REED ESTATE

Some 1900 people attended the sale
of the few remaining tracts of land
in the Golden Hills ranch at Iona yes
terday, when few tracts remaining
were disposed of at auction, as well
as the machinery on the big ranch and
the town lots in Loma
The crowd was not quite so large
as on the preceding day when 1900
people were estimated to be at the
opening of the sale. Jeff Payne, who
invested in part of the Cross ranch
that was sold in the same way, con
tinued to express his confidence by
purchasing the Home place for $4,000
for the 100 acres.
John Heron of Iona bought 35 of
the lots sold in the townsite and 9TH
ers bought whole blocks. All but one
OF two of the lots or blocks were sold
to local people.
The total sale Of property, both real
and personal, amounted to about $780,
900, which is considered most satisfac-
tory in the aggregate. The exact fig
ures could not be secured, as the totals
have not yet been made. The owners
were highly pleased with the outcome.
One remarkable thing about the
sale-as well as that of the Cross
ranch-was the confidence displayed
by the people of the Grand valley To-
cally. The land was practically all
sold to local people, which was decid-
edly remarkable and gives the best
evidence that the people who live here
are the best judges of the value of
our lands and they know this is one of
the very best sections in the country
from an agricultural and horticultural
point of view. They are willing to
back their faith with their money,
and this was plainly in evidence.
Thus is concluded another sale of
gigantic magnitude, something never
attempted heretofore in Colorado. j.

passing through Kansas on their way
west, 1000 painted Indian braves
crossed their path and one old chief
wanted the "pale face squaw," first

Edison saw three lads, his companions,
scalped by Indians.
In the spring of 's2 they moved to
Glenwood Springs and located ranch
on what is a part of the townsite of

of finding, another fortune in mining.
His widow and two sons then moved

reliance in adverse circumstances, after
having enjoyed the many comforts
that money brings, made her deeply
respected by all who had the pleasure
of knowing her.
She leaves two sons, Edison and

her. Interment was in Hill Crest Gem
