sively.
What chance have Ballot Colin, Fair

horses, shipped recently, in the English
stakes"
Il couldn't say. 1t depends on how

Are there any Derby candidates

early favorably spoken OF as probable
winners of the rich classic"
Il haven't heard of any; l have
none"
He Declined the Issue.
He was reminded of the fact that
MeSsrs. keene and Madden have sew
eral likely Derby and Oaks candidates
which. from an American viewpoint,
had n chance in the blue ribbon events
Of the English turf, but he declined to
discuss their chances.
Mr.. Croker was then asked If he had
been correctly quoted in a recent inter-
view on the other side in which he was
credited with saving he was in favor
of racing. bctti'2. baseball and a liberal
application OF the laws. He sidestepped
again by saying he hadn't seen the in

One of our bachelor friends has left
for the summer and there is speculation
as to whether he will return alone or
not.
The States and Kiser orchards are
blooming nicely since the freeze, so if
nothing happens them we will have a
full crop of some fruits and partial
crop of others. So much for being a
little higher up.
Mr.. Anson Boggs got up big dinner
Sunday and invited in neighbors, but
the day was so stormy that many could
not go. Those who did had their
appetites with them and greatly en-
joyed the good things prepared.
The States family were entertaining
some old friends one evening few
days ago, enjoying a very pleasant
evening with music and conversation.
One of the party was naarating how he
had that day discovered a lone grave
on Red Hill and wondered if it was the
grave of white man or of an indian.
He was told that it was not wise to
puzzle over so grave" matter or
something might appear to haunt him.
Just then we were surprised to see
Elder States, clothed in his night robe,
walk in. 1t was the first time he had
been up to walk, since his long and
severe illness, and as soon as 1t was
discovered that he was not real ghost,
all bid him enthusiastic welcome and
loaded him with congratulations.

Checked As Baggage.

A man claiming to be one of family
who came to Delta county from Denver
to work this summer. arrived at Hotch-
kiss and then concluded to go back to
Denver, had himself checked back in a
canvas trunk, Monday morning. The
trunk passed the transfer all right at
Delta but after leaving Montrose it
was slowed back in a corner and other
baggage piled upon it until its occu-
pant became SO oppressed that he was
obliged to call for help. This he did
and his trunk was finally hauled out,
opened and a rescue effected. Holes
had been bored in one end of the trunk
to give him air, but sack had been
thrown over it in such a manner as to
close the holes and the occupant was
about to suffocate. The man in the
trunk was barefoot, but his brother
and his wife in the coach were hunted
up and his shoes regained. At the next
station he got off and bought ticket
to Denver. The whole matter seems
to have been a money saving PROPOSE
tion, and the brother, after the discoy-
cry was made, made request that the
excess baggage he had been made to
pay on the trunk, be refunded. He was
referred to General Baggage Agent
Lee, at Denver, but it is said did not
appear to press his claim.
