WITH POLITICAL SI'EAkEI

There has been no lack of polit-

Last week our section had Vim

week We have O'Donnell, Shafroth

Next week. or the days following,
we will have Dawson Parks and a

ONE OF DELTA TRIPLETS
PASSES TO OTHER WORLD.

Three months ago three bright
eyed little girls were born to Mr..
and Mrs. Michael Martinez of North
Delta. All were in healthful con-
dition at first and it WAS sincerely
hoped that this exceptional record
of family affairs in this county
would prove complete success, but
it was not the will OF providence,
it seems. that this should be the
case
Vida, one of the trio, was taken
seriously i'll short time since and
though every effort was made in her
behalf, death came as the only re-
lief at 12 a. M, Monday. Funeral
services and burial were held on
the afternoon Of that day.
The mother. who Is a very slender
little woman, Is reported as not in
the very best of health at this time
but the other children of the triplets
are said to be progressing nicely.

GIRL BADLY BRUISED
IN RUNAWAY ACCIDENT.

Three daughters of John Hank,
spirited young team to town last
Saturday evening and when in front
of the Catholic church on Meeker
street the horses took fright at some
object along the way and soon had
acquired a rate of speed which
would have thrown dust up in front
of Joe Patchen.
The young woman who held the
reins did everything in her power
to conclude the mad race but find
ing that this could not be done and
hold the road, she drew the team to
one side where a tree was collided
with, single-tree snapped in two,
and all were precipitated to the
ground from their seat in the spring
wagon with violent force.
Two of the girls found themselves
practically unhurt after the episode,
but one of the trio was scratched
and bruised seriously enouh to nee
essitate the services of a physician.
She was carried into the homa of
A. E. Penley, where attention was
given that night. and taken to her
home the following day.
The team broke away from the
wrecked wagon and was stopped n
few blocks from where the accident

Arthur Reese, "a years of age and

charge from a double-barreleds shot
gun into his own breast near the
heart at about 10 O'Clock Tuesday
forenoon and dropped dead in the
room of his farm home which he
had chosen for his last act.
The young man was employed on
the Boggs' ranch near Coalby and
he had told Mrs. Eda Willets. the
only other person at the house at
that time that he intended taking
his own life. He had gun in his
possession and Mrs. Willets nat
urally accepted his statement as
full of meaning She ran screaming
from the house to notify men at
work in the fields and when she re-
turned the mangled body of Reese
was found on the floor af room,
near the outside door.
Reese had placed the stock of the
gun on top of the door so that he
could plaee the barrel at a point de-
sired and then cause discharge by
pressure on the trigger. The young
man is said to have been desprate-

THE MARSHALL PASS
SURVEY HAS BEGUN
WORK INSTITUTED WEDNESDAY
Engineer H. G. Mciechen of Salida
in Chargo-RepOrt is Received
With Great Delight in This
Part OF State.

The broad-guaging of Marshall pass
has already begun, it seems. accord
ing to reports from Salida and from
a statement appearing in the col
umns of the Salida Mail on Tues
day of this eek.
Permanent survey work on the line
was Instituted last Wednesday under
direction of II. G. McMechen, at pres
ent city engineer of Salida. and he
is under Instructions to push the
work as rapidly as possible. 1t is
the desire of Rio Grande officials TO
have the road widened in time for
next years fruit and other crops Of
this district.
The reason given for pushing the
permanent survey at this time Is in
order that rock work and some parts
of the grading may be entered upon
at once and be practically completed
by spring when 1t will be a compara-
lively small matter TO go through
with the other grading necessary
and put down heavier rails on a
widened roadbed.
From the Salida Mails report. we
quote as follows:
While the change will be of
great benefit to the Denver a Rio
Grande railroad by shortening the
route and lesening the grade. ii will
be of inestimable valns to the
Western Slope. getting its fruit and
agricultural produce to market in
less time and at reduction of the
freight rates.

the disposal OF his party the spec
ial cars "P," "B"and IN for liy-
ing quarters. About eighteen men

GRAND JUNCTION AVIATION
MEET WAS HUGE SUCCESS
Large Crowd of Delta People Was
There to Witness Marvellous
Exploits.

