best quality, draft for $42.65?
This was the experience of l.. L..
Haines, who this morning received
that amount from Chicago for the
last two carloads of peaches which
were sent from his fruit ranch in
Delta county. The shipment was
$500 boxes After the freight was
paid, and the commission of the
firm taken Mr.. Haines got two cents
a box. which was not as much as
the packing of the peaches cost. The
actual loss of the shipment to Mr.
Haines was around $500.

$4,000 boxes, and left on his trees

ROBBERS
IN JAIL
CAUGHT AFTER KNOCK DOWN
FIGHT WITH STOLEN GOODS
IN POSSESSION-B BOTH PLEAD
NOT GUILTY

LaSalle, Oct. 23.-Two men, who
and JEFF" Lee, are being held in
robbery of the Austin & Glasgow
general merchandise store of this
place, which was entered and looted
Monday night.
Deputy Sheriff Charles E. Peter
son Of Greeley made the arrest yes
terday at Hardin, where the alleg-
ed thieves were waiting for a train
for Sterling, they having bought
tickets for that place. They had no
intention of submitting gracefully
to arrest, the larger man showing
resistance and had to be knocked
down by Peterson. 1t was found
that he had large gun on his per-
son.
The men had two suit cases with
them, in which were clothing taken
from the store according to identifi-
cation of the owners, and in their
pockets were jewelry and smaller
articles. Each of them had on a
pair Of shoes and hat believed to
have been included in the loot when
arrested. In all, goods to the
amount of $142 were found in their
possession.
When arrested the men said they
hailed from Denver, but later one
of them said he had come from
Oklahoma and the other said he was
from Kentucky. Lee is about 25
years old and Burns about 80.
Both men entered a plea of not
guilty.

Bumper Peach Crop in the Delta
District Brings Loss to Growers

from 5000 to 1000 boxes, as the
market price would not permit them
to be harvested with any profit.
With record breaking crop this
year he estimated that his loss in
caring for the crop and harvesting
the part that was sold was about
$4,000.
All fruit growers on the west
ern slope Jared the same way and
the ones who are best off financially
from the years crop are the ones
who left the peaches on the trees
and made no attempt to gather them
at the low market price.
The conditions of the peach
market this year seem to be similar
to the year that potatoes were sold
in Greeley for Is to 25 cents per
hundred.

Referring to the oft-repeated re-

in his opinion there are not enough

so that they may vote intelltgently.

MOOSE PARTY
NAMES GRAHAM

Judge Neil F. Graham. one of the
democratic candidates for district
Judge, has been indorsed by the
Bull Moose candidates and the va
cancy committee placed him on the
third party ticket this morning.
Quick action was necessary because
the time limit for filing acceptances
expired at noon today.
Judge John T. Jacobs was the
original nominee of the Bull Moose
party, but recently pulled off. He
has been i'll for several weeks and
did no campaigning.
The agreement among the Bull
Mooses to put Judge Graham on the
ticket came at the eleventh hour and
was finally decided upon last night.

OPEN LETTER TO J. MAX CLARK
Greeley, Colo, Oct. 27. 1912.

Greeley, Colo, Oct. 81. 1912.
Hon. j. Max Clark,
Greeley. Colo.
Dear Sir:-There is a mis-state-
ment in your letter to the Greeley
Tribune under date of Oct. 19, un-
intentional on your part no doubt;
and in that letter you argue that no
better man for assessor can be
found in the ranks OF any political
party than A. l.. Mumper. Because
| believe E. A. Morgan, candidate of
the Progressive party. to be the best
man that has been nominated for
assessor, and am not willing that
Mr.. Mumper shall take credit for an
act he i'd not perform, am writing
you this letter, copy of which !
shall furnish the Greeley Tribune
and other papers.
You made the statement in your
letter that Mr.. Mumper moved the
appointment Of the committee which
made an investigation for the tax
payers. This is an error. The un-
dersigned moved the appointment Of
that committee, and also moved
that MIR. Mumper act as chairman.
MIR. Mumper did not wish to serve,
the expenses of the committee in
stead.
Mr.. Mumper has had ample time
to correct this error of yours. He
has not done SO, but has reprinted
your letter and is circulating it as
a campaign document. 1t is up to
Mr. Mumper now to put himself
right with you and the public.
do not wish to detract from any
credit he should have for public
service actually rendered but neither
he nor the Democratic party should
claim credit for the acts of indi-
viduals who were at the time MEM
bers Of another party.
This whole movement against
graft in this county has been large
ly non-political anyway. and l have
no more sympathy with the effort OF
the Republican party to claim all
the credit for its exposure than
have for the attempt OF the Demo-
Gratis to fasten on the Republican
candidates who assisted in its ex-
posure the blame for its existence.
The taxpayers meeting was non
partisan a. was also the grand jury
