THE OSBORN HEIRS WHY
The Celebrated ''Jumpingr Case NJ
Last Scttleti'an Orphans
Keep Home.

The readers of the Sentinel Wit
recall the details of the case fought
out in the local courts which involved
the alleged attempt of II. S. Plumb.
n ranehman of Palisade, section. to
lump the Osborn homestead farm
above Palisade. 1t will be remem-
bered that Osborn, ranchman, kill
ed himself, leaving large family of
Young children. The family resided
on a ranch which Osborn, years ago
had filed upon. Shortly before he kill
cd himself Osborn found that he hi,d
failed to properly prove up on that
portion of his ranch which he lad
b b.ought under cultivation, planted to
orchard and erected his home on but
mad properly proved up on portion
and practically worthless. Worry ing
over this error is believed TO have
driven him to suicide. 1t was alleged
that this man Plumb, knowing that
Osborn had failed 60 prove up Oh his
cultivated and improved land Jump
ed" this claim and filed on it himself.
AS q result the orphan children sto /
to lose their home and Plumb 10
wa it.
Friends of the children among the
pr minent citizens of Palisade and
this ,ity took the matter up and car
ried it first into the county court and
then into the land office at Montrose
Later 1t was sent up to the general
land cffice at Washington and on sat
urday word was received at PalisaIa
TO the effect that the case had been
decided in favor of the Osborn child
rem and that Plumb's entry had been
cancelled.
The decision has caused much re-
joieing among the Palisade people
who were -interested'sin seeing the
children of the suicide keep their
home and everywhere the decision
will meet with general approval.
A man can make his home on a
homestead, improve and cultivate if
hut If he never legally files upon IL
years after some other person can
Jump" it, secure 1t and reap the
benefit of the improvements but in
such case as this one exceptions
should be made in the law.

Ida and Grand Junction. Sheriffs,
marshals and officers with power to
arrest in every town between Grand
junction and Salida have been noti-
fled time and again to arrest Baker,
who is wanted on the charge of nom
support, but they have failed.
Mrs. Baker has been waiting in
Denver since January LIST to receive
news of her husband. She has writ
ten to him on numerous occasions
but can get no reply and no news of
him. He seems to possess the power
to vanish when sought or to make the
sheriffs along the line look the other
way when he is passing.
A special officer has been sent
after him and his arrest is expected
today Baker is said to be a free
spender and good fellow He has
many friends. and this is believed to
be the cause of his immunity from ar
rest.
Mrs. Baker has been subsisting by
the help of her friends while waiting
for her husband to be caught. She
went to Denver, January LIST to visit
her 1O-year old son. who is attending
school there. The trip was made at
the request of her husband. and she
suspected nothing. The first week
passed without letter or remittance
and Mrs. Baker began to grow anx-
ious. AS the time passed she began
writing her friends in Glenwood, but
they could not get word to Baker. He
seemed able to escape them. Two
weeks ago Mrs. Baker became des-
perate and appealed to the district
attorney. A charge of non-support
was filed and the caplas issued.

TO UTILIZE POWER
WETUMPKA FALLS TO BE PUT TO
 COMMERCIAL USE.
Corporation Formed to Construct and Operate Electrical Plant and Distributing System af
 Rapids in Co0sa River.

A number of leading citizens of We tumpka have organized a corporation to put to commercial use the water power of the Coosa River as it breaks over the falls of Wetumpka. For years 1t has been recognized that there were great possibilities for the power atf- forded by the falls and rapids at We tumpka to be put to commercial use.
 Tn the report of the incorporation sent yesterday to the Secretary Of State by the Judge of Probate of El- more County, the declared purpose of the company was ito construct, ac- quire, maintain and operate power plants and electrical distributing sys- ten1s for power. light, heat and other purposes" The incorporators include some of the best known business and professional men of Wetumpka. They are M Hohenberg. A. Hohenberg, F. IW. LuIl, F. L. Tate and Charles C. Nc Morris
 It is believed that 1t is the inten- ton of the company to erect a power plant similar to the one at TaIIassee at the Wetumpka falls. Wetumpka is one of the oldest towns of the State. and for three quarters of a century there has been talk of utilizing that great power that has been going to waste day by day and year after year.
