One of the wheels of a heavily load
ed freight car jumped the track above

until nearly midnight.
Durango people are held up to the
ridicule of the outside world. OF
course our home people know how to
take the knockers. but outsiders nat
urally say that the wholesale accusa-
tions against our citizens must be SO
or such methods would not be permit
ted. Truly 1t is time Durango was
striving for a greater citizenship.

There is nothing new in the affair
OF the Colorado State bank excep
that Chairman Jackson Is receiving
signed agreements by every mail
probably $50 being on file favorini
the proposition to less than twent,
signing against it. This is positiv
proof that the depositors have faitl
in the committee and prefer to hav,
the assets Increased by the addition
of $4,000, making payment dollar 70
dollar assured, to long and costly lit
CATION which means loss on bot
sides. Most every depositor realize
that II this proposition is rejected
means thousands OF dollars OF tn
banks money going to lawyers and l
will be the depositors who will have I,
foot the bill with little show OF recoy
ering more than a pittance from stocl
suits.
And the attacks against the agree
meat are convincing many who di
not look with favor at first that ac
ceptance of the agreement is the onl
thing to do. The paid newspapers ar
OVERRIDING the proposition to ear
their money. The committee, how
ever, is anxious to have full an
free expression from depositors in oil
der that the matter may be presente
to the court at an early date
