Death Under the Train

John Mcintyre, a young stockman
from near Montrose, fell under the
traih at Delta station Tuesday after
noon and was horribly lacerated, hav-
ing both legs cut off, one near the thigh
and the other above the ankle. He
was brought to the office of DIR. Hick,
where, assisted by Drs. Burgin and
Burgess, he removed one of the crushed
legs. The shock of the accident was so
great, however. that the injured man
could not survive, and death relieved
him within two hours after the acci-
dent occurred.
An uncle, Dan Mcintyre, was tele-
graphed at Montrose and came in an
automobile, making the % miles in 40
minutes.
The body was taken to Olathe
Wednesday, for burial.
A coroners jury was empaneled at
Delta Wednesday, composed of George
Whitelaw, George Deter, j. E. Shue,
H. H. Whipple, j. A. Hearst and Geo.
w. Moody. Their verdict was accord
ing to the facts of the evidence heard,
exonerating the railroad company and
its employees from all blame, the evil
dence showing that deceased at the
time of the accident was under the
influence of liquor and in his unste ady
condition bad fallen from the platform
under the train as it was starting.
The accident and its fatal result are
deplorable in the extreme. Young Nc
Intyre was well known among the
stockmen of both Delta and Montrose
counties.

Fruit Not Everything.

While fruit has been and is yet re-
garded as the great drawing card for
these valleys, their success or failure
does not depend upon 1t by any means.
Fruit is our golden harvest, yet aside
from it we raise the best Of sugar beet
crops, the finest of potatoes, the great
est of vegetable and melon crops, the
biggest oats, the fattest of stock and
the heaviest yield of alfalfa. Even
without our fruit luxuries we are miles
ahead in production of proft-yielding
crops. of the average richest agricul.
tural sections.

Business Men
Association Meets
Fine Acknowledgements
ker---Speeches---Many Visitors.

The Business Mems Association
meeting Monday night was fully up to
the average in interest, the attendance
fairly filling Odd Fellows Hall.
The banquet was served by the Royal
Neighbors and did full credit to the
ladies in charge.
A smoker followed, then the routine
business of the association was trans
acted.
The first speaker was Hon. Ed. Tay-
lor of Glenwood Springs, who unbur-
dened himself of fund of humor and
story, paying between stories glowing
tribute to Delta and Delta county.
Senator Taylor was followed by
Banker Parks of Glenwood, who spoke
at some length on the advantages to be
derived by completing the short line of
railroad between Somerset and Marble,
advantages which he held would be be-
ysnd compute to both Delta county and
Glenwood Springs. Mr.. Parks an
nounced that while they could impart
no positive information just now, they
expected to be able to do 80 at no far
distant period; that they were anxious
to cooperate with Delta county to push
the building of this little stretch of
track which would save Delta county
SO much in freight and passenger
travel; that they would do so to the
extent of their influence and what
money they could contribute. His
speech was well received and at its
close enthusiastically applauded.
The association was then addressed
by Hon. M. d. Vincent, President EN-
ory Of the Paonia Commercial Associa-
ton and MIR. Roberts, chairman of
their committee to gather fruit and
other crop statistics. All these gentle
men spoke glowingly of the good feel
ing existing between Delta and Paonia,
which they were anxious TO cultivate
and increase. They were exceedingly
anxious that the short line railroad
should be built; would assist in any
way in their power to urge its con-
struction. Their committee was busy
gathering accurate estimate OF pros
pective fruit and other crop products
for this season, to be presented to the
railroad officials with a request that
cars might be provided for shipment
when needed. This work, it was sug-
gested, should be taken up all over the
county.
Mr.. Starr Nelson, of the ID. & X. G.
service, spoke on the subject Of the
railroads equipment, deploring the
fact that motive power might be lack
ing with which to move the seasons
crop, should it be as large as expected.
Judge King thought the railroad, If
present conditions prevailed. might
have plenty Of cars and would doubt
less in its own interest, make all possi-
BILE effort to handle the crop.
Porter Plumb made a short address
commencing measures already pro-
posed.
Among visitors from the Paonia
Commercial Association were Mr.. L. j.
Mathews, A. J. Castel and Mr.. Curtis.
The best of feeling prevailed through
out the meeting. All felt that it was
good TO be present at such meeting
and the statement by one Of the speak
ers that such associations by the mere
fact Of their existence, did more than
anything else TO make towns and coun-
try move forward, was hailed with en-
tht,sinstic applause

Fighting Eormosan Tribes.

Several weeks ago ten communities
Of the Nan-ow aboriginal tribe in the
Giran province of Formosa proposed
10 the government to submit. Upon
this the government gave them the
following terms of conditions under
which the government was disposed
to admit their submission:
|. The aborigines concerned
should hand over to the government
those skulls which had been cut off
the bodies of the other tribes whom
they killed and are keeping in their
houses according to their habits.
2. Their arms and ammunition
should all be a surrendered to the
government. pJ'
The aborigines agreed to the form
er condition, but many of them OBJ
jected to the later. and thereupon
they gave up the idea OF submission.
Since then they are again offering re-
sistance against the government
troops, appearing here and there in
the vicinity OF the Aiyu line "a guard
line established by the government
against the unsubjugated abprigines)
hut the government troops having
finished the e construction !of their
guard houses, telephone lines and
