In a recent letter received in
this city from California. it is re-
ported that William Silsby, for
mer well known and highly respect
ed resident of Delta, died at his
home in Whittier, California, last
week.
MIR. Silsby was in poor health whe n
leaving Delta about three years ago,
and it was the hope of himself and
family and friends that he might
find the change of climate and al
titude beneficial, but these hopes
were in vain.

PRESIDENT FIRST NATIONAL
Is HOME FROM EUROPE.

DIR. A. II. Stockham, president of
the First National bank of Delta,
arrived home on the belated train
last Thursday evening from an eN-
tended tour of European coun-
tries. and reports the trip as one
of the events of his life.
DR.. Stockham left Delta about tive
and half months ago, and after
visiting briefly with relatives and
friends in Ohio, he took passage
from New York for London. England
where he enjoyed seeing the sights
of the greatest European city for
several days. He then visited other
cities of England, as well as the
important cities and noted points of
Germany and France.
The ocean voyage, he says, was
made both going and coming in
good time and there was not sim
gle incident to mar the pleasure of

FRUIT AND POTATOES
BEGIN TO MOVE OUT
POTATOES ARE EXTRA QUALITY.
First Car of Apples Billed Out This
Week, For Houston, Texas
Over a Half-Hundred Cars
of Potatoes Have Gone.

There's good demand in all
parts of Colorado, to say nothing
of the East, for our early potatoes, .
remarked the local manager of a
certain produce association Wednes-
day of this week, ''and We expect
to have no trouble whatever in mar
keting every pound of Delta's big
crop this year"
Teams were kept busy most of the
present week hauling spuds from
the fields and loading them into the
cars, and it has been estimated that
two trainloads have already gone to
Denver and other parts of the state.
The Gibson Fruit and Prod uce
company is buyirg for cash in this
territory, and this company alone
has sent out thirty-five cars of
tubers this week.
A. w. Jarrett, local manager
for this company, states that they
are of a superior quality and will
command attention in any market.
Other companies of the city have
also loaded fifteen or twenty cars
this week, so that the total num-
ber can easily be reckoned at from
fifty to sixty cars.
The Gibson company has also en-
listed in the fruit business here this
season for the first time and sew
eral carloads OF the early varieties
of fruit have been bought for cash
and placed in the markets.
The first car of apples was ship
ped on Wednesday, to Houston,
Texas, and another is to go out to-
day. These apples are mostly of the
Transparent variety, and brought
65 cents box. All the fruit COM
panies are making preparations for
the later and more substantial va
rieties of apples and peaches. and
all will do their part in getting the
monster crops of this section into
the markets of the world.

HOBOES ARE THICK; SHOULD
BE KEPT OUT OF THE CITY

Grand Junction has issued a
warning to hoboes to the effect
that their presence is not wanted
within the city limits. This action
arose from the various crimes that
have been recently committed there
by the undesirable floaters. While
we do not have SO many of these
tough characters in Dleta. due prin-
cipally TO the fact that we are off
the main line. we are getting more
hoboes than We need. and 1t might
be well. before any murders or rob
berries are committed, to consider
the matter and put a stop to them
coming here. Grand Junction is sorry
she did not head them off before
so much damage was done at their
hands.

SHIPPED 30 CARS OF CATTLE
no THE EASTERN MARKETS.

One of the biggest cattle ship
ments from the Western Slope dis
triot for some months past was
made by Messrs. Robert Adams and
Bart Owens last Friday.
This shipment consisted OF thirty
cars of fine grass fed steers and
were billed for the markets in Kan
sas City. from Mack. the loading
station. Adams and Owens are we'll
known cattlemen CT this district and
they make frequent shipments to
eastern markets but this was one
OF the largest ever made by them

TWO COMPANIES ARE NOW
UNDER ONE MANAGEMENT

The farmer and fruit grower who
has telephone in his home, even
though he may live fifty or a hun
dred miles from a telegraph station,
can get a message to the outside
world just as accurately, cheaply
and quickly just now. as can the
business man who lives in the city.
AS is doubtless generally known
to residents of this city. the Noun
tain States Telephone company and
the Western Union Telegraph COM
fany began operations together Il
short time ago and both companies
are now occupying the same office
quarters in this city and in other
parts of the district as well. Both
companies have had local managers
however, until this week, when a
representative of the Telephone Co.
came in from Denver and installed
John w. Ballard, for some time
past local manager for the tele-
phone company. as local manager
for both. Mrs. NJ. F. Keen having
resigned her position as manager
for the Western Union.
Mrs. Lucille Wilson of Canon
City has succeeded Mrs. Keen as
operator.
The two companies will make
an effort to have the service in the
future as complete as possible.

