Voter" Calls Attention.

Editor Herald DO the citizens
of the town of Farmyille remember
the night of the 18TH of May.
1909. when there was a meeting Of
the town council and citizens held
i'm The court house to discuss the
granting OF the telephone franchise.
.OD q al memorable night present at
the meeting were the following mem
beers Of the council. w. VI. Duvall,

on a vote of 5 to 3. The motion
being opposed by Davidson, ellis and
Fallwell. The results of the secret
session were soon known. and the
town thrown into a turmoil. The
new telephone Co.. had offered for
franchise $1,000 and the old COM
pany for $1,000. and the S1190 lost
TO the town treasury forever. The
gentlemen voting to give this fran
chise to the old company for $1,000
were w. NJ. Duvall. +. l.. Erambert.
II. +. Barrow. John r. Martin. Wal
ker Scott. For what reason this was
done has never been satisfactorily
explained TO the public. and no one
but the five gentlemen are wise. A
short time afterwards the old com
pany sold out to the new company
for $500. DO we. as citizens of
the town want these gentlemen on
our town council. and especially so
while this $l19O was lost to the
town. and they have had to borrow
money since TO meet the current ex-
penses. We have it in our hands to
elect another council on the 4th Of
April, and let the citizens Of the
town go To- the polls and show by
their votes that they do not approve
of such dispositions of the towns
funds.
In conclusion let me ask do any

nouncement in the Daily Sentinel
that Engineer Thomas Layden
had been fatally injured in
peculiar accident while in charge
OF IA passenger engine on the
North Fork branch.
The injuries proved fatal. The
pioneer railroad man is dead He
died yesterday afternoon in the rail-
road hospital in Salida, twenty-four
hours after the accident occurred.
The funeral arrangements are not
known as this time.
The Sentinel has secured the ac-
curate details of the horrible accident
which deprived Engineer Tom" of
his life.
II seems that 1t was a mixed pas
senger and freight train running out
of the coal mining camp of Somerset,
on the North FORK division. The
train had stopped at the little station
of Bowie. 1t Is reported that one or
more of the wheels of the engine had
left the rails. Engineer Layden and
his fireman had placed rerailing frogs
under the wheels. The two men
climbed into the cab and Engineer
Layden opened the throttle but the
Quickly throwing on the air brokes
Engineer Layden left the throttle
open, either naturally believing that
the air brakes would hold the engine
still or else forgetting to push back
the throttle. Engineer Layden got
down and crawled under the engine
to replace the frogs under the wheels.
While he was under there and after
he got the frogs placed the engine
suddenly began to move and Engineer
Layden was horribly injured before
his fireman could stop the engine. In
all probability the "air had leaked"
and thus permitted the engine to
start and as the throttle was open
there WAS a full head of steam on"
II was fearful accident and Layden
" as taken from under the wheels in a
dying condition. lie was taken to
Delta and then rushed to the hospital
at Salida.
As stated by The Sentinel yesterday
Engineer Layden is survived by his
wife and seven children. He was
about 60 years of age He was one
of the pioneer engineers of western
Colorado. He ran engines out of
Grand Junction when only the mar
row gauge road was In operation.
For several years he has lived at
Delta. He was warm hearted,
genial. straightforward man and ev-
erybody who knew him thought well
of Tom Layden.
Engineer Layden owned consider

ARGUMENTS
ARE UNDER WAY

Practically all OF the forenoon
of today was occupied by At
tOrncy John ii. Fry in arguing
the defendants' side of the locally
celebrated case in which the
Orchard Mesa Irrigation District
Is the plaintiff and William
White and other well known land
owners of the upper end of this
valley are the defendants.
The Orchard Mesa district is
seeking to get rights of way
through orchard lands owned by
these men and are naturally
seeking to secure the same at as
small cost as possible.
Attorneys Fry argument was a
most forceful, comprehensive and
logical one. His argument was not
completed until some time after the
afternoon session was opened.
Attorney s. NJ. Logan followed for
the plaintiff and his argument was
also very vigorous one. He was
arguing at the time The Sentinel
went to press.
Attorney Miller will probably argue
in behalf of the plaintiff and then
Judge A. r. King, of Delta, will close
the argument for the defendants.
The arguments will not be COM
pleted until late this evening. The
three referees will then take the case
under advisement and render a de.
cision, fixing the amount of damages
etc, in about thirty days.
The case has proven one of the
hardest fought lltigations over rights
of way and damages that was ever
tried in this county before a board OF
referees or commissioners.
