spection before making a report. The
tour started at Alamosa. came around

EUROPEAN WAR NEWS
UP TO THURSDAY EVENING

All reports up to the time of going
to press at 5 O'Clock yesterday even
ing seem to indicate that the Ger
manic forces are about to begin one
OF their greatest efforts in the present
struggle against Russia and that
Warsaw may fall in the contest
though Russia is preparing for the
engagement and may hold the po-
sftion.
General Won Woyrich won an i'm
portant victory over the Russians
south of Ivangorod. The Russians
tried vigorously but vainly to recover
the lost ground.
In Courland the Germans are now
within s5 miles OF Riga, and the Ger
mans are within range of the guns of
Nova Georgievek. 1s miles from War
NV
ny, German capture of Riga will
force the Russians near Shawl and
Mitau to retreat, as Riga is their
base OF supplies.
The German advance in the Bal
tic provinces indicates that the plan
is not only the capture of Warsaw
but also to cut off the retreat of the
Russian armies by placing forces be-
tween them and Petrograd. This
puts Grand Duke Nicholas in an en-
barrassing position. An obstinate re-
sistance and too long a delay in
evacuating Warsaw may endanger his
retreat and expose the Russians to a
crushing disaster. On the other hand
the Russians may pierce the extended
German line by counter offensive
II weak spot can be discovered.
The presence OF landwehr and land
sturm troops on the Russian front is
taken to indicate that the Teutons
are exerting every resource at their
command to crush the Russians.
Meanwhile there is little activity on
the Western front.
The Italians and Austrians are still
fighting along the Isonzo.
The Russians show increased power
of resistance as the Germans come
nearer Warsaw.
Rome claims advances in the Isonzo
region and most notable gain on
the Corso plateau; but Austria denies
Italian progress.
There is little activity in Belgium
and France.

Court of Appeals
Being Discussed

The state court OF appeals OF which
Judge A. r. King OF this city. was a
member from the time Of its inaugura-
tscs into sssvice to the time limit
given for it's lie. June last. Is now
the subject OF considerable newspaper
discussion on the western slope and
other parts OF the state. and from one
Of the Denver dailies OF recent date
we quote as follows:
"The state court OF appeals ceased
to exist June 8. and every opinion the
Judges of that court have given since
that time is invalid. according to the
contention OF a number OF attorneys
who are planning to bring court action
to uphold their position.
SHOULD the attack on the court be
upheld. 81 opinions given since the 5th
OF June would be vacated and the
cases would be left pending to be dis
posed of In some manner not determin-
ed by statute.
"The contention OF the attorneys is
based on the fact that the act which
created the court for period OF four
years was filed with the secretary of
state, without the signature OF Cover
nor Shafroth. June 5. 1911.
Governor Shafroth took the position
that the act did not become effective
until the time expired when II might be
referred. He therefore waited until
August s to announce his appoint
meuts TO the bench of the newly Great
ed court The judges did not take
office until October.
According to Judge Cunningham.
presiding Judge OF the court of appeals
a legal test of the position taken by
some attorneys would be welcomed by
the court of appeals. Should ii be de-
cided that the court went out OF exis-
tence June 8, however. there would be
considerable doubt as to what disposi-
tion should be made OF the cases left
on the docket.
''ln the act which created the court
a clause provided that any cases left
pending when the judges went out of
office should be disposed OF in man.
ner ito be hereafter determined by
the Legislature" No subsequent pro-
vision for the disposal of such cases
was made. the supposition being that
the cases would be transferred to the
supreme court.
The question as to the validity OF
the opinions given by the court OF ap-
peals since June has been raised by
attorneys in Grand Junction, several
cases having been decided recently
which are of special interest to that
locality"

Delta Beet Workers Have
Battle on Monday Ni8ht

his back around to the intestinal part
of his body was not hurt much and he
it was who sought to invoke the law
by way of successful adjustment.
He came into Delta at s o'clock. swore
out warrants and had Sheriff Davis
and his deputy, Joe Harrington. come
upon the scene and take charge of
Amarandi and Blair.
The officers got there at about .
o'clock and found Anarandi, the fell
low with his scalp almost removed
and face covered with blood sitting on
the ground near fence with his body
propped against post. The other
wounded man was in another spot on
the premises and both were loaded in
to the sheriff's auto and hurried to
town. One was placed in Jail at once
and the other taken to a local surgeon
where many stitches were required
in getting the scalp fastened where
1t belonged. This completed and he,
too, was taken to Jail.
Anarandi, the fellow coming out of
the fight third best with serious scalp
wounds, was charged with assault
with a deadly weapon by Pacheco, or
"Curlie" as he is generally known
about Delta, and his hearing was held
before Justice Fairlamb yesterday.
Decision was deferred until today or
tomorrow.

Failure of Rate Cases is
Complete by Commission

reasonable. The lack of a bulk ap-
pie rate received greater considera-
tion, however. and the commission
showed disposition favorable to the
institution of the rates which were
asked for.
Commissioner Henry Clay Hall. who
wrote all three decisions, declared
that. II the lack of a tariff caused
apples to rot on the ground. to be
fed to hogs or used for the cider mill,
It was an economic waste. resulting
in loss to producer, consumer and
in tonnage to the railroads. However.
no order was issued: but the railroads
were advised to cooperate in prepar-
ing such a rate to avoid losses in the
future.
The green-fruit rates were not
shown to be unreasonable or un5ustly
discriminatory by the commission.
and the same finding was reached as
to potatoes, onions and other vege-
tables
The commission says that the $40
charge for refrigeration is not larger
than other and similar tariffs that
have been approved by it in previous
cases.
The third case was an attack on
the rates from California points of
origin TO Delta and Montrose counties.
Again using the branch-line argu-
ment and comparing the Rio Grande's
rates with the Union Pacific. with
its shorter and easier haul. the com
mission finds that the complaint was
not well founded. and like the other
cases. Il was dismissed.

