MANY MEXICANS GIVEN SCARE
BY WEST SLOPE OFFICERS.
Crowded Out Last Week.

The Mexican on this slope who

the trail of the murderer. which in
color to assume a lighter tint and
the victim to heave a sigh of relief
when he had been thoroughly in
vestigated and then released.
One of these instances was when
Undersheriff Baxter of Montrose lev
eled his gun on suspect and order
ed him to throw up his hands. The
Mexican was in an arroyo near that
city when caught and as he faced
the shining barrel of the gun his
fright was most complete. He threw
up his hands as ordered and was
even ready TO reach higher, IL pos
sible.
The man was acting in suspic-
ious manner in the vicinity of the
Austin ranch when Mr.. Austin tele-
phoned the officials, thinking it pos
sible that he. was the man wanted.
When Mr.. Baxter put in his appear
ance the Mexican tried to hide but
was soon found in the arroyo.
The Grand Junction News tells
of another arrest as follows:
Twisted out of culvert as one

mas, n Mexican, was taken into Gus

miles west of Fruita, after an eXcit-
ing chase in which Sheriff Schrader
and Under Sheriff Steve Nichols par

to be the murderer of Bruce Doyle

in cold blood at his ranch Tuesday.

If Williams OF Delta county. came

This letter will doubtless ease
the minds of those who have been
really opposed to Mr.. Guggenheim,
and will also take from his polite
al enemies in other parties the harp
upon which they have so discord-
antly played for political effect
Whatever has or may be said for
or against MIR. Guggenheim, the fact
will go down in history that he
has served the people of this state,
earnestly, honestly and well. which
is much more than can be said OF
the average servant of the people.
His declining to again be a can
didate seems ouly consistent with his
characteristic good sense and sound
judgement.
He has served with entire salts
faction in one of his country $ high
est and most dignified positions
which is quite sufficient TO crafty
the political ambition OF even the
average great man. From his friends
he has won praise; from his oppo-
nents tacit admission of hvaing been
faithful both to his party and state
and to have rendered to each good
service-a browning glory to any
mans life.
