Delta eople Auto
To Mesa on Sunday

Twenty-Five automobiles conveyed
over a hundred residents of this city
to the second crossing of Kaiser creek
or about four and one-half miles from
the famous lakes Oh Grand mesa last
Sunday morning. where all enjoyed a
picnic dinner at about l o'clock and
then put in the rest of the day stroll
ing about over that BEAUTIFUL mountain
territory.
The object of this drive and days
outing was to give the people of Delta
an opportunity to see what was being
done in the way of public highway
to the Grand mesa lakes from this
city, how far completed and what re-
mained of the road to be constructed.
The road is now completed to the
crossing above mentioned, four and
one-half miles from the top of the
mesa. and if stockholders in the en-
terprise can see their way clear to
come up with the assessments already
made the road will soon be ready for
tourists to get into this famous resort
territory and form some idea of the
scenic wonders of the Rockies yet to
be looked upon by people from the
outside world.
The Sunday automobile drivers say
that the road as far as completed is in
perfect condition and all are hoping
that the finishing touches can be put
on at once so that they can drive
through to the lakes.

DELTA MEN ASSIST IN GREET
ING THE HooSIER AUToISTS

Senator Geo. Stephan. John ]. Travis
and ]. E. Galllp drove to Grand juno
ton in the Travis car last Tuesday
morning TO take part in the reception
and entertainment of a delegation
comprising some sixty-five or seventy
automobile tourists from Indiana, who
represent the Indiana Automobile
Manufacturing association.
The citizens of Grand Junction had
everything in readiness for the occa-
sion and in consequence the Hoosier
people were highly pleased with their
greeting. A banquet was given at
La Court hotel at 7:S0 in the evening,
when several very able addresses
were made by both the Indiana and
local men bearing upon the transconti-
mental highway question.
Among the number from the east
to interest auditors at this banquet
was ex-Mayor Buckwalter of Indianap-
oils, who is one of the most pronounc-
ed supporters of the national highway

men of the place returned with them
to lend every possible assistance. The
body was brought to Delta Wednesday
evening.
There is no apparent cause for Mr..
Ramsays desire to end his life, but
1t is suggested that it might have
resulted from financial matters to
which he had once or twice referred
when in conversation with close
friends OF this city.
Mr.. Ramsay was so years Of age
at the time of his death. He came
to this city in 1897 from Salida and
for several years was manager of the
Golden Rule store owned by his broth
er, C. II. Ramsay, of Greeley. In 1903
he was united in marriage to Miss
Amelia Jensen, whose parents now re-
side on the Gunnison river some six
miles distant from this city.
Deciding to give up mercantile pur-
suit he purchased an s0-acre tract OF
land adjoining Delta on the north and
later this property was traded for
sheep and he has continued in this
line OF pursuit ever since. He -pur-
chased a sawmill enterprise some two
or three years ago and this proved
losing venture from start to finish,
doubtless causing the financial dif-
ficulties which have seemed to prey
upon his mind and eventually cause
that desire to give up the struggle.
He was a member of the local order
of Odd Fellows and Modern Woodmen.

School for the National Guard.

The war department of the United
States has ordered that school for
all commissioned officers in Colorado
be held from September l9 to %. The
officers of Company G have been noti-
fled to attend. The school will be

army officers. At the same time all
non-commissioned officers are expect

+ hearings Of Criminal Cases Are
Listened To With Much Interest

The closing case in the county court
Tony Piccone, section foreman in the
Roubideaux district, who had buried
a critter belonging to w. E. School
field and killed by the Rio Grande
company, without preserving the
brand or other means of identified
ton.
According to the stock laws of this
state when an animal is killed by the
railroad company the brand must be
retained in good order to determine
where damages are to be paid and
this case was largely for the purpose
of testing the merits of the law. There
were many stockmen present at each
session of this hearing and also num-
ber of officials and employees to testi-
fy as to company instructions in such
cases and as to the action of Piccone.
Piccone, as he thought, had taken
off that part of the hide bearing the
brand, but further investigation indi-
Gated that he had only secured that
part OF the pelt which had been cut
considerably when the animal was
killed The branded part was taken
out Of the grave by Mr.. Schoolfield
and others a few days later. Railroad
attorneys contended that Piccone had
attempted to fulfill his part in the
matter according to instructions of the
company and could not be held for

ROBBERS GET $500 LOOT FROM
WELLS-FAReo EXPRESS CAR.

