PAWNs BICYCLE
FOR TWO DOLLARS
Tells Officers Story of Having Been
Held Up by Robbers, Who Left
the Wheel in Exchange
for $55 w

G. A. Smith, who claimed to live at
938 East Ninth street, showed such
agitation when he saw a policeman on
First street last night that the officer
became suspicious and accosted him.
Smith, who had just emerged from
pawn shop at 107 East First street, be-
gan an excited tale of being held up by
five men in a dark alley somewhere in
some unknown part of the city, and
said that the highwaymen had robbed
him of $55. The mans tale was so
questionable that the officer required
him to accompany him to the pawn
shop from which he had just come.
There he learned that Smith had sold
wheel for So.
After cross questioning Smith finally
admitted that he had stolen the bicycle,
but said it had belonged to the robbers
who discarded it after they robbed him
and he felt he had a perfect right to
take It, considering the fact that they
had stolen sos from him.
Smith was placed in the central po-
lice station where he was booked ON
charge of grand larceny.
The police think his tale of being held
up was merely concocted story to ex-
cuse his undue agitation when he saw
the policeman. However, the matter
will be investigated.

FIND PROFIT IN
DEAD ANIMALS
FERTILIZER MEN EXPECT CITY

Dogs, Cats and Horses Must Be Dying
Rapidly, According to Auditors

Either there has been an alarming
drain on Los Angeles supply of dogs,
cats and pets or the figures of the city
dead animal contractors lie.
This is the conclusion reached by
members of the finance committee of

The reports crcpt out when the

are getting each month from the city
q sum of money ranging into the hun
dreds for hauling and dispusiug Of con-
demned meats for which other fertilizer
and similar plants viii pay "a big price
because of its commercial value.
The discovery came about by finding
a bill for $4O4.50 from Taimter which
was O K'd by Chief Of Police Kern and
Desk Sergeant Mcclure, indicating tuat
972 cats and dogs and l9l horses had
been disposed of during the month
TWO of the non-partisan members oi
the committee figured bit and came
10 the conclusion that such "a feline and
canine mortality was improbable.
A few Of the items I'm the dead animal
book were:
December 1905, 299 cats and sc dogs
dispatched

Drake Bill N. c..

The Denver Republican is doing
good work in behalf of proper
railroad legislation. The bill in
troduced by Senator Drake of
Larimer county and heralded as
the administration measure with
the purported sanction Of Gov.
Buchtel and John Vivian, chair
man of the Republican State
Central Committee, has met the
Republicans sharp disapproval
and altho the party whip was
cracked a time or two Mr.. Vivian
probably realizes by this time
that he can go so far and no fur
ther. This bill is for commits
sion composed of present state
officials in order to avoid the eX-
pense of a regular commission
which the governor says will
amount to $4,000 per year. If
it is square deal" commission
the benefits derived will be away
and beyond this purported cost.
The Drake bill suspends the rul-
ings of the commission until they
are passed on by the courts, which
is directly contrary to the meas
ure passed by congress.
The purported administration
bill will not do without being ma
terially amended and we are GER
tainly glad to see the influence of
the Denver Republican thrown
against it, on account of which
there is some hope of a measure
that will be of genuine benefit to
the people.
Senator DeLong is quoted as
saying that he will not stand for
the Drake bill. Of course we

Site For Normal School.

AT the regular meeting of the Busi-
house Monday night. the State Normal
School proposition was further dis
cussed and it was decided to offer a
choice location consisting of 20 acres of
valuable land as an inducement to Sc
cure the school for this place. Delta
will go as far as any of its competitors
in the way of inducements but our peo-
pie have the same conviction expressed
by the Grand junction committee that
nothing of this kind should be ncces-
sary. The school is badly needed on
the Western Slope. Were it opened
tomorrow the enrolment would be
larger than could be Accommodated and
the State of Colorado owes this section
of the state such school without ex-
pccting citizens of the town selected 10
put up cash and land bonus. If every
town which is an aspirant would agree
to this position it would be better.
A branch of the State Normal should
not be knocked off to the highest bidder
but the question of location should rest
entirely on merit, which pertains to the
best interests of the patrons of such
school for the years that are to come
The most important question to be
considered is to get it in central loca-
tion where the population that will
supply attendance will have as equal a
distance to trave! as possible. Delta is
in the geographical center of what is
destined to be the most populous sec
tlon of Western Colorado. The school
should not be sidctracked away from
the people who will supply the students.
Another most important considcra-
tion is the matter of health. An equ.
table climate where there is little cx-
trcmc IN temperature should not be
overlooked. Good water is a vital
guardian Of good health No place on
earth has better water for domestic
purposes than Delta.
1t is not the purpose of this article,
however, to detail the long list of ad-
vantagcs we have to offer but simply
to state the fact that such school should
of right and justice be established in
this part of the state and the matter of
location should be one of welfare for
the institutions S future and not a uucs
ton of how much money or land any
particular community is willing to offer.

A False Alarm.
DENVER RcpublicanJ

When President Roose welt un-
dertook to give the people some
authority over the common car
riers and to break the power of
the trusts by making certain the
abolition of rebates, a hullabaloo
was raised that such procedure
would spell ruin to the country
and alarm capital. Indeed, Mr..
James J. Hill has not ceased yet
to cry in the wilderness. But the
Roosevelt policy did nothing of
the kind. Through all this need
full reform brought about by the
national executive, the business
world has failed to turn a hair"
and the remarkable condition ex-
lists of the country being in it's
most prosperous state at the hour
in which the most important econ
omic legislation of forty years is
being made effective.
In Colorado agents of the rail
road corporations are giving
tongue to the same sort of talk as
was vainly attempted in Washing
ton. It is whispered for publica-
ton that effective railroad legis-
lation at this time would frighten
capital and hinder further rail
road extension in Colorado. OF

done more than any other inhu-
ence or instrument to block the
introduction Of capital for rail-
road extension. For years this
same combine has done every
thing possible to hinder the COM
pletion of the Moffat road, an
enterprise that would place Den
yer for the first time on a main
trunk line east and west and
which would add immensely to
the states wealth. This railroad
combination does not seek further
