Practically the entire revenue of the

Of the king. When the Prince of Wales
reaches twenty-one he will. therefore,
come into possession of sum of money
amounting to at least s. 100000 repre-
senting the accumulated revenues from
the royal duchy.
In addition to the money accumulated
for the prince out of the duchy a good
deal has been saved out of the income
settled on him by parliament at the
king accession. An annual allowance
of $4,000 to be increased to $3.50 OGD
when he reached the age of twenty-on
was settled on the prince, and it may be
taken that the greater part of this sum
has been put by.

The marriage of the trailbuilder
to the romantic Massachusetts, artist
and nature lover was a picturesque

Farnham, on a western trip in search
of adventure and recreation, came
to Grand Junction to meet Otto of
whom she had read much. She Wis
tied him at his canon camp and they
were seen together a great deal. Her
ultra-Indian garb made her striking
nature the couple had many kindred
tastes.
Finally the engagement and CON-

the appearance of an attorney, the

ago. Now that Mrs. Otto presumably
will offer no further objections to
the suit and her attorney has with

PLANS FOR SETTLING HIGH LINE
MADE At ANNUAL MEETING TODAY
JUSTICE SWEENEY
IS CRITICALLY ILL

Joseph p. Sweeney, for over twenty
years justice of the peace in this
city, is critically i'll in st. Mary's
hospital as a result of a stroke of
paralysis he sustained early this
morning in his office. He was found
an hour or so afterward by friends
and removed to the hospital.
Justice Sweeney has been in poor
health for some time, and, fearing
that he might suffer an attack, Fred
Il. Jenkins asked the Mattresses at
the Royal cafe, where Mr.. Sweeney
took his breakfast. to notify him if
the judge failed to appear as usual.
This morning Mr.. sweeney did not
come to breakfast as usual, and Mr..
Jenkins was called. He hurried to
the Justices office, found the door
locked from the inside with light
burning. He managed to break in
through window and found the old
gentleman lying on the floor. A
stroke of paralysis had felled him.
He was dressed. given immediate
medical aid and is now resting as
well as could be expected in a room
at St. Marys. The Knights of Py-
thias, OF which he was long time
member, and scores of friends have
united to see that every possible aid
could be extended to the aged Judge.
He was, OF course, unable to preside
at the burglary hearing today. and
his ultimate recovery is in doubt, so
serious was the attack. Locomotor
ataxia and kidney trouble have com
piicnted the case. and the attending
physicians are unwilling TO express
an opinion as to his chances for re-
covery.
Besides his duties as justice of the
peace Mr.. Sweeney is United States
commissioner, and is also master of
the exchequer of the local knights
of Pythias lodge
The many friends of Judge Swe-
ney all over the city will hear of his
critical illness with deep sorrow and
