Is StiH Alive But
no Hope for His
Recovery.

This morning Secretary Walker of
the Grand Junction aerie of Eagles
received letter from the secretary
of one of the aeries of Eagles in Salt
Lake City, stating that Daniel Mul-
lin. Of this city. is confined in St
Marks hospital in Salt Lake, that he
has been in a critical condition for
days and there is practically no hope
for his recovery.
Two weeks ago reports reached this
city that Mr. Mullin had died in Salt
Lake. These reports could not be
verified. Alr Mullin being member
of the local lodge of Eagles, the To-
cal council Of Knights of Columbus
and st, Joseph's Catholic church, the
members Of these organizations were
loathed to believe the reports as no
official announcements had been re-
ceiyed by the lodges or the church.
Secretary Walker made inquiries
and in response received the letter
this morning stating that Danny was
very low and not expected to live.
The many friends of the popular
pop corn merchant will be glad to
learn that the early reports were not
true and viii hope that there may yet
be change for the better in Mr.. Null
Inns condition. He has been ill for
"a long period. suffering from stom-
ach trouble and other ailments and
has been in the hospital in Salt Lake
for several weeks. He left Grand
Junction for that city to receive medi-
cal treatment, early in November.
He has been a resident of Grand
Junction for many years.

The suit for rehearing n the Seth

Troup of the equity court All of the evil
dence in the former trial is being read and.
as tho transcripts are voiuminous, it prob
ably will require the entire week to COM

The suit originally heard by Judge Sears
was TO probate the will of Mr.. Winch, who
died leaving an estate valued at about
10000. The original of the will was lost
and suit was on the probation of a copy.
Just as Judge Sears was about to sign the

bate, Elmer E. Thomas. one of the attor-
neys for the defendants. returned It to the
files, having found It at his Office Judge
Sears could not change the decree how

on the fact the original will is now at
hand and that the records were so vo-
luminous the reporter could not finish the

Following out their plan of protec-

be possible to believe that their exist

stone age. Here we find them still
grinding their corn between stones,
baking their peculiar bread called
"peki" on fat stone over a
wood fire, and using a fat stone
as dashboard whenever suffi-
cient water for washing has collected
in holes Of the rock, and for soap they
still use the root of the yucca pounded
and beaten up with water until it forms
a lather.
Long before history has any record
these Hopi Indians took refuge on the
tops of these mesas, pursued there by
those natural born fighters, the ADa-
ches. There they built their pictur-
esque stone dwellings rising tier upon
tier to a height of three to i've stories,
each story being a complete fat and
