DRAUGHT THAT SAVED A CITY
Well Does Rothenburq Commemorate
the Heroic Act of Its Self-Sacri-
ficing Burgomaster.

Il was back in the Thirty Years
war, 1t was in 1881, that the prin-
cipal event In the history of the city
took place. the principal event, in
the Judgment of every inhabitant. 1t
is annually commemorated by play,
a pageant, in which all that happened
In the course Of the great day-the
day of the Meister-trunk, the Master
Drinks represented by generals and
counselors, soldiers and people, cos
tuned in character, in the streets, in
the market place, in the rathhaus,
Robert Shackleton says, in Harper's.
For the ferocious Tilly captured
Rothenburg, and, enraged by his
losses, declared that the town should
be destroyed, the leading inhabitants
slain, and the rest turned over to the
soldiery. But women and children
walled lamentably as he rode to the
rathhaus, and clung to his stirrup
imploring mercy. And he flung them
mercy with contempt. LET the dogs
live" He said; 81 will be merciiul
None but the burgomaster and all
the counselors of the town shall die
He went into the great room of the
rathhaus and called for wine and a
frightened girl carried in a huge and
brimming goblet-a goblet so huge
that he burst into a great laugh
Am to drink this?" he said, holding
it up. And the grim humor seized
him IF any man of Rotber burg
will drink this at a single draught
will spare the city and spare every
life!"
There was great silence, and then
q former burgomaster, a certain Nuscb
his name is worthy of remem-
brance-stepped intrepidly forward
and took the goblet from Tilly's hand
He drank, and the silence deepened
as the foot of the goblet slowly rose
in the air. he drank and drank till
every drop was drained Then he fell
senseless to the floor.
Revive him!" said Tilly; and
Nusch came slowly back TO life.
Tilly was a good loser. You have
won" he said, admiringly. as the man
raised himself and looked around.
Whereat Rothenburg's hero could
only gasp ont with touch of good
old-fashioned hdmor even in such
presence:
II never could - save - another
town."

The cerem0ny vas performed by
Dr. ]. A. johnson of the First NJ.
E. church OF. Delta. using the beau
tiful ring ceremony of his church.
The bride was given away by her
father.
The home was beautifully deco
rated with smilax, red rsoes and
white carnations. Mrs. Walter Hill
man rendered Mendelsohn's we'd
ding march.
An elaborate seven-course we'd
ding breakfast was served at II: so.
The wedding presents were numer-
Gus and valuable, among them be-
ing articles of cut glass, silver, a
beautiful Brides Book and a thous-
and dollar dress to the bride from
her husband.
While only close friends of the
family were present, it is said that
the occasion was one of the prettiest
events of the season.
The happy couple left on the af-
ternoon train for Denver, Chicago

MAHER CITIZENS WANT
TO BE IN DELTA COUNTY
Will Ask Next Session of the Leg
isiature to Move MOntrose-
Delta County Line.

We understand that the people
of Maher, in the Crawford part of
the county, will petition the com
ing legislature to change the county
lines SO that they will be in Delta
county instead of Montrose, and
that our State Senator, Hon. Geo.
S'ephan, and our representative,
Hon. Z. c. Hawkins will do their ut
most to have the lines changed up
in that corner, according to the wish
of the petitioners.
There is every reason why this
should be done. These residents
are in little corner of Montrose
county all by themselves, and to
get to their county seat at present,
they must pass through Delta and
go on down to Montrose. Aside from
that Inconvenience and expense, the
Maher territory is naturally located
for part of Delta county.
The Crawford-Maher section is
one. but the present location of the
county line cuts this fine little sec
tion in two, leaving the Crawford
part, with its town of Crawford, in
Delta county. and the Maher terri
tory in the extreme corner of Mont
rose county, with its only outlet
through the entire length of this
county.
There seems no good reason why
this change should not be made, ant
The Independent hopes to see it
made by the incoming legislature.

A story was published at Grand
Junction Wednesday about someone's
presumably ranchmen, putting In =
dam at the Delta city reservoir, on
Grand mesa and posting a notice
thereon that anyone removing same
would be shot Immediately or
sooner-of the city sending up an
armed force who applied dynamite
to the dam, thus removing the OBJ
struction and restoring the city's
water supply.
All The Independent has been
able to find about the matter was
that some party. without authority
from the water commissioner, closed
the Dirty George headgate while the
city was running reservoir water.
and Dan Wagner, city water super
iDtendent. went up and opened it,
Dan says he only had his two arms

fact that Mr.. Killian, as he de-
Tended the forestry policy. was his

one rich, permanent beet growing
territory-a territory that will en-
large year by year as more land is
brought Under cultivation. The fact
remains that Delta will have beet
sugar factory in a year or two,
whether the Western Land and
Sugar company help to establish it OF
whether it be someone else. Matters
have gone far enough now to war
rant this statement.
In the matter of extending aid,
our people can do just SO much.
That much we believe they will do
willingly. No more can be expected
and no more should be asked. They
want as good and as fair a deal as
they can get and they don't want
any wrinkles in the paper the
agreement is written upon. They
want a beet sugar factory and we
believe the sentiment is tremendous
ly in favor of the Grand Junction
factory at Delta. II it can be secured.
Grand Jrnction papers Wednes-
day contained detailed accounts
of the proposition to move the beet
sugar factory from that city to
Delta, not only treating the mat
ter as news. but for editorial writ
Ing.
They deplore the prospect of los
ing the factory, but regard 1t much in
the light of thing settled. The
Sentinel said: There may be one
chance in a thousand that Grand
Junction will not lose the factory
which for years has proven one of
the city's greatest sources OF reven-
ue.''
The reason advanced is that the
Grand valley has given its entire
attention TO orchards and neglect
ed to raise beets, or even their
proportionate share. TO supply the
factory, and the wall goes Up that
they cannot expect to retain the fac
tory under those conditions, also
that the people down there have no.
one but themselves to blame.
All things considered. the peo-
pie up this way have some good
hard work to do. themselves, in
order to land the factory. We have
the feld to OFFER, but 1t requires
more than that. II requires willing
ness to aid to the utmost extent
possible. and q disposition to CO.
operate with the factory. whose sue
cess will also be their success. To
land a million dollar factory means
more than the mere taking over of
the Grand Junction plant IL means
its re-equipment to at least double
its present capacity and the construc-
ton OF immense new buildings to
house it-all of which would mean
big. steady payroll for the next
twelve months as a starter.
