BODY IS FOUND
IN RIVER TODAY
After Search Had Been Practically
Abandoned. the Body OF Warren
Travis Found in Gunnison.
BOY WAS DROWNED ON JUNE 1s

After being in the waters of the
Uncompahgre and Gunnison rivers
for nearly 80 days. and after scores
of men had searched and searched in
vain, the body of Warren Travis,
aged l 2 years, the son of ]. j. Travis,
a prominent real estate man of Del
Ia, was recovered this morning from
the Gunnison river at point on n
ranch near Roudideau switch, about
10 miles from Delta.
The body of the boy was seen float
ing in the river by ranchman who
succeeded in recovering it.
The authorities at Delta were no
tilted and the body will be taken to
Delta this afternoon. 1t is naturally
in a very bad condition, owing to the
excessively hot weather and the fact
that it had been floating in the water
for SO many days.
A reward of 500 has been stand
ing for weeks being offered by the
father for the recovery of the body.
Warren Travis was drowned on the
afternoon of June is; therefore. the
body has been in the waters nearly
80 days. The old theory that after
days the body comes to the surface
and few days later sinks again was
not true in this case.
Two men made two round trips
from Delta to Grand Junction in a
row-boat seeking the body of the boy,
but they never saw the body. In fact,
as far as can be learned. the body was
never seen by anyone uf.til seen to-
day by the ranchman who recovered
it and who will get the reward.
All up and down the Gunnison riy-
er and along the Grand from this city
down to Fruita men have watched
for the body of this boy.
The body of DR.. w. j. Fairfield. the
Delta physician. who was drowned
more than two weeks ago, has never
been recovered or seen.

The ten-mile race. which was TO
have been held at Grand Junction

next Saturday night. Unavailing eff
forts were made yesterday to have
the race transferred to Denver.
The class of runners in this race
has never been equaled in a similar
event in the West and western slope
sportsmen are highly Interested The
most noted entry is Saul Halyve,
twice winner of the Rocky Mountain
Marathon in this city. Don. who ran
second in the first Marathon here,
and third in the other, is another
entry. Shovelton, Colorado cham
pion at five and ten miles: Ted John
son, winner of the Salt Lake Mara
thon, Robert MalboD, who is consid-
cred by good judges to be as good a
runner at ten miles as Shovelton, are
the other entries.
Considerable interest has been
in the race in all parts of
the state and it promises to draw an
even larger crowd than either the two
big Marat thon races held in this city.