A Wells-Fargo company express car
was entered by thieves last Monday
night as it stood in the west end of
the Grand Junction railroad yards, and
clothing and silks to the value of be-
tween s40O and $500 were extracted.
The robbery occurred some time be-
tween 8 o'clock that night and the
time No. left the city early next
morning. Entrance was made by
breaking a window and opening the
door by reaching through the broken
pane and unlatching the door that
was locked on the inside.
The loot consisted of made-to-order
suits in boxes, some elegant silks and
other goods of value The plunder
must have been quite a load, and
therefore the supposition is that there
were several or at least more than
one implicated.
Sheriff Schrader was notified early
Tuesday morning and was greatl.'
handicapped in starting at work on
the case, as the car had been taken
west on No. without waiting for
him to examine it for clues. All he
had TO go by is what he was told
by the wells-Fargo people and what
little he can rake up himself. He has
some very fair ideas in the matter,
in spite of the handicaps, that may
lead 10 a capture Of the robbers.
II is understood that the car was
brought in on No. 103 Monday, which
was very late. No. not being held for
the express, and the car was being
held for No. s. The robbers were
evidently familiar with the lay OF the
land and were not entirely ignorant
of the contents of the car.
The robbery is the largest that has
occurred in railroad or express cir
cles since the Globe Express safe was
robbed of $4,000 by Gilbert and
Teachout at Grand Junction

of the higher ups" and not Piccone.
The jury considered the evidence in
sufficient to hold Piccone on the
charge and a verdict of acquittal was
rendered at about noon On Saturday.
The next case on the criminal dock
ct was that of the People VS.. Wayne
Langford. Miss Nettie Conrad of North
Delta was tho complaining witness,
and she was seeking support for an
gun Saturday afternoon and after So
lecting jury continuance was taken
to Monday morning at $50. There
was a good audience on hand to hear
every single word of the testimony in
this somewhat sensational matter.
but the court decided that no one Of
this audience should know of the de-
tails and they were excluded The
case proceeded for a time and when
complaining witness took the stand
her own testimony was considered
sufficient to defeat her demands and
the action against Langford dismissed.
civil matter demanding attention
on Tuesday was that Of ]. F. Cole
against B. E. Wheeler to gain possess
sion of certain farm property in tho
Gunnison river valley upon which de
fendant had failed TO pay.

Thieves Get Bunch
of Blooded Chickens

L. r. wigram. whose office of COM
missioner of finance and supplies Of
the city of Delta also carries with
IT a police commissioner, had his
chicken house raided one night the
first of this week and a number of his
prize chickens taken. The thieves
pulled the heads off the fowls and
left them In plain sight They then
carried them bleeding up the side
walk and across toward the railroad.
Mr.. Wigram tracked them by the
blood to a shack occupied by num-
her OF Mexicans. Going behind the
shack he saw a pile of feathers that
he recognized as the kind Worn by
his fowls. He did not attempt to
make arrests as he considered II hard
to fix the proof on any one OF those
in the shack. but says his shotgun
will be ready to receive the thieves
on their next visit.
There has been n great deal of chick
en- stealing in and around Delta. and
II has been shown where several per-
sons were apprehended. that ii was
not all done by Mexicans.

Randolph C. Walker. former well
kr own and popular atto-'>y OF tn

dates for postoffice holors at the
Mesa county metropolis and there is
row every indication that he may
lard the prize.
There's a fight on, however. as wiz
be noted by the following brief re
view Of candidates recently appearing
in one of the Grand Junction news
rapers:
Congressman Ed T. Taylor will
come to Grand Junction as soon as
the adjournment of the extra session
of congress for the purpose of meet
ing with the people of this city and
reaching his final decision in the
postoffice fight. which has been
waged here for the last several
months.
1T is known that the fight has be
come so complicated that Congress
man Taylor feared to settle IL with
out a personal visit here. The fight
has apparently narrowed down to R.
C. Walker and NJ. Hertz to such an
extent that Taylor may deem 1t ad-
visable to pick a compromise.

AUTO TAX COLLECTIONS BEGAN
IN THIS CITY ON TUESDAY

According to the new law the autos
mobile must pay its toll amount
ranging, it is said, from $3.50 to $10-7
and the local collector, County Clerk
Shepherd, began his work in this line
last uesday.
Mr.. Shepherd received a good sup
ply of application blanks, etc, from
the secretary of state last Monday
with instructions that the licenses
would follow few days later. There
are one hundred and twenty-five or
thirty automobiles in this city snd
immediate vicinity and perhaps as
many more in the entire county, all
of which must have the required doc
ument.
A recent statement from the state
metropolis in connection with the
automobile tax and its collection is
as follows:
There are some $1,000 machines in
the state, and of this number nearly
one-half are in Denver. County cerks
are being supplied with the necessary
blanks for the issuance of licenses and
in all counties outside of Denver the
county clerk will transact the busi-
ness and afterwards send the remit
tances to the secretary of state. Sew
eral wagon loads of printed blanks
have been prepared for this tax and
the work Of getting them in shape has
taken much of the time of the entire
force Of the secretary OF state for
more than a month.
1t is estimted by the governor that
the state will be benfited at least $780,
