short time since of the departure OF
Floyd "Deafy" Hamilton as he was
best known, painter and decorator
located here for about a year. leaving
a number of creditors. Hamilton start
ed out from Delta without funds. it is
said. and IL therefore became neces-
sary for him to beat" his way west.
Since his departure nothing has been
heard OF or from him until the follow
in letter was received by |. c. Hall,
manager of the Grand Mesa Lumber
company in this city on Wednesday:

Keen Griffith who is pursuing a
course of studies at Colorado Springs
tells of great damage resulting to
property in that city from a recent
hail and rain storm in writing to his
parents in the Eckert district. He
says that some OF the hail stones were
more like boulders than pebbles and
that they beat down with great force,
crushing heavy plate glass windows
flower beds and gardens. This was
the storm when washouts occurred be-
tween Colorado Springs and Pueblo on
the Rio Grande and Santa Fe tracks.

MCFadden of This County
Threatens Libel Suit

Fadden demands that charges be i'm
mediately filed.
Mr.. Weiser stated this morning that
he had long since washed his hands
of the Woods McFadden outfit. You
can rest assured that l will do no pros
ecuting for them on such farcial COM
plants as these" he said.
Apparently Mr. Weiser has lacked
much of living up to the standard Nc
Fadden has set for the public prose-
cutor in this district for he says, in
postscript to the letter, that he has
heard nothing from any of the COM
plants he has made and demands i'm
mediate action toward the prosecution
of his many enemies
Il dislike to call this matter up to
the governor but ! shall do so if you
continue to neglect your duty" he
writes. Apparently therefore, If the
Sentinel is not charged with criminal
libel by Mr.. Weiser it will be up to
the governor to remove the district
attorney and appoint some one who
will be more patient with chronic liti-
gants.
The developments of Mr. McFad-
den's hopes will be watched with keen
interest for more and more his at
tacks are attracting the attention of

to predict, nevertheless something is

men state that so far as the roadbed
is concerned It is about ready now to
have the rails moved over from Crest

Complete $1,000
Mile Auto Trip

Mr.. and Mrs. II. S. Bagley, former
well known residents of North Delta,
have just completed the record dis
tance trip by auto that was ever made
by any person in this county-a little
less than twelve thouasnd miles. They
pulled in from the Pacific coast Tues
day in their Overland car and were
quite glad to end the journey and be
in Delta once more.
A little over year ago the Bagleys
stepped into the machine in front of
their home in North Delta and started
out on the drive to Iowa. They made
this trip in good order and after a
short visit with relatives and friends
they went on to Minnesota where an.
other short stop was made. Then
they headed for the Pacific coast and
upon arrival in California they took
apartments in Long Beach and rested
quietly for several months. The ex-
positions were attended. all the sights
of the entire coast were confronted
and they then entered upon the trip
home arriving here as above stated.
Mrs. Bagley states that the trip was
a good one but she doesn't care much
for repetition, at least not until an
extended rest has intervened. They
were well equipped with camp supplies
and could therefore be at home at any
time. No accidents of any kind result
ed to mar the pleasures and they were
extremely. fortunate in avoiding rain
storms or bad roads resulting from
such storms.

A libel suit is about to be or has
already been instituted against the
Grand Junction Daily Sentinel for the
neat little sum of 5000, 900 by Attorney
i. D. McFadden of Paonia. Mr.. Nc
Fadden's ire was aroused over recent
comments of the newspaper above
mentioned in connection with the pro-
motions and manipulations of McFad-
den himself, C. A. Wood and others
in connection with the Lilylands irri-
CATION and land projects. Referring
to the pending action or rather desire
to get the wheels of law in motion in
this matter, the Sentinel says:
Demanding that the Daily Sentinel
and its editor be charged with Grim
inal libel and threatening to call on
the governor to act if he neglects his
duty, William Weiser, district attorney
has received letter from /. D. Nc

been violated.
A recent editorial in this paper COM
menting upon the 100000 libel suit
against James A. Becker, Ben Griffith
and others is the source of the com

virtue and honesty of he and Mr..

Former Delta Painter
Killed BY Rio Grande Train

His description is as follows: Age
about As years; about feet in. tall;
dark hair: blue gray eyes; smooth
shaven; rather bald on top of head.
We are inclined to think that he
is a Delta man and if you could assist
us in locating some of his people the
same will be appreciated. Yours truly.
Henry East, sheriff of Utah county,
Utah.
L Mr.. Hall knew nothing whatever of
Hamilton. nor did any other resident
of the city, excepting that he came
in as tourist painter, hustled about
a bit and secured several jobs which
were completed in fairly reasonable
manner, and that he pulled out just
as he had come in. AS near as can
be learned he confided nothing of his
past to a single person. He had trav-
eled much but made no claims to a
home. He was simply a wanderer.
Later-Since the above was put in
type we learn that Hamilton's parents
and other relatives are residents OF
Ellington. Oregon. At least this is
what the unfortunate man stated to
one or more persons in this city short
" after his arrival in Delta. This may
enlighten the officers in a way that
they will be able TO locate relatives.

This morning I sent this letter to
Kitty;
You poor dear! cannot tell how
heartbreaking your letter was to me.
It seems so unnatural that a woman
should not want child and yet every
one with any sense must understand
that there must be a woman here and
there who doesn't indeed cannot re-
alize the life of a mother any more
than some women have no concep-
ton of the life of an artist.
Kitty, Kitty, I am sorry for you.
SOmeway I have always liked your
frankness, even when its subject
shocked me. You are not hypO-
critic, Kitty, whatever else you may
he, and as in my estimation hypo-
critic is the worst possible human be-
ing in all the world can forgive you
much. am sorry, too, for you, Kitty,
for you can never know that SUI
per1ative bliss that has been mine in
the anticipation of a coming child.
Nothing in this world is so wonder
full Your lovers first kiss, his frank
admiration, the joyous surrender
when you tell him that you will be
his wife-these are nothing in COM
parison to the happiness that is
yours if, you wish for child and ex-
pect that your wish will be gradfed.
