MRS. JNO. BROWN
IS HEIRESS TO
A LARGE ESTATE
Wife Of County Assessor E1-
peCted to Participate in
Division Of a Fortune.

Mrs. John T. Brown. wife of Coun-
ty Assessor Brown. this morning re-
ceiyed letter from relatives in Iowa
which gives her decided encourage
ment to believe that she will partici-
pate In the immense estate OF Ethan
Stone. who died fifteen years ago in
Cincinnati a multi-miIlionaire.
His Will provided that his property
should be divided among his blood
heirs. The will was drawn up in the
office of the father of Former Presi-
dent Taft, who was then district
Judge and the representatives of Mrs
Browns branch of the family have
received favorable opinion on the
VIII from no less authority than the
eX-president.
The executors, il is understood,
have been accused of attempting to
defraud the heirs of their share in
the estate. Mr.. Brown believes that
at least 500 heirs will participate in
the estate.
II have no idea Just how much
property there is in this big estate, -
said Mr.. Brown today. Much OF 1t
has probably changed hands for it
includes several large business blocks
in the business center of Cincinnati
death of Ethan Stone some of the
property has been transferred with
out proper authority. This can of
course be recovered. Frank Reeves,
from whom Mrs. Brown heard today,
is the man who has delved into the
matter more than any of us and IL
was-he who secured the opinion OF
Pfesident Tart as vel as SIX other
famous attorneys. He says that
when the property is divided that
there will be enough to make every
heir comfortably wealthy for the rest
OF their lives. So | infer the estate
has greatly increased in value even
though it amounted to millions when
Stone died.
John and Robert Anderson, on
Orchard Mesa, Will also participate
in the estate IL the contentious of the
heirs are upheld. The families of
Reeves. Anderson and Livermore are
interested in the estate.

G0SLEN LOSES IN
SHEEP DIP CASE:
UTAHB0ARDW0N
$4,000 Head of WooIies Must
Be dipped" at Cost Of
More Than $1,000.

Walter T. Goslen must dip $4,000
sheep in the flock he moved from his
Mesa county range into Utah last
spring. and pay all the costs of the
litigation he commenced last fall
when an attempt was made to en-
force an order on him to prevent the
spread of scabies. The decision was
handed down from the district court
in Price when a temporary injunction
secured by Goslen was dissolved.
Last August the board of sheep
commissioners in Utah issued an or
der that all sheep from Colorado
brought into Grand county must be
dipped for scabies. This was in
compliance with a law recently pass
ed by the Utah legislature. Goshen
refused to comply with the order and
was hailed before the board. He con-
tinued his protest. and when the
federal inspectors and state deputies
arrived on the ground at Thompsons
to enforce the regulation Goshen or
dered his men to tear up the pipes
supplying the dipping watts. When
this was done nostilities seemed i'm
minent. but kilograms were received
from Salt Lake announcing that
temporary injunction had been pro-
cured by Goslen to prevent the en-
forcement of the order Since that
time the matter has been hanging
fire. 1t was transferred from Manti
to Price last January and finally
came up for hearing few days
ago.
Mr. Goshen is angry at the dissolu-
ton of the Injunction and faces the
expense of some $4,000 in dipping
his sheep with poor grace. He says
his sheep are not infected. and he
ought not to have to stand the ex-
pense placed ON him by the commits
sion's order and the governmental
regulation.
A. r. Callister. secretary of the
Utah board, made the following
statement in Salt Lake City yester-
day;
This case has been watched with
considerable interest by a number of
sheepmen in the state. as number
of flockmasters have contended that
the board didn't have the power to
compel the dipping of sheep unless
they found infection existing.
The majority of sheepmen Will
welcome this decision, as it means
that the law which the flockmasters
were instrumental in having passed
at the last legislature has stood the
test Under this new law the disease
of sheep scabies has been practical
ly eradicated. but ii was more or
less difficult under the law which
existed before this one to obtain
satisfactory results.
THE board believes that the
sheep are in such n condition
throughout the state at the present
time that it Is not necessary now to
issue an order compelling the dip
ping of all sheep throughout the
state, but just in certain sections or
counties where It is ascertained that
the infection exists or is likely to be
introduced