People went from De. lta and
Montrose to Grand Junction by the
hundreds Tuesday to witness the
exploits of one of the Curtiss aero
planes.
There was a score or more auto
loads made the trip from Delta,
beside the two coach loads on the
excursion train.
The program advertised at the
fair grounds was carried out to the
letter, the three flights being made
in superb manner and entirely to
the satisfaction of the more than
five thousand people who witnessed
them
Among all the voices heard at
the time of the fligts, and after
terward, not one expression other
than enthusiastic was heard. II

were the words spoken by practic-
ally every visitor.
A large majority of those who
witnessed the flights at Grand

machine before and of course the
interest was greater that it would
have been had the exhibition been
more familiar one. The splendid
exhibitions offered and the rare
skill of the aviator in handling his
machine, were subjects of favorable
comment by the few who had wit
messed other expert flying.
Mr. Walsh proved himself an avia-
tor of the first ranks. Soaring un-
til himself and machine appeared a
series of spiral curves SO short as
to make his ship appear to turn COM
plete revolutions, then swesp down
to tree-top elevation to chase a
racing auto around the track and
pass it at twice its speed. His
dips and flights were an amazing
revelation of what man can do in
initiating the. eagle and his lighting
was simply perfect
The two daily newspapers Of Grand
Junction, the News and the Sentinel
are to be congratulated upon their
enterprise in this meet, the full
expense of which they guaranteed,
and the result of which was the
gathering in that city of the largest
crowd it has entertained within a
period of several years.

BRIDGE CONSIDERED UNSAFE
AND TRAINS WOULDN'T CROSS

Heavy rains caused a flow of
water to rush down in the valley dis
tricts near Dominguez Tuesday with
such force as to greatly weaken
number of the railroad bridges.
At Dominguez the Rio Grande
bridge was considered with doubt
by the crews of two freight trains
and they deciedd not to cross, even
though the passenger train that
evening" had pulled through safely
The railroad officials here were
notified and bridge crew was or
dered to the scene from Hochkiss
and the weakened points were soon
temporarily repaired so that the ex-
cursion train from Grand Junction

from Delta and Montrose who had
made the trip that day, also
found roads and bridges in very

the Grand junction Sentinel we learn
that Grand valley investors place
their losses at easily 100000.
We herewith present a review of
the bond dealings in Mesa county:
Several prominent busines IS men of
Grand Junction were inveigled into
the scheme to buy bonds which pro-
pose to yield seven per cent inter
est. and it now appears that their
chances for getting even a small
sum on the engraved certificates
are slight. The United States gov
ernment has indicted several men
who headed this and associate
schemes in the Northwest and the
United States district attorney at
Portland, is probing the business
transactions of the concern.
During the past few days. said
the Sentinel, a number of local
business men who have been directly
or indirectly connected with the
company by reason of the purchase
CT stock or otherwise, have been
sought by the district attorney to
give further information on the deal
ings with the Columbia River outfit
From the beet information OBJ
tainable 1t seems that the company
has tract of tilla BILE land. ordin-
arily fertile and has feasible
scheme for irrigation. In honest
hands the scheme would undoubted-
/, have been all right. The shysters
who have been indicted. however.
paid for the construction work with
the bonds and finally sold over
West great quantities of the paper.
In order not to default on the inter
est they circulated reports among
the brokers that the bonds were OF
questionable value and that the
whole scheme was a frost. This had
the effect of putting the bonds On the
market at low price and they
were able to get in practically all
of the paper for a song. The prof
it's on this transaction were large
for the company. but, unwilling to
pass up any more easy money than
necessary. they began to use the
mails to assist them in the fraudu-
lent scheme. with the result that
the whole bunch was hailed before a
grand jury and indicted. Their trial
will occur this fall.
United States District Judge Han
ford. who recently resigned while be
ing investigated. placed this con-
cern. with few others commanded
by the same crowd. in the hands of
n receiver
Several cases are known in Grand
Junction where ranches, unincum-
bered, were traded for sheaves of
these bonds while equities in city
property were also negotiated for a
pile of the engravings.
