REAL BEAR DANCE
WEDNESDAY NIGHT
LIVE aGRfzLEY" WILL MAKE IT'S
APPEARANCES AT CARNIVAL
ASSOCIATION BALL AT KEY.
SER AUDITORIUM.

The "Grizley Bear" is not dead to
the dancing world as perhaps many
think, and to prove it the Carnival
Association has arranged for a real
live Grizley bear to make his first
appearance at the weekly dance on
Wednesday night at the Keyser hall.
1t is expected that large number of
people will be present to see Mr..
Bruin step out before the footlights
and dance the fox trot, the one step,
the zig gag, and other steps yet un-
known in Pensacola but gaining in
popularity and prominence in larger
cities. ''Pedro" the wonder of the
bear dancing world, has come to
spend the winter in Pensacola, and
through the kindness of Mr.. Sheesley,
his owner, the Carnival Association
is fortunate in being the first to intro
duce him to the dance lovers Of Pen
sacola. Depend upon it Pedro will
show steps and figures never before
seen amid silk and charm on floor
in this city. All desiring to do so can
dance the famous Grizley with him.
This novel feature is only one Of
many arranged for the Fraternity
dance ON Wednesday evening, Janu-
airy IL, as there will also be the Leap
Year Dance or the "Girls Choice"
which is full Of possibility, also the
franchise given to the young ladies
present will be interesting. Many
vail be there to see that his or her
favorite lodge gets the attractive
prize to be awarded.

The attendance in the schools has
been rather low this week on account
of the epidemic of colds which seems
to be sweeping through the town.
The students had a pleasant vaca-
ton while the teachers were attending
the Western Slope association. The
enrolment of the association is report
ed to be sos. About one-fifth of this
number came from Delta county. The
Delta teachers taking part in the pro-
gram were Superintendent Homberger
who gave the response to the welcome
address. A. j. Foster was chairman of
the grade teachers program; Mrs.
Cummings, Miss Briggs, Miss McIin-
tosh, participated in the discussions.
Judge Stewart was scheduled for an
address before the school board sec
son Normal was elected president for
next year and Prof. Hendershot will
have charge of the finances of the
association next year. A year ago,
when the association met at Delta, the
enrolment was three hundred. That
broke all preceding records. The
state association has invited the Wes-
tern Slope association to unite with
it and when the state meeting is held,
hold branch meeting at Grand juno
tion. It has also been suggested that
Grand TunctioD ba r,ada a narnapa1+
meeting place. The officers of the
association have not yet decided on
these propositions.
On Thursday and Friday of this
week occur the county examinations
for teachers. A number of high
school girls are planning to try thier
luck at them.

Alleged Night Raiders Kill
Over 200 Head of Sheep

nitely whether the scene of its occur
renee was in this county or Mesa,
The sheriffs office here stated that
nothing whatever had been reported
to 1t. or requests made for assistance
on the part of officers.
The sheep killing is no doubt an
outcrop of the old bitterness between
cattle men and sheep growers, of
which there was in earlier times much
blood shed and destruction of the
herders property.
The recent high prices of wool and
mutton has caused many farmers to
buy small lunches OF sheep, and 1t
was rather to be expected that there
would be revival of this class of
outlawry.
There is said to be little hope of
running down the sheep raiders.

ton ever so tempting.

The killing of about 200 head of
Lathrop's sheep at point near the
dividing line between Delta and Mesa
county and in the vicinity of Domin-

Wednesday morning OF last week

five o'clock and began shooting into
them. He made his getaway and
wired his employers as soon as he
reached telegraph station.

Fred Holmes Says Delta Will
Have Sugar Factory for 1917

In a telephone conversation from
Grand Junction Wednesday afternoon
Fred G. Holmes, receiver of the juno
tion factory said:
There has been no intention but
to go ahead with the Delta factory. 1t
was the original intention to build
and complete 1t this season in time
for the 1916 crop. Then we found it
would be impossible to get more than
a thousand bags of seed this year, no
more than enough to run the Grand
Junction factory, and the plan was
taken up to operate that factory this
year and to place 1t in a receivership
in order to clear up titles and untan-
gle tangles that resulted from its
merging with the factory in Arizona.
Il have already paid $4,000 on the
Delt a site, and within a week will pay
$4,000 more, fully taking care of that

Robert E. Gale was a son of John C.
Gale of Delta and was one of our
finest boys. He was born on the 9th
day of September, 1892, being %
years and six months old. At the time
of his accident he was in the employ
of the Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph company and was doing line
work, in this section, when he fell
from the top of pole to the ground.
His injuries were not supposed to be
serious at the time, but little later
were found to be of an internal nature
and he was taken to a hospital in
Denver, where an operation was per
formed, after which he was thought
to be on the road to recovery. After
number of weeks it was found nee
essary to perform a second operation,
and this was done, but he could not
rally from it's effects.
His father was with him from the
time of his relapse, and all possible
was done to save his life. One other
son, Edgar, remains in the family, the
mother having died some four years
ago. Forty-two automobiles formed
the procession which accompanied the
body to its last resting place.

MILITARY INSPECTION AND
BALL INTERESTING FEATURE

The Delta company of the National
Guard underwent very creditable in
spection on Thursday of last week
and the indications are that it will be
acceptable to the federal government,
under the provisions of the War De-
partment, and will receive its portion
of the annual federal allotments.
Captain Walter Bates of the United
States Army, was the inspecting Of
ficer in behalf of the government, as
sisted by Major George NJ. Lee. of the
Adjutant Generals office, at Denver,
representing the State of Colorado.
Major A. F. Reeves, battalion COM
mander, Lieutenant Dr. Meredith of
the Hospital Corps, and former Cap
tain A. F. Reeves. Jr., all of Montrose,
were in attendance at the inspection.
Thirty-eight men were on the floor
for the inspection ceremonies. out of
roster of 60 enlisted men. Several
of the members are temporarily at
work, or are visiting, out of the state
br county, and could not attend. The
inspection included both men and
arms. the officers and their personal
equipment. While nothing can be
positively known concerning the en-
act nature of the report that will be
made to the War Department by the
inspecting officer, yet Captain Charles

EXPRESS MESSENGERS BODY
HAS NOT BEEN FOUND

The clearing away of the wreck and
snow blockade which caused it, in
Black Canon. has. according to report.
failed to reveal the body of c. II.
Mathews, express messenger on the
Inflated train.
The express car was swept by the
slide into the river, but it was sup
posed that the body of the messenger
would be found inside the car when it
was raised from the water. This did
not prove to be true. as neither the
body was there nor the iron box OF
the company
The theory is advanced that the
heavy box broke through the door or
side of the car, and that the messen-
ger went with it into the river and
was washed down under the ice. in
which case his remains may never be
found, as much of the lower part of
Black canon is inaccessible at any
time of the year. especially during this
period this year.
The snow blockade at the scene OF
the wreck has now been thoroughly
cleaned up and trains from the East
over Marshall pass are making near
schedule time. The two men. Levy
and Mathews. are said to be the only
ones killed in Black canon since the