Cartoonist Is
Coming to Wy"

James b. Barkley. one of the fore
most cartoonists and clay modelers
in the United States. will appear be-
fore Grand Junction audience one
week from tonight, the 23rd of
April. He comes here under the
auspices of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association and will give his
lecture in the gymnasium of the Y.
Mr.. Barkley was for twelve years
practicing lawyer in the town of
Moulton. Ia, and about that time
discovered that he had talents in car
tooning and clay modelling. Since
then he has been continuously on the
stage and on lyceum bureaus.
The attraction which the Y. NJ. c..
A. will give is not on the lyceum
course which will start next fall, but
is a single entertainment which they
were able to secure. There has been
some talk of charging no admission
price and the matter will be threshed
out at the regular meeting of the
board this evening.

LOCAL INVENTORS
BUILD CYCLE CAR;
MAY OPEN FACTORY

Grand Junction may be selected as
the site for the first cycle car factory
west of the Mississippi, If the plans
now well under way by two we'll
known local young men materialize.
For several months local men have
been busy in the repair department
of the Western Slope Auto Company
spending all their spare time manu-
featuring cycle car. which as time
progressed, grew more and more
real until last evening the first test
of the finished car was made.
The two young men in question are
NJ. F. Butler, who is employed as
mechanic in the garage. and Harry
McCurdy of the United States bank.
Mr.. Butler has done most of the
work. assisted by Howard Piatt and
others interested.
The machine itself which has as yet
no name, is thought by those who
have watched its progress to be the
lightest cycle car now made and
has several features which are bound
to make it a success The ideas are
original with the makers and some
are decided innovations. 1t is equip
ped with seven horsepower r. S.
motor, which gives ample power. The
" Httl DdSt Is lVt anu lut
seats are placed in it, tandem fash
ion. The seats themselves are fitted
with a unique spring which insures
the rider comfort. The power is
transmitted to the rear wheels by
"A wye belt.
Perhaps the most radical depart
ure from the established method is
in the transmission which is the
simplest made. The device is pat
entable, and is well protected. 1t
consists OF two sliding desks, con-
trolled by different pressures which
insure different speeds to the motor.
The whole machine when complete
weighs only about $50 pounds. and
is lighter than most motorcycles. AT
the first trial last evening everything
worked in fine shape. The owners
have not definitely decided what they
will do with it, but it is understood
that they have received several fine
offers.

Setting Hens Hide
Booze; Wallis Has
Fine Whisky Scent

= Buiitu IL. the hay under a setting
hen in a chicken house. Chief OF Po-
lice Wallis yesterday afternoon
found several bottles of whisky.
What mental process led him to un-
cover the booze in its secret hiding
place is a mystery to his friends but
unquestionably he has qualified as
a sleuth by his act.
Yesterday the chief and OFFICER J.
j. Allison decided to search Il house
in the western part OF the city for
bootleg whisky They went through
the house with fine-toothed comb.
They looked in all the usual hiding
places for the stuff and finally had
to give up the search 20 far as the
house was concerned. Wallis, how
ever, was not satisfied. He took a
slant around the place and then came
back and asked for the chicken house
key. It'wasn't forthcoming very fast
but when he threatened to tear off
tho lock the key was produced. He
looked around in the chicken house
while and still the search WAS vain.
Then he spied those hens Three
motherly old Plymouth Rocks were
disturbed in their nests in the hay
and under each, with dozen eggs
were four or five bottles of "Old
Grandad.
The whisky was confiscated and
the owner warned to stop his distrib-
uting, but more than all else. the
bcotlegger is wondering what sort of
a ferret the chief is TO locate the
contrabrand liquor when the only
folks who knew about it was himself
and the hens.
