A sugar beet contract Will be
presented to farmers in the Duran
go district this year which will be
new and novel and will no doubt
become known as the Durango plan,

for a flat rate of SIS ton and
then, after paying ten per cent on
the capital invested TO the factory Of
sugar company, the surplus is to be
divided equally between the farm
ers and the company. which by the
way does not belong to the trust.
The proposition is meeting with I'M
animous favor and there will be no
trouble on this basis of securing TO-
900 to 700 acres. with increased
acreage every year. II is believed
that by this method the farmers will
receive an average of $3.50 ton
for beets and the company will
make as much or more money than
under the old plans. because the
acreage will always be increasing
and heavy expense Of the sliding
scale reduced. Capital for building
a new factory is assured and agents
are out canvassing for acreage.

THE RED CANON GOLD STRIKE

Several persons returning from
the scene of the mineral discovery
at the mouth of Red canon bring
samples of ore which certainly look
good. There are good many pros
pectors on the ground busily ex-
plotting the indications and short
time will determine Just how valu-
able ore the find is. Present in
dications are very encouraging and
without doubt whatever of value
there is there will be uncovered.
Should the find prove to be as
valuable as present development in
dictates, it will mean much to this
part of the country. AS it is but
short distance beyond the end of
our proposed Red Canon railroad
and the gypsum and cement de-
posits. it would add a great deal to
the revenue of the road and the
road would afford transportation for
ores. AS soon as something really
tangible developes Chronicle will
give it the publicity it merits

citing depradations by the victim.
The man, a half breed, was brought
down in his tracks after he had Civ
en- a posse of Drayton citizens chase
of about mile, and just after he
had turned on his pursuers, his re-
volver in his hand, evidently prepar-
ed to fight.
Shot Three Times at Officer.
Three times Grumbo shot at Mar
shall Slater, each time missing him.
The third time when the officer or
dered him to hold up his hands and
surrender, Grumbo declared that he
wouldn't be taken alive.
That the breed meant to carry out
this threat, and that he was just
about to open a new fight on his pur-
suers, was his evident intention when
the bullet downed him.
Started by Beating Wife.
Grumbo, crazed with liquor, had
beaten his wife, driving her from

the home of her mother, Mrs. Louis
Grumbo, and was followed by her
drunken husband, aourishing a re-
volver and threatening to take the
life of his mother law and others
on the premises.
Officer Slater, who had been ap-
praised of the mans actions and of
the fact that he was armed. secured
rifle and went to the scene. AS
he came in sight. Grumbo started to
run from the home of Mrs. Grumbo's
neither, but he only went a few
yards when he turned, firing at the
official.
About 100 yards further on, Grumbo
turned again to fire, but again he shot
wild. and his third shot was fired
about three blocks from the place
where the chase was taken up.
AS the third shot was fired, Slater
ordered Grumbo to surrender. Grum-
bo's declaration that he would die first
was his reply to the command.
Grumbo took to his heels again, and
the chase was kept up for about a
mile into the country.
Turns on Pursuers,
Suddenly, Grumbo turned and start
ed back toward the party of pursuers,
carrying his revolver in his hand. He
was some distance away, and he could
not be heard very plainly, He was
again ordered to surrender, but re-
fused. replying with his same threat.
and the next moment, as he continued
his advance he was shot and killed.
There is some difference of opinion
as to what actually transpired at the
time of the shooting. Officer Slater
said that two or three shots were fired
at the time Grumbo was killed. Others
say only one shot was fired. 80
The bullet went through the main
artery leading from the heart, and
through the left lung. Death was al
most instantaneous
