A Valuable Government Aid to Coco

There is now available in the Unit
ed States treasury, according TO word
received by the state highway commits
sion. the sum OF 1925, 200 for Colorado
to be used in improving roads over
which rural free delivery is conducted
There are about 5000 miles OF rural
route roads to share in this S32o,0Ol
appropriation IN Cois ado, which, II
equally divided, woa.'. give about 'o1
to the mile, but, as the fund will ,i
course be expended for general re-
pairs and improvements of such high
ways, it will be used, as required. at
the places most needing ii. and under
specific government directions.
A certain amount of roads in each
county will of course come in for a
share of this fund
Delta county has more than $50
miles of rural mail routes and this
should entitle her. upon an equible di-
vision of the fund, TO about $4,000 for
mail route road repairs and improve
ments.
Such an amount would help out the
good roads campaign materially.

BADLY
TEAM RAN AWAY AND WAGON
OVERTURNED NEAR UNcoM
PAHGRE BRIDGE.
DRIVER FOUND BY ROADSIDE
WAS IN SEMl-CONSCIOUS cONCi-
TIoN AND COULDN'T TELL
OF THE ACCIDENT.

S. B. McCane who resides with his
family at 216 East Third Street, met
with an accident at about noon last
Friday which might easily have cost
him his life and as it is he will doubt
less be laid up for some weeks
McCane drove a spirited young
team out in the country Friday morn
ing after a load of farm produce
and when nearing town on California
mesa the team took fright at some
object and entered upon a mad race
which could not be checked. When
nearing the Uncompahgre bridge at
the brick and tile plant the light
spring wagon overturned and McCane
was thrown to the ground with great
force.
One or more residents of that dis
trict saw the accident and hastened
to the scene TO lend all assistance
possible. McCane was picked up in
a dazed condition and conveyed to
his home where medical examination
revealed his injuries to be severe
scalp wounds near the forehead. Sc
we're body bruises and a sprained
wrist
The injured man seemed to know
nothing of the accident for even after
his wounds had been properly treated
and everything done to assure com
fort he could tell nothing of the affair
Even the next day. he would arouse
from few moments sleep and in
quire where he was and how he came
to be there. His attendants would
ask if he didn't know that he had a
runaway and was thrown out, but
these affairs were all a mystery TO
him. Fears were therefore enter
tanned OF a mild fracture of the skull
but it is now thought that these fears
will prove unfounded.
Mr. McCane is said to be about
sixty years of age and the injury sus-
tanned is more detrimental than TO
younger persons. The team driven
by him that day is reported to have
run away on former occasions and
he has been advised to give them up
but being good horseman. he hopes
