1t will be disappointment to
great many people who were looking
forward with keen pleasure to the
performance, to learn that Manager
Edwin a. Haskell of the Park opera
house, this morning received mes
sage cancelling the engagement of
"A Message From Mars" the famous
comedy that was to have been seen
here next Friday night. The COM
pany suddenly changed its route
Secretary Mahoney, of the Cham
ber of Commerce, stated to The Sem
tinel this morning that one of the
most pitiful sights he had ever wit
messed was witnessed yesterday as he
returned to the city from Montrose
on the Rio Grande train. He states
that at several points along the Cum
nison fine looking steers and cows
were seen completely mired up in the
treacherous mud, sinking still deeper
as they struggled. Every one was in
hopeless condition and these poor
cattle remain mircd up in this man
ner until they die by slow degrees.
Scores of cattle perish in this horrible
manner every year along the Gun
nison. 1t does look as If such occur
rences could be preyented or at least
the number lessened Not only is II
cruel manner of death for the
stock but the carcasses sooner or
later get into the channel of the river
Secretary Mahoney some time ago
took the matter up with the state
board of health but so far has gotten
but little satisfaction.
Senator Horace I. DeLong, NJ. O..
Delaplain and Secretary Mahoney re-
turned home last night from Mon
trose where they attended the ban
quet held on Saturday evening for
the purpose of discussing and making
plans for the great Gunnison tunnel
opening this summer. There We're
about 40 guests at the banquet, vari-
Gus towns in the Gunnison and Mon
trose district being represented as
well as Grand Junction. There was
much enthusiasm at the meeting and
number of important plans were
completed. 1t was the opinion of all
present that the opening of the great
tunnel should be made one of the
greatest affairs in the history of the
state. The delegation from Grand
junction was given most cordial
welcome. The Grand Junction dele
gates assured the Montrose people
that this city expects to aid hcr sister
city in every way possible TO make
the tunnel opening a great success.
