to the board stating that ne notiheo
the police station Of the robbery at .
O'Clock the next morning, but no ihVes-
tigation was made until the following

the fircmen's parade took place on the
night of the robbery, and that ne ana
the members OF the force were Kept
busv The chief further said the officer

signed his position on the force, ap..
peared before the board and rendered
his resignation verbally. He expressed
his confidence in Chief Goods, but said

hot for him to remain member OF the
force.
Chief Goods was asked what record
he had of money and valuables taken
from intoxicated men who are locked
up in the station house. The chief re-
piled that such property was placed IN

in the presence OF two officers, or an
officer and witness, and that the
names OF both be written across the
flap of the envelope where 1T IS

Elections on any one, but asserted that

urday.

and all the commissioners except Mr..

German Socialists.

Magdeburg, Germany, Sept. O.
The threatened split in the German
sociali.t party was prevented today by
the return Of the moderates, who quit
the convention yesterday when q reso-
luton was adopted by an overwhelming
vote denouncing the Wurten,berg
socialists for supporting the budget. The
moderates put party success above
factional interest and decided that it
would be unwise TO divide the party on
the eve of the 1911 elections. Both
August BebeI and H. Franck, leaders
respectively OF the radicals and mode
rates, expressed the fear that final
split is inevitable.

necessary stock 10 build a factory,
but that Delta people must do their
part In raising the other 100000

ness, was whether or not Mr.. Tay-
lor should be employed for another
year as secretary of the Associa-

tions made for appropriations to

County Is Entitled to Trout.

Annually Delta county has been
entitled to 100. 900 young trout to
plant in its waters.
These trout are delivered from
Leadville, having been Matched from
spawn taken from the Grand mesa
lakes 1t is stated that the assign
nIent for this season is ready, or
about ready for delivery.
Heretofore the trout have been
dumped into unlikely places, or in
to streams unsuited.
1t has been suggested that they
be taken up Tongue Creek or Sur
face Creek, as the most logical fish
ing places in the county. Tongue
Creek is particularly suitable, hav-
ing brushy banks for long stretches
and fine protection against being
too closely fished out.
1t is also suggested that some
work could be done on the road up
Tongue Creek to everybody's adyan-
tage and satisfaction.
Delta county has never looked
very closely after the fishing privi-
leges or paid much attention to II
ture trout supplies, and this should
he done, as they will become more
and more a valuable asset.

The day was a most ideal one,
clear and sunny. and the night of
the 18th was one of the loveliest
ever witnessed. The moon smiled
and the stars twinkled steadily in
their setting of blue sky. There was
not even any electrical disturbance
or meteoric evidence here observ-
able.
There had been kindled in some
unaccountable way, fear of the
comet among superstitious weak
lings
