ROAD SOON TO co

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DENVER. Colo, September 5.-An
auction price of s42, 100000 for the
Denver & Rio Grande Western Rail-
road will be insisted upon by Harold
Palmer of New York, one of the in
terveners in the sale and reorganiza-
tion of the system. Palmer appeared
last night before a general confer
ence, attended by Federal Judge J.
Foster Symes and attorneys and bond
holders in the case, to urge the higher
upset price.
Other attorneys urged a lower fig
ure, which, they argued, would insure
buyer and the elimination of the
reorganization plan as approved ten
tatively by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Calls Price Too High.
Petitions were filed by Harold Pal
mer and A. L. Fink elstein of New
York and Horace w. Bennett of Den
! yer to intervene in the foreclosure
brought by the Bankers Trust Com
pany of New York, trustee, in behalf
of approximately 81 per cent of the
holders of an issue of $3S, 900 900 first
mortgage and refunding bonds In
denying the petitions Judge Symes
declared the figure of $42,500,000 was
too high, and indicated definitely that
a lower figure would be set.
Palmer declared, however, that his
figure was based on estimates that
the road was worth at least $780,
100000
AS a result of the conference last
night, which followed Judge Symes'
refusal to recognize the petitions to
intervene, 1t was announced that the
railroad would be placed on the auc-
tion block within the next 60 days.
Final reorganization will be COM
plete before January /, 1925, it was
said. and control of the system will
pass to the Western Pacific and Mis-
souri-Pacif1c railroads.
Legal TanEle Ended.
Yesterdays action released the
corporation from a tangle Of litiga-
ton and meager financial backing
which has prevailed for two. years
: and which was accentuated after de-
fault of interest payment on the $685.
100000 bond issue.
Under proposed reorganization
plans. between ss,0o0.oo0 and s10.-
100000 of new capital will be put
into the road in addition to the
amount sufficient to clear up old
debts.

"In San Francisco? Heard him say

That's Carson for you! He

tories are. He's going to see silo,

have an idea it wouldn't do you any
harm, either, to look over what we are
doing down at the Lower End"
Again she paused. Then, her eyes
suddenly darkening, she told him what,
after all, lay topmost in her mind.
II have said that if I am given the
chance, | can make a go of this. It's
up to you, Bud Lee, to help see that l
get that chance. An attempt was
made to spread the lung-worm through
my calves. Now it's the hogs DO
you know what the latest news is from
the pens? There's cholera among
them"
'Where did 1t come frOm?" he de-
manded "Tripp's been keeping the
health of our stsck up right along"
"Where did it come from?" Judith
repeated after him. That's what |
don't know. We've been so careful.
But where did the calf sickness come
from? Bayne TrevOrs imported it,"
The inference was clear. He stared
at her with frowning eyes.
II don't see how he could have done
1t without Trips getting on to it. He
hasn't bought any new hogs"
"But you understand now why l
wanted to talk to you? If | win out
in the thing l have taken on my shoul-
ders, it is going to be by close mar
gin. I've thought 1t all out. We can't
slip up in a single deal But, it's up
to you to give me hand. TO find
out for yourself such things as where
did the cholera come from! To see
that nothing happens to your horses.
To keep your two eyes wide open. To
help me find the man, working with US
right now, who is dOuble-cross1ng us,
who turned Shorty loose, who is watch
ing a chance to do his knife act again
somewhere else. Do you get me, Bud
LeeY
81 get you," replied Lee
From without, gay voices, calling
merrily, interrupted them. Lee went
swiftly to the door while Judith fin
ished her coffee and pulled her broad
hat little loAyer to throw its shadow
in her eyes.
"Ahoy, there!" 1t was Pollock
Hampton's voice. 1--WE saw your horses
and thought we'd catch you picnick-
ing. Got fire going too! Say, that's
bully Come ahead, Marcia"
Marcia long riding-habit gathered
in one hand, her cheeks flushed with
her ride, her eyes bright as they rest
ed upon the tall form in the doorway,
came on behind Hampton. AS the
eyes of the two girls met, sudden
hot flush flooded Judith's cheeks. She
hated herself for Il; she won
dered just how red her eyes were.
"Say Judith" called Hampton,
'I'm glad as the dickens we found
you. Sawyer, the sheriff, telephoned
just now. Said to tell you he'd To-
Gated Quinnion. The funny part of 1t
Is that we made a mistake. 1t wasn't
