Arrests Made
Under New Law

Nine complaints were sworn out
first of the present week against that
many members of the Uncompahgre
Ditch company and six of the number
were taken in by local officers on the
charge of allowing water from their
canal to overflow the public highway
at points some mile and a half or two
miles south of town. The overflow
caused considerable Inconvenience to
autoists and others driving along the
road and complaints were therefore
made, eventually resulting in arrests
mentioned.
The six men were before Justice p.
f. Coombe on Wednesday when the
hearings were postponed until Tues
day of next week. These are the first
actions begun in this county under a
law passed at the recent session of
Colorado's legislative body where pen
alties are prescribed. and the outcome
will unquestionably be OF interest to
our farmers and irrigators.

Olathe POStOffice
Robbed of 500

Last Friday morning word came to
this city that burglars had entered
the Olathe postoffice at some hour
during the night preceding, and blown
up the large safe standing in con-
spicuous corner of the Main street
room with dynamite and got away
with sl0O in money. stamps in an
amount as yet unknown and money or
der blanks from numbers 34,975 to
$4,000.
The burglars proceeded very quietly
about their work and were quite sue
cessful in blowing the safe without
attracting attention of residents. many
of whom reside in close proximity to
the postoffice. Several claim to have
heard mild report at some hour dur
ing the night but gave it no further
thought.
When Postmaster John Uglow came
upon the scene Friday morning he
found the great safe door lying on the
floor in front of the safe and fur
ther Investigations disclosed details of
the robbery. Other parts Of the office
showed no signs whatever of the mid
night marauding and there were no
clues by which to begin a search for
the thugs. Sheriff's forces in all
parts OF the Western Slope were notifi-
ed of the burglary as were also gov
ernment detective forces in Denver.
All are busy in an effort to locate
clues and It is not unlikely that some
point will soon be gained which will
lead to the arrest and conviction of
the guilty parties.
OF course ready cash will come in
all right for the yeggmen but they
cannot get action on either
the stamps or blank money orders.
Uncle Sam is the most unrelenting
victim of the country and 1t is hardly
possible for the burglars to get away
with his money and supplies. He will
pursue to the bitter end.
Delta county officers are keeping a
close watch for suspicious persons.
but up to the present time no arrests
have resulted.

1t is learned upon good authority
that one of the principal features in
President Wilson's plan to be prepared
for a national defense. is to utilize
the national guard as the nucleus
about which to build up and maintain
trained reserve force to constitute
the first line of defense. This plan
carries with it the complete federaliza-
ton Of the national, entirely elimin-
ating state control or state influences.
The national guard will then be re-
lieved from the necessity of perform
ing police functions in behalf of the
state and become in reality, what it is
in name, a national guard. The plan
also includes pay for the membership
of the guard on a basis of proportional

wherein no member is allowed to be
n stockholder who is not an actual

are chartered to handle. In other
words the cooperative law as 1t is
today means strictly cooperation for
members only.
The officers are as follows: James
Armand. president; w. ]. Barrow. vice
president: J. NJ. Compton. secretary
treasurer: c. Bowen, manager The
board Of directors are A. Linn, c. l..
Greenwood and A. C. Ellington.
The association is expecting TO mar

DELTA N. G. C. TO GET IN FORM
FOR PROPOSED ENCAMPMENT
TO BE HELD AT MONTROSE

work required to be done to maintain
efficiency. A bill comprising the
above features, which has the approval
of the war department, the regular
army organization and the national
guard officers, has been prepared by
Senator Chamberlain and will be in
troduced by him at the next session of
congress.
In order to meet with present fed
eral requirements there is consider
able activity among the members OF
Company G, End Inf. n. G. c., the
Delta organization. Arrangements
are being made for a battalion en-
campment at Montrose beginning
about the middle of September and
Captain Charlesworth has promised
headquarters that he will take 40 men
from Delta to the camp. Quite num-
ber of new enlistments are being
made, and between the Paonia and
Delta detachments there are now 90
men on the company's roster. 1t Is
saiG that probably a dozen Of these
gency, and a few more enlistments
are being sought in order to make up
the desired number. Major Reeves of
Montrose will be in charge of the
camp and Captain w. T. Bates, U. s. A
Infantry Instructor Inspector for Colo
RADIO. will be on hand to supervise the
camp details and the work of the men.
Some of the former members, whose
terms have expired, are rejoining the
company, and this is regarded by the
officers as encouraging.
Several thousand dollars worth OF
new clothing and equipment have been
sent by the federal government for
the use of the guard in Colorado, and
it is now anticipated that the guard
in this state will soon be among the
best equipped organizations in the
country.
