London, Nov. i9-The report thai an armistice had been agreed to by tae Bulgarians and Iurks along the 1chatalia lines, for the burial of the dead appears to have been unf0und cd. Dispatches from Nazim Pasha. the Turkish commander -in-chief show that the artillery duel continu- cd throughout the day.
 The Turks claim successes against the Bulgarians but there is nothing to indicate that the Bulgarians have yet made any serious attempt to pene- uate the lines. The battle may be ended at any moment by Turkey ac- eepting the allies terms for an armis |. iice which are said to include the surrender of the Tchatalja lines. Ad- rlanople. Durazzo and Scutari
 There is possibility, however. that Turkey may decline 10 sur render Tchatalja. While her western army has been completely defeated. she still posses. according to the cor respondents at the front homegen. ous army behind the Tchatalja fofti- ftation, largely composed of some of her best fighting material from tho Asiastic provinces which has not yet been in oction. Moreover the de- mosalzation and disorganization which followed the Kirk-Kilisseh and Lnluburgas retreats apparently have heen remedied and the army is now well supplied with food and ammuni- ton.
 Under the conditions the Porte may be induced to make a further stand in the hope of securing easier peace conditions. Evidently Bulgaria has brought up all her available forces to attack Tchatalja, including some ot the Servian troops, but the task oi crushing the Turkish defense may prove a difficult one.
 The prospect of European dissen- sions arising out of the settlement oi the numerous territorial claims to be arranged after the war becomes daily more menacing Austria has rot presented an actual ultimatum to Seryia, setting a time limit for a reply to certain inquiries, which shs has formulated, but short of that the relations between the two countries are very strained and Servia's eyidelt intention to take Durazzo will be still mother defiance of Austria.
 Vice Admiral Monte-Cuccoli, in the Austrian delegation today warned the members to be prepared for the rise Of powerful Balkan navies in the Aeg' can sea This is one of the signs oI lle encouragement of southeastern Europe as a result of tAe war which IS likely to keep the European chan eellories in a state of tension for a long time to come
 Both Austria and Russia are taking measures. so they will be prepared Tor any eyentuality. It ls reported to- nlght from st Petersburg that Rus sla is purchasing several hundred guns abroad.
 according to a despatch from Bel grade, the disposition of Monastis was noi provided for by prior agree meat by the allies and likely will cause trouble.

orchard property near this city. drove
seven-passenger automobile into
Pueblo from Delta one day last week

Saturday Frank boarded the train
out of Pueblo for Delta and began his
journey over Marshall pass out OF
Salida next day. Everything went
along smoothly, he says, until at a
point about three miles east of Cerro
ly noticed something going wrong and
then the baggage car and two front
coaches slipped from the rails and
toppled over.
The passengers had had sufficient
warning OF impending danger and
many jumped from the cars as they
went down. Others braced themsel-
yes in various ways with the result
that not single person. excepting a
baggage man, perhaps, being serious

The train was running at about

counts for the fortunate outcome of

wreckage WAS cleared and the short

Much New Land is Cultivated.

One has only to travel a little
around Delta to observe how very
much land has been brought under
cultivation within the past three
years.
The area is largest and most notice,
able on the North Delta side. Three
years ago the sage brush unbroken
area began between North Delta and
the Grand Mesa foot hills, and extend
ed down the Gunnison river for five
or six miles.
With the completion Of the North
Delta canal not only that vast area
has all been broken. but a large por-
tion of 1t has already produced from
two to three crops. II has grown to
good yields, sugar beets, potatoes,
wheat. oats and alfalfa. The farms
have been fenced and public roadways
built. Across several of the larger
arroyos substantial cement culverts
have been put in. road grading has
been generally well done and many
OF these new farms have been inn
proved with attractive cottages and
other buildings.
But this is not nearly all that one
irrigation ditch has accomplished. for
land has been broken along its course
clear up the river as far as Tongue
Creek.
New acres are being added to those
already cultivated. in all directions
from Delta. To the south and south
east the additional water afforded
through the Gunnison tunnel has had
its Influence and the number of acres
lying that way will be increased each
year as bitches are enlarged and more
water becomes available.

DELTA SHOULD HAVE ITS
BEET SUGAR FACTORY.

With the increased acreage now
little reason to doubt that beet sugar
factory of large capacity, located at
Delta, could easily be supplied with
whatever amount of beets it might
require for the acreage seasons run.
The success of our beet farms has
been amply proven through a period
OF half a dozen years of good crops.
Not only does the land yield large
tonnage but the beets run high in
sugar content.
The present years crop has not
alone been the largest ever grown in
this territory, but has obtained better
prices, and these prices were guaran-
teed.
AS a matter of fact the present has
been boom year for sugar beet farm
ing With the general big crops of
potatoes and fruits all over the coun-
try, those products have met with
poor market demand and slow AMI un-
certain returns in most cases from
carload shipments. On the other hand
the beets have gone to the factory at
contract prices and the pay checks
are just now putting a lot of money
into circulation.
Under these conditions it does not
look like it would be hard matter
to contract beet acreage for next
year.
The factory at Grand Junction has
been pressed to the limit to handle
the crop this year. and to get an early
start SO it coul get through with the
seasons run. the company offered a
liberal advance ON all beets delivered
in September.
1t is reasonable to believe that with
factory at Delta. the beet acreage
could easily be doubled in the terri
tory tributary to it, and this leaves
not a single reason why Delta should
not at last have her factory.

BODY FOUND NEAR HOUSE NEXT
DAY BY A SEARCHING
PARTY.
RIFLE BALL PIERCED HEAD
VICTIM A WELL KNOWN FARMER
OF THIS COUNTY, LIVING
ON TONGUE CREEK.

Frank Mitchell. reported to be about
45 years of age, met death at some
hour last Thursday morning when
hunting on ranch owned by himself
and his brother. Harry. in the Tongue
Greek district. but the fact did not be
come known until Friday afternoon
when his mangled. lifeless body was
found near barbed wire fence some
half or three-fourths of mile from
the cabin occupied by the two brothers.
Frank had shouldered a rifle Thurs
day morning telling his brother that he
was going out for few hours hunt.
He failed to return that night and
the brother thought IL possible for him
TO have wondered out some little dis
lance from their home and to have
remained all night with neighbor.
He failed to show up Friday morning
and then Harry Mitchell. the brother.
began to worry about his continued
absence.
A small searching party was formed
ed and this party Was not long in
coming upon the dead body Of Frank
lying near wire fence. about three
fourths OF n mile from the Mitchell
cabin and with the gun In such posi-
ton to show that the fatal shot
had resulted from an effort to drae
the weapon through the fence when
the hammer had caught with suffi-
cicnt force TO cause discharge.
The county coroner and district at
torney's office were promptly notified
and at an inquisition that afternoon
Il was found that the bullet had en-
tered the top OF Mitchells head. tear
ing a large portion OF the skull away
and the brains had fallen out. The
principal part OF this substance had
remained intact but there were sever
al small particles some little distance
from where the body lay.
Frank Mitchell and his brother,
Harry. who was n travelling salesman

century, came to Delta county from