enough to allow the bodies of the
two men to pass through. had been
cut in the east wall of the Jail. and
the only tools used in the work. a
common table knife and fork, were
picked up near the aperture on the
inside of the building.
The walls of the Jail are Of
brick, plastered on the inside, and
IL is said that the delivery was no
very difficult performance. Under
sheriff Adam Wishart was at the
Jail at about o'clock the previous
evening and says there was no
sound OF any kind at that time to
indicate that an opening was be
ing provided Other persons passed
the Jail at much later hour, and
they. too. were positive that no
work was under way then. II Is
generally conceded by officers about
the court house that the escape
was perfected between the hours of
2 and o'clock: that the removal
OF brick could have been made in an
hour and half or two hours time
and with but little noise. All nee
essary in the operation was the re-
movai of a little plaster on the i'm
side. which would exrose mortar lines
between the brick. and then cut out
that mortar and remove the brtck.
Officers are making every effort
to get on the trail OF the fleeing
duo but up to the present time IT
is said that they have been unable
to get satisfactory clues.
McCuilom is the man wanted on
an embezzlement charge in San

THROWN FROM BICYCLE
INTO BARBEO WIRE FENCE
Father and Daughter Plunge into
Barbed Fence When Brake
Becomes. Impaired.

]. w. Wyans and his little daugh-
Sunday forenoon when coming down
the heavy grade leading to Garnet
mesa at the north edge of town.
Mr.. Wyans had taken the child
out for ride on his bicycle to the
home of some friend Of the family
on the mesa that morning, a tenn
porary seat being furnished the
girl in front of the permanent sad
die which was occupied by Mr.. Wy
ans. The journey out was made
without incident and the wheel was
considered in perfect condition un-
til a greater test was afforded, and
this test came when they were com
ing down the heavy grade above
mentioned.
The brake was found to be almost
entirely out of commission, and,
with the little girl in front and
an alarming rate of speed acquired,
Wyans could not conceive of a plan
tc dismount successfully with his
charge. He applied all possible force
to the deficient brake and caused
another fracture to that very es-
sential part of the machine on a
fast track. Then the only plan, he
thought, was to steer off to one
side of the road and attempt to
fall as lightly as possible. with the
child in his arms.
This he at once proceeded TO do,
but the fall did not come until both
father and child were landed in
heavy barbed wire fence and re-
ceived cuts and bruises which were
intensely painful and demanded the
attention of a physician to make
necessary adjustm ents.
The injured pair was picked up by
residents of the mesa, who happen
ed to drive upon the scene shortly
after the accident, and brought to
town where the wounds were at
tended to. Mr.. Wyans received Sc
we're cuts and scratches on differ
ent parts of his bcdy, but the
<hild's worst injuries We're on her
right limb. Both are now reported
as getting along nicely.

PUclLiSTIC BEET GROWER
LANDED ON WlFE'S EYE
Was Hailed Into Court and Made to
Pay Well For His Unmanly
Practice.

Henry Weiser, a husky German
who grows sugar beets Just south
of the city, and who doubtless per-
forms many other feats in the
field which one night think re-
quired all the extra enregy and mus.
cuiar forces of any man, but not
SO with Henry.
Henry gets up at in the morn
ing these days and has good half
days work done before many other
people even think of breaking in
on the scene of action. He was up
at that early hour last Saturday, and
his wife, who had toiled late the
night before, did not care for the
idea of leaving her bed at such an
inearthly hour.
Mrs. Weiser stated this fact to
her husband after he had succeed
ed in getting her aroused from the
deco slumber, but the man of the
house then made his solicitation a
command. according to the testi-
mony of the woman in Judge Fair
lambs court at 2: 80 Saturday after
noon. He had some heavy work for
her to do that day and he wanted
her to start on an even beses with
him.
Mrs. Weiser entered further pro
test and then Henry's Dutch was
u3' right. He grabbed his patient
help-mate from her bed and proceed
ed to give her some points in pugiI-
ism which would reke Jim Flynn
look foolish. There were upper
cuts. swings on the jaw. the shoulders
and one lively jolt landed on Mrs.
Weiser's left eye. leaving landscape
productions of a darkened line.
The woman came into the city a
little later. had a warrant issued
for Henry's arrest and he was tax
en- before Judge Fairlamb that after
noon, where fine and costs were

were paid. Neither of the parties

Both the president and Post
master General Hitchcock have
recommended to congress that all
postmasters be converted into the
classified service and that so far as
possible the entire personnel of
the postal service be removed from
political influence. As to the first,
second and third class postmasters,
legislation by congress would be
required to place them more under
civil service regulations.
Whether this order will operate
more effectively with postmasters
than Forest officials remains to be
