Two informations have been filed
with the district attorney of this

If Williams will arrive in Delta
this evening with the prisoner. He
was arrested by the officres in Den

One of the informations just filed
against Heidinger charges him with
the statutory crime of seduction
under promise of marriage, and car
ries with 1t n penalty of ten years
in the state prison at Canon City
when guilt is proven.
The other charge is for perjury

of the charges are of an extremely
serious nature and there is promise
of sensational life record in the

This resolution was prompted by
the belief of the company members
that the supply of water without
the Taylor Park reservoir would be
sufficient, based upon government
statistics, and that the building of
the Taylor Park reservoir at a cost
of VI 100000 additional, would but
add so much to the acre cost of
water, which has already doubled
the first estimate of the govern

SATURDAYS MEETING OF
REPUBLICAN COMMITTEES,

Some sort of a committee meetin
was held at the court house last Sat
urday afternoon. in Grand juno
tion paper it is alleged TO have
| been a meeting of precinct commit
teemen of the Republican party of
Delta county. There was no notice
of the meeting beforehand and no
report has been offered to the In
dependent since.
1t is stated that eleven of the
members of the county committee
were present and that parties who
We're not members. along with mem
bers at hand, represented twenty
one of thirty-three committeeman
and held nine proxies.
The object of the meeting ap-
pears to have been TO ask for
a statewide presidential primary,
and If that were not granted, to ask
that Delta county hold her own
presidential primary, and resolu-
tions TO that effect were presented
by Merle ID. Vincent and carried
Under the ruling higher up, a
state may hold its own presidential
primary If it desires. A county pri-
mary would of course be a matter
whose expenses would have to be
bourne by the county or by the
party or parties holding it.
The state will be so full of poll
tics this year that it is doubtful
whether much more than the or
dinary straw vote, supplemented by
pleas, petitions and appeals, will
be placed upon the program.
A presidential primary. to be
held at all, would have to be held
early, as the candidates for presi-
dent will be nominated in June.
In September the regular primaries
must be held, provided by the new
law, which will supply enough com
plications to employ about all the
time for thought that the L. and
r. measures will leave
No one. however, can have any
serious objections to presidential
primary. and If the voters want
that much more on the bill. let
them have II.

ing of school district No l. held on
Monday of this week, Judge A. r.
King, who has been an active, en-
ergeic member of that body for
some years past. rendered his res
ignation. which was accepted. and
Judge C. H. Stewart has been ap-
pointed to fill the vacancy.
Judge King was compelled to give
up his place as a member of the
board because of his appointment
as a member of the court of appeals
of Colorado and enforced to reside
in Denver. Judge Stewart is alive
to the school interests of Delta coun-
ty and will unquestionably prove
himself valuable member of the
board.

UNCOMPAHGRE WATER USERS
ASSN. MET IN OLATHE

The meeting OF the Uncompah-
gre Water Users association at Ola
the Tuesday afternoon was pro-
nounced one of the most enthusi-
astic so far held, and good feeling
prevailed over the accomplishment
of work so far on the reclamation
project and the present prospect of
completion. Engineer Pease, in
charge of the reclamation service,
was present and made detailed
statements of all work accomplish
ed. of tho cost of all work up to
date. of the number of acres of land
water would be supplied to in total
and belonging to each county. and
discussed in brief plans for the flu
ture progress and completion of
the work. In his statement IL APP
pears that there will be about 49,
900 acres of desert land in Delta
county which will come under the
Gunnison tunnel for water. out of
a total of some 10000 acres which
the project is to irrigate. The state
ment of Engineer Pease shows that
tho acre cost of water to date is
about $33. The completion of the
work will bring the acreage cost
up to $50 per acre. limiting the cost
OF the Taylor Park reservoir. the
estimate being that about 60 per
cent OF the cost of the completed
project has been attained.

Here on Monday to Take
Little Tot to Coast.

III go anywhere you say, I'll
do anything; Yes I'd beg or Id

the words of Mrs. Ruth Will, be-
tween sobs, as she faced Mrs. Eliza
beth Fay, travelling agent for the
state board of charities and correc-
tions of California. in offices of the
district attorney Monday, but the
elderly lady could not consent to
leaving the child here, for she was
acting under express instructions of
the California board, and must de-
liver the little one to headquarters
in that state.
The young woman whose heart
was given to this wee girl but two
years of age, some months ago in
California, is Mrs Ruth Will, whose
parents reside on Paynes mesa near
Welcome, and the child was with
Mrs. Willis parnets when the Cal
ifornia agent located the woman for
whom she had made the search.
At d6tuA VAnAb4Ncu d44 necessary
credentials to show her authority
in the matter and after all of Mrs
Willis persuasive promises had
been exerted without avail, it was
agreed that an automobile drive be
made to the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Clark Monday afternoon, and the
little girl was turned over to the
California woman that evening and
was soon on the way to the big
coast state. Mr. and Mrs. Clark
were led to believe that they were
tic real grandparents of little
Mildred Waters, and the whole af-
fair was not little surprising to
them. They too had learned to
love the bright eyed babe and were
! 10th to part with it.
| Mrs. Will and her husband. c.
Will, a railroad man on one of
the Western roads, resided in CAL
ifornia Ior some months and it was
during their residence there that
the idea was conceived of adopting
a child for whom a home was then
sought by the board of charities
and corrections. The little one
was given into Mr.. and Mrs. Will
lis care and probation and if their
direction proved entirely satisfac-
tory TO all concerned, adoption was
to follow.
MIR. and Mrs. Will became sep
arated in California a few months
ago and the latter thereupon came
on to Delta with the baby and has
resided here ever since, having
rooms above the Racket store on
Main street. The state board in
California, learning of the separation,
of Mr.. and Mrs. Will and of the
latter leaving that state with the
child, which was contrary to in
structions, and they proceeded to
locate her and perfect the recovery

parted for some point in Arizona,
where she expects TO reside. She
was making arrangements for an
action in divorce when the chari-
ties and corrections agent appear
