ANSWERS LAST
s j N MONS
Mother Of Mrs. VIM. ButhOrn
SucCumbS After Two Years
Suffering in Silence.

After suffering for two years in
stoic silence. unwilling to allow even
her nearest friends to know that she
was in daily agony. Mrs. Mary Bit
finger expired at 1928 this morning
at her home in the La Court hotel.
Her condition grew suddenly worse
late last evening, and the end came
with all her relatives about her peu-
side
Mrs. Bittinger was the mother of
Mrs. William Buthorn and of Ralph
Il. Bittinger of Los Angeles. She
had resided in Grand Junction for
the past six years. and during that
time had endeared herself to a circle
of friends who loved her for her
many admirable qualities and bril-
liant attainments. Although she was
40 years of age, Mrs. Bittinger was
very active in her church work in
the Episcopal denomination and in
the guild work she was relied upon
as one of the organizations most en-
terprising members.
Her last illness became apparent
about two years ago: but, in the
same spirit that characterized ev-
cry phase of her life, Mrs. Bittinger
refused to admit her indisposition or
10 allow her loved ones to minister
to her needs and comforts. Shortly
before Thanksgiving last year she
grew worse, and was forced to re-
main in her room. She continued to
refuse the assistance of her daughter
and the many friends who called up
on her. declaring that she did not
need their attentions.
Her condition grew more grave as
the days passed by, and her son was
called from Los Angeles. Yesterday
1t became apparent that she could
not survive much longer, and, after
a period of patient suffering that
could wiring no word of complaint
from her, she quietly passed to that
Better Land, there to meet the God
she had served so long and SO faith
fully.
Mrs Bittinger was born in Man
helm, Pa. December IA, 1912. She
was married in 1866. and her hts
band has been dead 20 years From
Pennsylvania she removed to Illinois,
and later to Omaha. Neb, from
which city she accompanied Mr.. and
Mrs. Buthorn to Grand Junction
The funeral services will be held
tomorrow afternoon at 12:45 at the
home at the La Court, Rev. f. c.

Dear Mr. Walker:
Replying TO your favor of Janu-

position to the proposed division of

arguments for and against such di-
vision have been quite fully present
ed to me. and 1t is but fair to say
that there are distinctly two sides
to the question. have heard IL

the movement are to provide offices
for some office seekers desirous of

creasing the price of town property

fair statement of the case in any
way and believe that those who are
behind the movement are entirely
earnest in thinking that there are
much more serious reasons. The
chief claims of the serious, ones be-
hind the movement are that the
lower valley does not get its proper
proportion of the money expended
for roads and bridges: that it does

IS DENIED DIVORCE
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Chicago. Jan. 1.-THE application
of Mrs. Grace Brown Guggenheim to
have her divorce from William Gug-
genheim annulled was dismissed by
Judge Heard here today for want of
Guilty.
Mrs. Guggenheim based her APP
plication on the allegation that,
when she obtained the decree she
swore enormously that she was a
resident of Illinois. Judge Heard
held that both Mr.. and Mrs. Gug-
genheim were parties to fraud. and
that, therefore, Mrs. Guggenheim
was not entitled to win her suit.
Grace Brown marrieu William
Guggenheim in 1900, and decree
of divorce was entered next year,
with alimony in the lump sum of
S150.000. According to her attor-
ney the woman had previously been
divorced from Charles Hebert of
Washington The attorney said that
she had lived with Guggenheim only
three days. After divorcing him she
married Jules Roger Wahl, French
man. Guggenheim later married Amy
Steinberger, by whom he has a son,
William.
After the plaintiff married Nahl.
she filed suit in New York for a
divorce from Guggenheim, claiming
that the Illinois divorce was Illegal.
ms case was dismissed.
Mrs Guggenheim claims that she
does not want money. but is merely
trying to find out the status of her
divorce.

NEGOTIATIONS
DISCONTINUED
Hopes Of Associations Getting
Together Are Dissipated;
Agreement Hopeless.

All negotiations looking toward
the consolidation of the three fruit
growers associations in the valley
have been broken off and TO this
year. at least. no changes will be
made in the methods of marketing
the Grand Valley fruit crop.
The proposition of central sell
ing agency is meeting with no more
favor than the consolidation plan.
while the scheme of some to absorb
the up-valley associations by the
Grand Junction organization is still
less liked by the Palisade and Clifton
ranchmen.
The meetings, which were held
at frequent intervals last month,
have been discontinued, and hopes
of general agreement are not very
bright.

Announcement was made this af-
'ternoon that the Mesa Dry Goods

the leading business houses of the
city, would discontinue business. The
inability of the management to Sc
cure proper term lease with the

rect cause of the decision.

DAN f. CARPENTER
INJURED BY FALL
FROM HIS ENGINE
Wrist Broken and Serious Blow
on Head Result Of Accident
Yesterday Morning.

Daniel Il. Carpenter of 22S Rood
avenue was seriously but not fatal
ly injured at 10 O'Clock yesterday
morning in Price. Utah. when he fell
from the running board of his en-
gine, while the locomotive was stand
ing at the Price station. Mr.. Car
penter suffered n terrible blow on
the left side of his head, cut over
the left eye and his left wrist was
broken. He was picked up uncon-
scious and placed on the train. An
other engineer was secured to take
the train to Helper. where Mr.. Car
penter was taken to the Y. NJ. c. A.
emergency hospital and at last re-
ports has practically regained con-
scicusness. and is resting easily.
The accident happened when Mr..
Carpenter went out on the running
board to pound on the pipe to the
sand box. to loosen sand which had
clogged. the pipe. The running board
was icy. and as he was working his
foot slipped off and he pitched head
long | . feet to the ground. The fact
that his left wrist is broken proves
that he threw out his arm to save
himself and greatly lessened the
shock to his head. Mr.. Carpenter is
a large man, Weighing 230 pounds.
and 1t is surprising that his injuries
are not more serious.
The doctors state that the injured
engineer, who Is one of the best
known and has one of the longest
and best records on the Rio Grande
road. will not be able to come home
for several days. He was called for
