Horse DEALING.

Two or there generations ago DR..
Samuel Reed was one of the prominent
physicians of Boston. His large prac-
tice included many patients outside of
the city limits, and these he visited in
hiS buggy.
One day he bought d new horse, with
which he was much pleased until he
discovered that the animal had an in
surrnountable objection to bridges of
all kinds and could not be made to
cross one
AS at tnis time it was necessary to
cross some bridges in order to reach
any one OF the surrounding towns the
doctor decided to sell the horse He
did not think it necessary to mention
the animals popularity but was much
too honest to misrepresent him and,
after some thought, produced the fol-
lowing advertisement, which he in
serted in a local paper:
For .Sale-A bay horse, warranted
sound and kind. The only reason for
selling is because the owner is obliged
to leave Observation-Disclosures

CATARRh MADE LIFE

MISS ANNIE CATRoN, es7 Main
AvA ST., Cincinnati, Ohio, writes:
Gas have found Peruna a blessing
for a severe case of catarrh of the head
and throat which suffered from for a
number of years, am only too pleased
to give it my personal endorsement.
''Catarrh, such as l suffered from,
made life a burden to me, my breath
was offensive, stomach bad, and my

troubled with headache, and although
l tried many so-called remedies, moth
ing gave me permanent relief. I was
rather discouraged with all medicines
when Peruna was suggested to me-
However, did buy bottle, and be-
fore that was finished there was a
marked change in my condition. Much
encouraged l kept on until was COM
piefeIy cured in months time, and I
find that my general health is also ex-

Death Of Find
ley Duheld.

Mr. Findley Duffield died at his
residence corner of Sixth and Dodge
streets. Monday evening June 22nd, at
7:3O O'Clock of appendicitis, having
been i'll with the disease just one week.
His age was SO years.
Mr.. Duffield was taken sick on the
Monday evening a week previous to
his death. 1t was thought for several
days that he could recover without an
operation, but on Friday last his
condition was such that it was thought
an operation would be necessary and
DR.. Freeman was sent for to Denver.
He arrived Saturday afternoon but at
this time Mr.. Duffield's condition still
appeared favorable and the operation
was postponed until Sunday morning
Saturday night, however. he became
much worse. Sunday forenoon he was
operated on. passing through the opera
tion in very good shape and appearing
to rest well throughout Sunday. Mon
day, however, his weakened condition
became fully apparent and by noon his
phg oiSiaiis had kNch oP hopS aiiat he
would be able to rally This proved
true and Mr.. Duffield passed from life
at the close of the day.
His body was taken to Bloomfield.
Iowa. by Mrs. Duffield. his old home,
for burial. On the trip Mr.. N. II.
Castle. and Mrs. Castle accompanied
Mrs. Duffield as far as Denver. There
her brother went with her to Iowa.
In the death of Mr.. Dufiield Delta
looses one of its most energetic citizens.
Previous to last September he was
publisher of the INDEPENDENT. Early
this spring he became connected with
the Laborer. soon afterwards changed
to the Tribune. He was a vigorous
writer and booster, thoroughly in touch
with his work and with n faith in his
surroundings which brooked of no
counter opinion, and in which he was
as ready to take chance as any whom
he invited to do so, being fully con-
vinced of the merits of Delta county
resources as well as those of the West
ern Slope.
In business matters Mr.. Duffield was
shrewd and far seeing. He was use
full citizen. such as no locality could
afford to lose.

Fire at Montrose.

Our neighboring town of Montrose
suffered disasterous fire Monday
afternoon. The fire started in the

spreading from that to the lumber yard
of the Gibson Lumber company, burn
ing the water tank Of the d. 4 r. G.
and giving the station buildings of the
railroad company as we'll as the yards
Of the Independent Lumber Co., and
the entire business portion of the town
narrow escape. The losses are esti-
mated from $50, 900 to $40, 900 with one
third to one-haif covered by insurance.
The Fruit Association estimates its loss
at $50, 900 and the Gibson Lumber Co..
at about $4,000. There was high
wind end it was with great difficulty
that the fire was gotten under control.

TO Call Election on
County Bonds.

At the July meeting of the Delta
county commissioners which convene $
July 9th. the commissioners will, we
understand, call the election to vote on
county bonds. which bonds will be voted
on at the general election in November.
The reason the matter is required to be
taken up at the July session is because
the October session would be too late
to attend to it in time for the proper
period of advertising. No announce
ment or decision concerning the amount
of bonds to be voted, has yet been made
or determined upon. The purpose of
the bond issue is to supply funds with
which to build bridges petitioned for,
and for county road improvements.
That both are needed is well under
stood and it is probable that fair and
conservative bond issue for the purposes
will carry. 1t appears to be the one
means Of securing these improvements
so much needed, and the advance il
willgive to property over the county, as
well rs the convenience and help af-
forded to crop growers in marketing,
is an argument well worth carefully
considering. The voters of the county
will have plenty of time to dispassion-
ately discuss the proposition and this,
they should do.

usual good work, getting the blaze
quickly under control and saving near

Mr.. Cooks handsome dwelling, stu
ated but few feet from the barn. In