PaOnia Defeated
BY Olathe Team

The Paonia baseball team is not in
good form this year according to re-
suits in several games pulled off this

may be that other teams on this side
of the Rockies are doing better work
than ever before. For several years
past Paonia has held the Western

ficult matter for them to do so. A
week ago last Sunday the Fruita team

game to 4. and with this grief
the defeated bunch went over to Ola

get fresh scalps but were again to
acquire new sorrows.
The two teams lined up on the Ola.

they hoped to hold the Olathe slug.

soon solved all this mystery. however.
and before the contest was closed had
put eleven men around the circle to
home plate with scores.
Neil held the points for Olathe and
proved himself a wonder. The peach
pickers were simply at his mercy. But
one man could find the ball. accord
ing to reports. and this very lightly.
One man was already on the bases
and eventually got to the score book
with a run. The defeat was positive
Ii to in favor OF Olathe.
And another Delta county team ac-
cepted overwhelming defeat last Sun
day afternoon when Austin thought to
line themselves up against Montrose
on the latter's diamond. At the finish
the score was 20 to in favor OF Mont
rose.

The Law Against
Water Overflow

Most farmers of this county have
always been careful about letting
water get away from them during
irrigating season and flooding public
highways, much to the Inconvenience
of auto and other drivers. but occa-
sionally those drivers would come
across a place sufficient to put them
up against it, in the western YER
nacular. in working their way over
the mud hole or washout as the case
might be.
And in this connection we might
mention that there is 5000 fine and
Imprisonment prescribed as a penalty
for those who are charged and found
guilty of letting water run over the
public roads. This law was enacted
at the last session of the General
Assembly being proposed by Senator
II. w. Kluge of Palisade, and 1t is
now in force. The public prosecutor
of this district states that he will en-
force the law to the letter and IT
may be well for all to know its exact
terms. Here it is:
A BILL
For an Act to prevent persons from
flowing water or allowing water to
flow upon public roads and high
ways. and fixing penalty therefor:
Be it enacted by the General Assem-
bly, of the State of Colorado:
Section l. That no person, persons
or corporation shall willfully or neg
ligently cause or allow water to flow
from any ditch. lateral, canal. waste
ditch, reservoir. pond drain, flume
or other artificial watercourse, in or
upon any public road or highway so
as to damage the same or to cause
the same to be inconvenient for travel.
Any person. persons or corpora
tion SO offending shall, upon convic-
tion, pay a fine of not less than ten
dollars tS10) nor more than three
hundred dollars $4,000 or be com
mitted to the county Jail for a period
OF not to exceed three months. Each
day that water N allowed to now upon
any public road or highway shall be
deemed to be a separate offense.
Section 2. Justices, OF the peace of
the county wherein any of the Of
fenses herein described may be com
mitted shall have Jurisdiction of the
complaints coming within the provi-
sions OF this act.
Section 3. All acts and part of acts
in conflict herewith are hereby re-
pealed.

Copies OF the decision Of the in
terstate commerce commission In
diminishing the three complaints Of
the Delta Montrose Freight Rate As
sociation were received today by the
Chamber OF Commerce and confirm
the beliefs, based upon the tele-
graphic announcement Of the ruling.
that the defeat Of the complainants
was sweeping and complete.
The fact that Montrose and Delta
are on branch lines and not on a
main line was made the basis Of dis
misal in two OF the cases. added to
which was the evidence that they
were not entitled to participate in
Grand functions freight-rate victory
Of few years years ago because they
were not intermediate to Grand juno
ton. and that the carriers were not
bound to extend the reductions to
their branch-line territory.
The first case was an attack on the
class and commodity rates from Mis-
souri, River common points and points
east thereof 20 Montrose and Delta
county points. II was disposed OF
quickly after the commission explain
ed its position as above outlined.
The second case was an effort to
secure reductions in the rates on
green fruits and apples from Mont
rose and Delta counties to various
points east OF Colorado and to force
the publication OF a bulk apple rate
The evidence on apples in packages
was described as meagre and not
sufficient to Justify an order deciar-

Delta Girl Wins
Favor on Piano

Miss Bertha Clark, teacher OF piano

musical entertainment given in the
opera house At Clenwood. Iowa. where
she now lfses. by Blind Boone. the

OF a certain number on the most ex-
cellent program being presented II was
urged that some Glenwood pianist
come forward and play difficult
piece. Miss Clark was finally prevail
ed upon by her friends and we here
with quote a comment appearing next
day in one OF Gienwood newspapers.
"Mr. Lang. the manager. called for
new piece no matter how difficult and
Mr.. Boone would Immediately repeat
II. Miss Bertha Clark. teacher Of
piano music at the state institution
here. was prevailed upon 20 go for
ward and play. Mr.. Boone said he
had never heard II before and that he
would like to know It's title and the
author thereof. He Immediately went
TO the piano and as good judges say.
repeated the selection verbatim. Mr..
Boone then paid a very high ccmpli-
ment to Miss Clark. He said the
music was very difficult and that
II must have been produced by some
Of the celebrated musical composers
OF the day. He said Miss Clark had
played II with remarkable skill and
touch and that Glenwood ought to feel
proud that she had within her midst
a lady OF such rare musical ability"
