Russian Released
After Long Term

]. Alaske, the Russian who has been
in jail since July 5th, for wife-beating,
was enabled through the help of
friends in the east, to leave on the
morning train Tuesday for Omaha,
Nebraska.
Alaske told Undersheriff Beatty that
this was great country, If a man
couldn't whip his wife when he wanted
to. He said that in Russia they gave
it to them when ever they needed it.
1t seems that he was taken in once
and let go on promise to do better
and was no more than out when he
gave her beating that sent her to
the hospital. He was then given sixty
days. He had served about six weeks
Of his sentence when friends in Omaha
came to the rescue with funds to pay
costs, whereupon the Slav was allow
ed to leave for that point.
Mrs. Alaske drew what salary he
had coming and gave the grocery store
orders not to send her spouse any
thing in the future. as she would not
be responsible. Not even would she
pay for his tobacco.
We hate to think what would hap
pen to Mrs. Alaske if hubby would get
at her, some where off American soil
after that treatment He looked
mighty peeved the morning of his de-
parture.

Farmers Decide
To Build Canal

The farmers under the North Delta
canal met at the North Delta school
house on Thursday night of last week
and considered a proposition for the
purchase of the canal from the pres
ent holders, being the First National
Bank of Delta and the Colorado Title
and Trust Co.. of Colorado Springs.
The proposition was one which was
submitted by the committee Of land
owners and accepted by the banks.
which was SIS per share for stock,
payable one-third down. bala ice in
five years at per cent interest
1t was decided by the land owners
present that the proposition was a
good one and it now seems that the
matter, which has been long drawn
out affair is nearing satisfactory
settlement.

Is Midland Road
To Increase Line7

Is the Colorado Midland Railroad
company making preparations to build
its lines through Delta county?
The above question is now being
asked and the cause Of the interroga-
ton is the fact that reports come from
the upper end of the county. from
reliable men, that the Midland COM
pany has engineers in the field max
ing surveys.
The company has made no state
ment as the reason for doing this
work, but 1t Is commonly known that
the Rio Grande company and the Mid
land company have been having no
end OF arguments over the tracts be-
tween Grand Junction and Newcastle.
which is owned by the former and
for a number of years has been used
by both roads
We understand that preliminary
survey has been made. which would
take the line from a point near Glen
wood Springs. across by Marble and
Bowie. coming into this county about
Somerset. II is presumed that the
route from there would follow along
the North Fork line OF the d. & r G..
to Delta and Grand Junction.
There has been a well founded ru-
NOR for some time in Colorado Springs
and Denver to the effect that the
Midland would build on to Salt Lake
City. This sounds reasonable. as it
would then be able 10 handle the ore
from the copper mines at bingham.
Utah. which are owned largely by
Midland men.
How much this would mean for
Delta and Delta county, we wolld not
attempt to estimate. A second rail-
road and competing line for this
section would be OF untold value
Such an enterprise would develop the
country more than any o:her one
thing that could happen
Let us hope that they Will finish
the Job.

JAMES GREENWOOD ATTACKED
BY MEXICAN WITH KNIFE

Joe Atencio, a Mexican, who is al
legged to have owed James Greenwood
bill for several months, walked into
the place of business of the latter on
Tuesday of this week and told Mr..
Greenwood that he was going to pay
thought.
Mr.. Greenwood replied that he be-
lieved he was liar, to which the son
Of Villa objected, calling him a few
choice names and attacking him with
a knife, and saying that he would kill
him.
Someway Mr.. Greenwood didn't just
fancy the idea of being carved in such
a manner, but the greaser did manage
to inflict a cut to his right hand
which required several stitches and
rendered him unable to work for
some time.
AS soon as he could get his hands
on bar of iron, however, he gave
the Mex gentle tap on the side OF
his head that made him perfectly
tame for the time being. The injured
man was taken to DR.. Shaffer by one
Of his countrymen. where the lascera-
tion WAS dressed. It was reported that
his skull had been fractured, but un-
fortunately the blow wasn't of quite
sufficient force to result that way.
1t is to be regretted that Mr.. Green
wood was injured as badly as he was,
but he has been severely critised
for not getting a heavier bar of iron,
or else not bringing it down on the
victim with greater force

An interesting story came to our
ears this week concerning the early
career OF Fred King. our champion

II is said that when Fred was just
a small boy he was starting out hunt
ing one day with an old muzzle load
ing shot gun and came upon party
OF fellows getting ready for n trap
shoot. Among the gathering were
Jack Gale. Pete Hebler and other crack
shots of that time.

mot in moderation. Anyway, he'd al
ways liked old Tad; and to think of
him in want, who had been SO reful-
gent a figure in the life of town, would
be keen discomfort for his prospective
sOn-in-law. Peter dared say old Tad
could do with tidy bit of blackmail
something adequate and regular.
And he, for one, would never begrudge
1t.
But when five minutes had elapsed
Peter began to fidget. That's long
time to wait for a girl you're crazy
about, who has just owned up she's
crazy about you!
He consulted his watch: ten minutes
past eleven. Lydia had come to the
: Margrave about a quarter of: they
couldn't have been more than a quar-
ter of an hour coming up town. Peter
became convinced that he had waited
ten minutes, not FIVE.
Things began to look dubious. He
hoped out and up the steps of SO.
The outer door was fastened; but a
steady pressure on the push-button
brought shadow to skulk suspicious
