TAX LEVY FOR CITY
Will BE ! MILLS. IS
COUNCIL ESTIMATE.
Propositions Voted on by People, il Carried,
May Increase Figures; Valuation Will be
Over 100000 Says ssessor Brown.

THE city council, some time with
In the next two weeks, will fix
the city tax levy. According to
the best information in the hands of
local officials the levy will be close
to Z mills and possibly less than
that. Last year the levy for 1913
revenue was 26 y mills.
1t is estimated that approximately
$4,000 will be needed to carry on
the business of the city for the next
year or about the same as In 1918.
However, the passage of the munici-
pal ownership Proposition, the new
firehouse, the increased salaries OF
the city commissioners and the pur-
chase of the fair grounds will each
add considerably to the expenses of
the coming year and may require
revised levy after election.
The state board of equalization
last night officially adopted the ma
jority report of the state tax commits
sion and the effect OF this action is
to sustain the cont tentions of Assessor
John T. Brown in this county that he
has made an equitable valuation
while other counties. notably Denver
and Weld, have nit. The board fixed
the general state tax at l.3 mills.
Last year it was fixed at Al mills.
The difference In the valuation ac-
counts for the variance in these fig
ures.
This year the city is receiving rev.
enue from levy of &c X mills on a
valuation of Sl.SO0.0O0. Next year
the levy will be about Z mills on a
valuation of pretty close to $1,000
600. Assessor Brown has assessed
the local property in this city at &c.
565, 5,0G0. Added to this will be pub
lie utility assessments of close to
100000 and corporation ASSESS
mentssus about $t'5a. 600. These fig
ures are approximate as the distribu-
tion has not yet been made by the
county clerk. The valuation, how
ever, will exceed S7.0o0.000.
The city commissioners seem
agreed that the amount of lands for
city uses should not be in excess of
last year unless additional burdens
are placed on the city by the express
vote of the people on the various
propositions proposed to the people.

WATSON FREED
FROM CHARGES
Court Quashes indictment and
Famous POpuIiSt Wins the
Case Against Him.

AUGUSTA, Ga, Oct. 21.-The trial
of Thomas E. Watson, charged with
sending obscene matter through the
mails, ended abruptly today when the
United States district judge, Rufus
Il. Foster, sustained the motion of the
defense in quashing the Indictment.
Watson, addressing the court, ar
gued that the statute aimed at per-
sons sending literature dealing with
vicious and degrading use of drugs
and not paper or pamphlets of the
nature of his magazine. The argu-
ment charged that his magazine con-
tained the attack on the Roman
Catholic church and included the OBJ
scene language which the writer rep
resented being the questions asked
by the priests in the confessional.

V|N|NG CASE
HARD FOUGHT
The Result of This Suit Stands Large.
ly as a Finaication of the West
ern Slope Land Transactions
of Well Known Denver
Man.

The trial of tha suit of j A. Grom
and wife against j. c. Vining or the
j. C. Vining Investment Company,
was watched with very keen interest
and proved one of the most impor-
tant cases of a civil nature tried at
this term of the district court. and
the decision handed down by Judge
Black. terminating the case, comes
as vindication of the land trans
actions in western Colorado carried
on by Mr.. Vining. whose home is in
Denver, but. who is exceedingly well
known here. Mr.. Winnings many
friends rejoice in his victory in this
case.
The Groms had filed suit against
Mr.. Vining to recover n payment of
1000 they had made on 40-acre
tract of land purchased several years
ago from Mr.. Vining and located near
De Beque, They contended that mis-
representations had been made to
them, that they were deceived in
making tile purchase and. therefore
PRAYED for. return, OF the $1,000.
The case was given wide publicity
at the time the suit was filed.
The trial of the suit was hard
fought; in fact. one of the hardest
fought civil cases tried here in sew
eral years. The attorneys on both
sides put up brilliant fight. A large
number of witnesses were examined.
The court in rendering his decis-
ion held that no effort had been made
by Mr.. Vining to deceive the Groms
and that the Plaintiffs Groms could
not justify their action in breaking
the contract with Mr.. Vining
Attorney Samuel N. Wheeler rep
resented Mr.. Vining and made a
brilliant and successful fight for his
client.
Attorneys McMullin and Sternberg
represented the Groms, and they, too,
put UP splendid battle.
j. C. Vining has dealt in western
Colorado lands for a long period, and
has sent many most desirable settlers
to this section.

Mr.. Wanamaker has financed three

scope of the present one. In part his
appeal to the Indians is as follows:
LAS the older noble chiefs of the
Indian nations are passing away, they
will give their allegiance in their own
words to that flag which will fly
over their graves and protect their
young. They will feel that they can
hand down to their own children q
deeper reverence for their country
which will sustain them, and thus
create an uplifting inspiration for all
who are to come after them to live g
