TAKING SPIN ABOUT COUNTRY
WITH A STOLEN LIVERY RIG

Last Wednesday afternoon a strang-
er in Gunnison went into one of the
team, stating to the man in charge
that he wanted to take drive about
town. That night when the fellow
failed to return at what would be con
sidered a reasonable hour the livery
man became suspicious of his custom.
er. Sheriff Pat Hanlon was notified,
and he in turn notified Sheriff Samp-
son of this county. Both forces got
busy, with the result that the Delta Of
ficers came on to the trail of the fly
ing fugitive next day Fact is, how
ever, that Hanlon and his men were
on the trail all right from the very
first, but the thief had several hours
the start of them, seemed to know all
the roads of the country and main
tained his lead with apparent ease.
The Delta officers found that the
driver had crossed Back mesa, then
come to the state bridge and made a
L
country, where he was next heard
from. and was yet on the go. Sheriff
Hanlon and man from the livery sta
BILE are yet out on the trail and are .eX-
pecting to keep up the chase until they
get possession of their man The Gun
nison News Champion gives the fol-
lowing detail of the theft and the pur-
suit now being made;
Up to late Thursday they were un-
able to locate either the team or the
thief Coincident with the securing of
the team was the finding of a saddle
horse tied to the fence in the outskirts
of the city The authorities have con-
nected the two happenings and are of
the opinion that the man is wanted in
another section OF the state and is flee.
ing from the scene of crimes commi-
It'd in some other section.
The men at the barn do not have
good description of the thief. as little
attention was given him at the time
team was secured. The sheriff spent
N tuHtSudF HlSul at fdould ana q COlI-
munication from him stated that he
would be able to run down the outfit
some time Thursday.
The finding of the horse was re-
ported Wednesday afternoon by Mrs
Mcnamara, who lives in the Rio
Grande section house. According to
her statement, the animal was tied to
a post near her house soon after noon
Tuesday. She notified the Eastman
barn Wednesday afternoon and the
horse was given attention.
THE leaving of the saddle horse and
the taking of the livery team is be.
lieved to be the work of the same in
dividual. No effort has been made to
locate the owner of the horse, but the
management of the barn is reasonably
sure that the animal is a livery horse
He expects at any time to receive IN
quiries concerning lost or stolen sad
die horse. In the meantime the animal
is being kept at the barn

DOES GOVERNMENT OR PEOPLE
OWN SEEP WATER OF VALLEY?

The hearing before District Engineer
appeal of the reclamation service from
the action of Water Commissioner Bax-
ter in refusing to give the government
the return waters of the Uncompahgre
river which comes from the water
turned into the valley by the Gunnison
tunnel ended in heated argument be-
tween F. d. Catlin, John j. Tobin and
George w. Bruce.
The case, which is one of unusual
interest to the water users of the I'm
compahgre valley, and especially to
those taking their water supply from
the Ironstone ditch, arose over the
question of the governments right to
take the water which is returning as
seep and percolating water to the I'm
compahgre river. Some fine points of
law are involved in the question, and
the meeting on Monday afternoon was
held to get a decision from Engineer
Getty after both sides of the question
had been carefully discussed by the
contendng parties.
The hearing was opened by c. ].
Moynihan for the government and a
strong argument was made to show
wherein the government had complied
with the law in announcing its inten-
tions of retaking the return waters.
The law was cited TO prove that a par

announced his intention of so doing
Mr.. Moynihan claimed that in the case
of seepage and drainage waters this is
true also, and went on to show how
the increased flow of seepage waters
in the Uncompahgre river was due tC
the water which is now being turned
into the valley through the Gunnisor
tunnel. The legal side of the case wal
treated by numerous citations bearing
upon the points in issue.

and Thomas Burns, the latter by aft
davit, to prove that there has alway
been a steady increase in the seepas
waters of the Uncompahgre vale
since the time when the first settler
commenced to irrigate, between twer
ty-six and twenty-seven years age
These gentlemen also stated that l
their opinion it would be absolutely in

One afternoon a couple from an ad-

a Boston divine and asked to be mar
ried just as he was about to enter the
pulpit to conduct an afternoon service
The minister replied that he regretted
that he could not at that moment com
ply with their wish, but that immedi-
ately upon the conclusion of the serv-
ice he would take pleasure in perform
ing the ceremony. The lovers after
demurring seated themselves in the
rear of the church. When the minister
had finished the service he made the

COLOR BLINDNESS.
II Takes Some Peculiar Twists In the
Matter of Heredity.

