Jenny Linds Graceful Tribute to Cur
National Flag.
There is q pretty story told of the
honor Jenny Lind once paid to the
American flag. 1t was when she was
in New York, more than sixty years
ago. The frigate st. Lawrence had
Just returned from a cruise, and the
midshipmen went to hear the Swedish
nightingale sing at Castle Garden the
alter, and the next day they called on
her In body. Their enthusiasm and
her graciousness soon brought about
a visit to the ship and the acceptance
of luncheon rendered her. When she
was about to leave the ship she looked
up at the stars and stripes and said:
II wish to salute your flag"
So, standing on the gangway, she
sang 1.-The Star Spangled Banner" ST.
lently from all over the ship men gath
cred with uncovered heads until the
ships family were all assembled on
deck. Nor were they her only audi
ence, for borne upon the still air her
song had been heard by many other
vessels near by, and when the won
drous voice ceased steamers blew their
whistles and eXultant cheers rose from
all sides, filing the harbor with their
tribute of applause for the beloved
artist and of loyal reverence for the
flag she had so beautifully saluted.-

Today's Meeting.
Or. HARRINGTON REELECTED

The board of county commission
ers is In deadlock over the naming
OF county attorney to succeed John
f. Halderman and so far there is no
way to cut the knot in which the re-
publican majority has been tied up.
Three secret ballots were taken
this morning In which Chairman Sny-
der, voted for G. L. Watson, the can
didate who has the backing of the
nrcgressives; VIM. Briggs voted for
j. f. Halderman, Che incumbent, and
II. w. Kluge cast his vote for Guy "
Sternberg, who is not a candidate for
the position.
As the three ballots showed no
change in the result, Attorney Hal
derman was sent for to again be the
legal advisor of the board for the
day. short conference was held
after the meeting by the republican
members of the board, but Commits
sloner Briggs showed no indication
of swerving from this intention to
vote for Halderman, although he had
been relied upon by Chairman Sny-
der to cast the deciding vote for Wat
son.
The action Of the republican board
is considerable of surprise: inas-
much as Commissioner Briggs had al
ways been looked upon as leaning to-
ward the progressiyes in tho county
and was counted upon then to vote
for Watson who is a law partner OF
Zen Griffith, the Bull Moose leader
on the western slope. On the other
hand. Chairman Snyder had always
been considered IS a representative
af- the old guards.spuhlicans in the
county. and 1t was hardly thought he
would vote for progressive.
The political dopesters still figure
that Watson will he given the county
attorneyship which had been promis-
ed to him, although F.. B. Welsh
claims that the postponement of ac-
tion will help his race.
Attorney Halderman will continue
to act as advisor for the board and
the legal representative of the county
and will appear in the suits now
nending in court, the commissioners
having unanimously made this re-
quest of him. No time for the cleo
tion of a county attorney has been
set.

The robbery occurred between 8

ing.
My reports are made to the comp
troller of the currency" said Mr..
Chapman, and the law provides no
way by which this information can
be given to the public. as in the case
OF state bank. The assignee of a
state bank makes his report to the
courts, and that information at once
becomes public.
81 will say this much, however.
The depreciation in securities in the
Mesa County bank affect in no way
either OF the other banks In Grand
junction. Nor does this deprecia-
tion affect generally the securities in
the valley or county. To the best Of
my knowledge the other banks are
in good condition and there was alb
solutely no justification for the run
last week.
IL am working in the interests of
the depositors OF the Mesa County
National bank. and am pushing the
settlement to a conclusion as rapidly
as 1t is possible TO do so. As soon
as there is u sufficient amount of
money on hand q dividend will be
paid to the depositors on the order
of the comptroller of the currency"
The depositors of the bank will be
required to make legal proof of their
claims in the usual order in order to
participate in the dividend. Mr..
Chapman said this morning that the
depositors and other creditors were
unusually slow in making these
claims, which should be hurried as
much as possible. The same proof
is required in the case of drafts and
