Young People
Have Fine Time.

In the room of the Grand Valley
Commercial school last night a party
of about forty young people spent a
very delightful evening the guests of
the students of that institution.
Wednesday afternoon of this week
the High school and the Commercial
college palyed game of base bali in
which the High school came out vic
tors by score of 10 to 15. The Com
mercial college wanting to even up
the score invited the boys of the High
school tame with their ladies to an
oyster supper last night
Speeches were made by the captains
of both teams and also by the umpire
of the game, Mr.. Leonard. a Norman
elder who is at present working in
this city. AT a late hour after
number of games were played the
young people departed, highly pleased
by the manner in which the CONNER
cial college paid up for being beaten
at friendly game of base ball.

In the Downing case Hon. Horace
L. DeLong was the first witness. Mr.
DeLong gave Downing good reputa-

James Page of Whitewater. post

liar at times and also claimed reputa-
tion of defendant was good.
Supt. T. J. Lennon. of the Indian
School, stated ON the stand that he
knew the defendant since 1866. but
since coming to Colorado.
George Hughes of Whitewater stat
ed that the reputation of Downing.
so far rs he knew. was good in COM

not in right mind at time of trouble.

Wes Smith. the officer who made
the arrest on day of shooting was re-
examined and stated that defendant
appeared to be sane at time of arrest.

Edward L. Fleak said that he saw
the defendant before shooting and did
not consider him sane. There were
other witnesses, but all were practic-
ally the same. and the defendants at
torneys will try to prove that at the
time of the shooting Downing was
emotionally insane.
Leona downing, daughter of the
defendant, was placed ON the stand.
She stated that at no time her father
birth of her child ;but that at the time
she visited him in the county Jail,
after the shooting, he seemed to be
wild and took hold of her and shook
her; she also gave date of child's
birth.
The defendant lawyers asked for
recess of five minutes which was
granted them by the court.
This afternoon a number of wit
nesses were on the stand on cross ex-
animation. among the number being
j. S. Carnahan, Mrs. Georgia Jones,
W. A. Marsh. John J. Lumsden and
Judge Sweeney.
1t is not likely that the case will
come before the jury before after
supper and perhaps not before tomor-
row some time.
Both the attorneys for the state
and defense are making a bitter fight
contesting every inch of the ground.
In the objections made by the attor-
ueys. however, Judge Stevens gives
his decisions promptly and to the OBJ
server with general fairness to all
parties to the case.

Boxing Notes.

Abe Attel1 and Harry Forbes are carded
to set the pugilistic ball rolling at the new
quarters Of the West End Club next
Thursday evening. the match being the
third battle between the men.
AS the record now stands, Forbes has a
victory to his credit in a flfteen-round
30. fought before the West End Club, two
years ago, while Attell managed to draw
with Harry on their second meeting, six
round bout. in Chicago.
Forbes was in fine trim on the occasion
of the last match, and he put up terrific
battle. forcing Attell around the ring and
only being held down to a draw because
of the lishtning-like rapidity with which
Attell kept shooting his jabs into Harry's
face.
The third meeting is at a heavier weight

122 pounds-the legitimate feather-weisht
limit. 1t is announced as a match for that
title, and the two seem about the best
fighters that could be brought together at
the weight.
Forbes Is due to reach the city this
morning. He IS said to be in good shape
and the weight is said to suit him. Yet
Attells friends seem to have the greatest
confidence in their man, and If any betting
is done it looks as if Attell would prob
ably be a slight favorite over his oppo-
nent.

force. been delayed by the members of
the institution. This sudden calling of of
the contest at the eleventh hour was bit

fight.