II Takes Some Peculiar Twists In the
Matter Of Heredity.
Professor Bateson in lecturing be-
fore the Royal institution on ''Heredity
Of Sex" related some curious facts
which had been discovered as the re-
suit of examining several generations
of a family in which color blindness
appeared.
A color blind woman was very rare
" found. and she was always the
daughter of a color blind man. Her
sons and daughters would be normal
and her sons families would be nor
NAL. but If her daughters had sons
they would be found to be normal and
color blind in equal numbers.
A curious anomaly with reference to
color blindness appeared in twin girls.
They were exactly alike in appearance,
but one girl was color blind and the
other not. No explanation Of this ex-
ception has been found.
Professor Bateson said that there
was popular belief that sons in GER
tain respects took after their mothers
and daughters after their fathers
Within a reasonable range Of speculs-
ton this was so. AS to sons taking
after their mothers. they saw this In
the experience of their own families

whv Clocks Get Out of Order.

The reason why mantelpiece clocks
so often get out Of order is so obvious
that 1t is strange that attention to 1t
has not been drawn before. A London
clockmaker said:
''It is because martelpieces are rare
ly level. If a clock meant for man.
telpiece is not placed in an exactly
horizontal position 1t is sure to go
wrong. When the clock gains or loses
because of its slanting position people
regularly move the hands forward or
back ward. as the case may be, in or
der to adjust it. Eventually the clocks
hands are moved about so much that
the mechanism gets out of order and
the clock refuses even to tick. Watches
and travelling clocks are constructed
differently from the stationary CLOCK,
and they will go in any position. That
,s why they are relied upon more than
the ornamental mantelpiece clock."-

Retreat to Safety.


Retreat to Safety.
An amusing story of the adventure
that four men had with an irritable
bull is told by correspondent of the
London Field. 1t contains a hint that
may be useful to some reader who
shall hereafter find himself in a SINH
lar disagreeable situation
A farmer had a bull that he thought
perfectly dOcile. One day he was
quietly walking behind the herd when
without any warning the bull turned
and came straight at him. He had a
heavy club in his hands, and he struck
the animal with all his might over the
head and eyes several times. when the
club broke. For the moment he did not
know what to do and thought it was
all over with him. when he remem-
bered that some one had told him that
bull would not attack you if you lay
down, so he threw himself fiat on his
face and shouted for help, and three Of
his men who were not far off came
running to the rescue.
When they got within about twenty
yards he told them to come on their
hands and knees, and in this way they
came up alongside of him. The ques-
ton then was what to do. They came
to the conclusion that the only thing
left was for all of them to retreat back
ward on their hands and knees. This
they did, and the bull. never more than
yard off, followed them up with his
head slightly on one side. Meanwhile
he snorted and beloved. and his eyes,
showing all the whites. looked. the
/ farmer said, as if they would come out
of his head. At last the men reached
the river bank, slipped over the edge
and so escaped.

Customs Officials.

Customs officials.
In the bad old days not so very long
ago travellers. when they reached the
Belgian frontier. were compelled to
leave their compartments in the mid
die Of the night in order to be present
at the customs examination of their
luggage.
A train in which Nine Sarah Bern
hardt was travelling reached the from
tier at midnight. and the customs Of
ficials made their customary raid into
her compartment. Roughly awakened
from her beauty sleep and not in the
best of humor. Nine. Bernhardt re-
fused to descend.
The officials uncoupled the actress
carriage, dumped her luggage on the
platform and went through it with
conscientious vigor.
By this time the train was about
ready to start.
You are not going to leave without
me?' cried the actress. 'Be so kind
as to couple my carriage at once"
when we have completed our ex-
animation" replied the inspector and
went on rummaging with redoubled
zeal. But he did not know with whom
he had to deal. The actress took up a
portmanteau. placed it between the
rails a few yards in front of the en-
gine and calmly seated herself.
"And now" she said, you can go on
if you please"
The officials were helpless. and the
Bernhardt car was attached to the
train. This lesson in manners soon
afterward produced a change in the
Belgian customs.-London Telegraph.
