FARMERS
REGISTER KICK

A delegation from Fruita and vi
cinity has been in the city today for
the purpose OF interviewing County
Assessor Brown as to their high
taxes. They are certainly paying u
good deal more money than ever be-
fore and have a kick coming some
where. As matter of fact they will
find that their levies are higher in
almost every case. In the Union
High School district they are rais-
ing 81 1000 this year. while last year
they raised only s4.T00. They are
raising more for city taxes and for
schools in Fruita. No doubt there
needs to be readjustment of values
in the lower valley. great deal OF
the land should be listed as unpro-
ducive and then a low value could be
fixed, but If it is all listed as agricul-
tural land it would have to be as
sessed alike. 1t may take some
nerve to admit a part of the land as
but that is the only
way out of 1t.

MURDERED BODY IS
OBJECT OF INQUIRY

Coroner r. A. Yunker has received
dozen or more anxious inquiries
from people whose relatives have dis
appeared, asking for further infor-
nation about the identity Of the ca
daver found In box In the Fruita
cemetery last week.
One Denver woman says her hus-
band disappeared few years ago,
and she believes that she can identify
his skeleton. Several local people
have recalled disappcarances which
correspond with the probable
time of the death OF the man whose
corpse has been found, but any
marks of Identification are now quite
indistinguishable.
II don't think the mystery Will ev-
er be cleared up until the murderer
some days makes a death-bed con-
fession," said the coroner today.

al today by b. w. Snodgrass. super

WELL KNOWN IN
THIS CITY; SON
HAS HOME HERE
Indian School and Street Named
For Him; Owned Much
Local Property.
HAD HOST OF FRIENDS HERE

@ ENATOR Henry NJ. Teller. who
died at his home in Denver this
morning, was a well known fig
rre in Grand Junction, where he has
visited many times in the past and
where Tor quarter OF century he
has been quite prominently identi-
fled with the city's interests.
1t was his act as secretary of the
interior prior to 1883 which threw
open to public entry the lands in
Mesa county and the western slope,
and 1t was his ruling which at about
the same time allowed the man who
took up a land claim to borrow the
money on mortgage with which to
prove up and improve the land, thus
aiding very materially in the settle
ment of the valley.
About the year 1885 he was elect
ed United States senator after hard
fight, over y. =. Hin and Mesa coun-
ty had been with the latter in the
fight. James " Buekiin was i mem
ber OF the Legislature and was a
friend of rsfferrrr rrfe senator lHfd
his Influence toward the location OF
government school for tile Indians
In this county and this was finally
accomplished and the schol was
named Teller Institute" lt was
largely through the influence of Sem
ator Teller that the school secured
additional appropriations and that
II was not discontinued a few years
earlier than the final abandonment.
Later Senator Teller became furth-
er interested BY the purchase of a
tract of land northeast of the city
and 230 acres are yet held in the
family. A few years ago residence
was erected on Chipeta avenue which
WAS occupied by Harrison ]. Teller.
son of the senator. who also had
charge of the farm property and with
whom the senator and Mrs. Teller Of
ten made their home during the sum-
mer season. He made many warm
friends in this city and was always
greeted with pleasure when visi-
tor. For several years he made his
home during his stay at the old
Brunswick Hotel on the corner OF
Fourth and Main streets.
His son, Harrison. still calls this
city his home and the latter's wife
and family learned of Senator Tel
ler's death in a private telegram this
morning.
