He is not blowing about what he can

that has ever come here that l know
of who really believes he has good
chance to defeat Frank Kramer.
OF course, Rutt will find many TO
disagree with him, but he has the
confidence just the same. The big

is also such a wonderful rider that
he is bound to win over the fans.
His first match race will be against

The defeat of Battling Levinsky by
Bob Mona at Milwaukee Monday
night is being explained away by Dan
Morgan, as result of an attack of
acute gastritis. We will take Nor
gan's word for it, but from what we
have seen of Moha his victory over
Levinsky didn't surprise us in the
least. Moha did some lighting around
New York and in one of his battles
he gave Eddie McGoorty a real old
fashioned lacing. That should have
boosted his stock, but it didn't, and
Moha, although a pretty consistent
winner, has never been rated very
high. He is short and chunky and
hits hard and often He is aggressive
and fights the body and wears his
opponent down Sick or no sick,
Moha. if he is out to win, has
license to beat Leyinsky and the fact
that he did beat the Battler proves 1t.

GRAvESTONE THAT

ORDER IN USE NOW
Buildings Erected Five Years
Ago Utilized For High Line
EMPLOYEES.

The substantial buildings and i'm

across the river and east from Pal
isade. which marked the former in
auguration of work on the High
Line canal on order of the Secretary
of the Interior James r. Garfield,
have been converted into quarters
for the men working on the big ditch.
The buildings have stood idle, and
were gradually falling into decay,
since Secretary Ballinger stopped
work on the canal, as soon as he had
been inducted into office. Previous
ly. the work was started on an agree
ment between the govrnment and the
Grand Valley Water Users Associa-
tion for division in the amount re-
quired for the work, and under that
contract these buildings had been
constructed at a cost of approximate
ly $4,000. When Ballinger took
office and ordered work stopped un-
til he had investigated the contract.
some few of the buildings were left
in an unfinished condition. and few
day ago they were completed for the
use of the men now at work on Tun-
mel No. 3.
The delay in securing permission
from the Rio Grande to use the right
of way for camp site has made it
necessary to utilize the old buildings
at once, and number of men are
now quartered there.

The commissioners do not have the

The deputy county clerk is ap-

the commissioners have three

Los Angeles, Cal, Jan. 7.-Efforts
to establish a motive for murder and
suicide which resulted in death of w.
NJ. Melton, an attorney; Mrs. Mary
Cox OF San Francisco. and the lat
ter's daughter Florence, aged 12, in

seen together they appeared the best
of friends. Nothing to indicate a
violent quarrel was heard before the
shooting.
One theory of the police was the
possibility that Mis-. Cox Was Jealous
of the attention that Melton paid her
daughter, who was in appearance not
more than II years old. After the
shots were fired the girl was heard
to scream, He's shot my mother. +"
Police believe the woman did the
shooting as Melton received four
wounds any one of which would have
been fatal. Mrs. Cox was shot but
once. The wound showed powder

CITY HEALTHY
IN PAST YEAR,
REPORT SHOWS
Death Rate Far Below Normal;
Urges Typhoid Vaccine For
All City Employees.

A death rate of 1O.4 per cent for
Grand Junction during the past
year is the computation of DIR. Carl
w. Plumb, whose annual health re-
port to Commissioner Holmburg was
filed late yesterday afternoon.
The oity's health is far above the
average and today there is not a
single communicable or contagious
disease in the city. The birth rate
for the year is also high, there being
1873 births of which 81 were girls and
II were boys.
There were 10 cases of typhoid in
the city during the past year. only
one OF which proved fatal. There
were six cases of scarlet fever. two
of diphtheria and nine of small pox,
all of whom recovered and the pa
tients have been released from quar-
antinc. or the l04 deaths. nine were
the result of tuberculosis contracted
elsewhere.
There were / 8 violent deaths dur
ing the year, five by suicide, one
from burns and nine from various in
1uries.
DR.. Plumb has compiled statistics
showing the deaths by months in the
year, by race, sex, social condition,
occupations and disease.
Dir. Plumb points to the stamping
out of typhoid in the army and navy
by the use of vaccine and urged that
all city employees be vaccinated every
two or three years at the city's ex-
pense.
The public health is now above
normal and the death rate below"
says the report. and he gives credit
to the management OF the water sys-
TEN, the activities of Commissioner
