made him an offer that fairly dazzled
him. Seaton promised to think it
over, and friends who are in close
touch with the situation say that the
Feds will eventually get him.
Cassidy has been in organized base

MAKE Plan
TO REOPEN
MESA BANK
The Committee Dis
cusses Reorganization
With Stockholders.

The first formal steps looking to
the reopening of the Mesa County Ma
tional Bank We're taken last evening
at meeting between the local de-
positors' committee appointed soon
after the bank closed and the local
ockholders of the institution.
While at present no definite out
line of plans for reorganization can
be made, the depositors' committee
is hopeful that some arrangement
may be made by which the expensive
liquidation of the bank can be
avoided in the interests Of the de-
positors, as we'll as of the stockhold-
ers.
The majority of the stock in the
bank is now held by the First Ma
tionai bank of Denver-some $50
shares-as collateral, and the COM
mittee at its meeting last evening
realized that the first steps necessa-
ry would be a return of that stock.
Orson Adams has given power of
attorney to the committee to act in
regard to the stock. and it is expect
ed tina some amicable arrangement
may be reached with the Denver
holders of the stock, by which it may
be secured, and be used to work out
tne pldnS LOT TeOTSdulLdtioH.
Quite number of out-of-town
men are interested with local stock
holders and other business men in
the Mesa county bank in the reopen
ing of the bank. and it is probable
that depositors' meeting will be
called at an early date to consider a
plan for reorganization.
The tentative plan as outlined will
provide for an immediate payment
to depositors of 4 portion OF, their
claims, and further payment as
the various assets of the bank may
he realized upon. =

REPLIES TO
/. {. MULN|X

The following letter was sent ~
II. f. Mulnix today by l.. c. Worth
ington in reply to the remarks of
the latter concerning the Taxpayers
league:
Grand Junction, Colo.
-. February z. 1914.
II. E. aruinix, City
Sir: Basing this reply on the as
sumption that you were correctly
quoted in Yesterdays Sentinel, | de-
sire to state that I cannot see any
relationship existing between the
fact that ] am an exceedingly small
taxpayer, and the suit which has
been brought against you by Mr.. Jas
b. Hunter. This is especially true
because of the fact that | am not
party to the suit and my only activ-
ity so far has been in making a par
tial examination of some of the
county records. and the serving of
the necessary summons in this suit.
Insofar as the Taxpayers league is
concerned you will unquestionably
be convinced of the fact that it num-
bers among its members men of
prominence in this community be-
fore this suit is finished.
If ii is your desire to take the
taxpayers of Mesa county into your
confidence. would suggest that they
are far more interested in learning
what benefit, If any. they have deriv-
ed from the examinations YOU have
made of the county records, than
they are interested in knowing the
amount of tax paid bv any individu-
al. They are especially interested in
learning as to why you have failed
to discover or at least to report in
such a manner as to give them an
IDEA of the conditions that have ex-
listed, the thousands of dollars that
have been Illegally allowed and paid
by public officials. the records of
which should have been included in
your examination.
For verification that the above
condition has existed, | desire to call
your attention to the reports of the
present grand jury. at present out
on recess, made to the Honorable
Judge of the district court, and filed
October 25, 1918.
Sarcasm, Mr. Mulnix, is the cheap
est form of argument, and sarcasm.
tempered with vituperation. simply
tends to place one in his true posi-
ton before community.
Respectfully.

CLAIM
MAY Be SAVED

The claim against Mesa county

the county, Sh.eh it is contended
was stolen from the forest reserve
may be saved through the assistance
OF Congressman Ed Taylor.
The county commissioners wrote to
Congressman Taylor setting out the
facts in connection with the attempt
to collect from Mesa county, and in
sisting that the government should
not enforce the double payment for
the lumber in dispute.
This morning Chairman Snyder re-
ceived a letter from Congressman
Taylor in which he promised to take
the matter up with the proper gov
eminent officials without delay.
THE government is in pretty small
business trying to collect this money
from the county" said the congress
man. However, he added that prob
ably his opinion might not be the
opinion of the officers in charge of
the matter. but promised to do ev-
erything possible to prevent them
from enforcing their demands. He
stated that he had just been appoint
ed as chairman of the Michigan
strike investigation committee which
would require his services for a
month to six weeks but would devote
as much time to the matter as he
possibly could. Sen. Thomas is also
taking an interest in the matter and
will lend his assistance to securing a
proper consideration in Washington.

HUERTA QUELLS
CONSPIRACY TO
CAPTURE PALACE
General Banquet and Others of
Military Deny That They
Had Part in the Plot.
Associated Press.

Juarez, Mex. Feb. Information
OF the fate of ten Americans who
We're captured Mexican bandits is
still lacking today, although here the
railroad officials are still disposed
to discredit the rumor that they, or
at least six of them. were on the pas
senser train, locked in the train. and
were sent to their death into the blaz-
ing Cumbre tunnel. Circumstances
thus far learned are against the truth
of the rumors.
According to p. C. Thede. superin-
tendent in the Pearson plant at Ell
Paso, the train stopped at Cumbre
station. This is a quarter of mile
from the tunnel and the train could
not have gained sufficient momen-
tum In that distance to have caused
a wreck so complete that it would
have killed all the passengers. There
were about thirty-five Mexican pas
sengers aboard.
A rumor which was started by a
Mexican. was believed to have been
started for the purpose of delaying
pursuit of the bandits and prisoners.
There were six Americans on the
passenger train and four American
conductors and engineers on the
freight
f. C. Clark. DR.. f. C. Hurr and
four assistants left MADEIRA this morn
ing for the scene. A definite report
is expected tonight.
The gravest fears that the six
American railroad men and thirty
five passengers have perisehed are
expressed this afternoon by railroad
men here.
Two Mexicans who left the train
at Cumbre say the passengers were
not held up, but ran into the tunnel,
ignorant of the danger. None of the
crew or passengers have been seen
since.
