A BIG MIX-UP WITH
CLUBS AS WEAPONS
Six Thousand People Watched
Seventy Indians Fight.

The much-talked-of "Indian ball
game which was to have been played
two miles this side Okemah, Wednes-
day, proved 70 be one OF the most in
teresting affairs OF the season. The
expected happened and-there was no
ball game; but there was one Of the
hardest fights ever witnessed in This

all Of whom were more or less injured

vicinity and the latter Of Deep Fork,
we're the participants.
II Is estimated that the Indians and
the whites who gathered TO witness
proceedings numbered more than six

porters were campvd about a mile
apart, and at the given time marched
toward each other, erected the goal
posts. gathered In the center and be-
gan fighting, without so much as a
thought Of the ball. , -
The fight lasted about thirty min
utes without cessation, and finally re-
suited In the Newyarkers being driven
from the field,
During the fg;at, the women OF the
camps dashed water on the partici-
pants to keep them from being oyer
come by heat and eKertion Many Of
the Indians were severely injured and.
none escaped without bad bruises. Z
Fffty people or more from Weleetkas
were present and all were well paid

To complete the farce which the
union miners have been playing, many
of the men who went on strike went
to other sections and took the places of
the strikers in the mines. 1t is known
that in the Trinidad district many
union miners have torn up their cards
and have quietly returned to work by
the side of the hated "scab". Others
who have not renounced thcir allegi-
ance to the union but are stealthily
carrying their union cards while then
given the impression that they are
nonunion men are digging coal side
by side with those who repudiate the
unions. In fact one need not go to
Right here in Garfield county this
condition can be found and it is said
that some of the most ardent union
men who figured prominently in the
strike in this section are now serving
as strike breakers in other districts
And it is known that some of the
miners who were making from four
to five dollars for day of six to seven
| hours and who would not continue be-
cause some walking delegate told them
to quit, have since tried to secure
work on the section at the munficent
wages of 81 60 per day. And this is
latter day union consistency.

Sudden Death of Anna Barnes

Glenwood was shocked Thursday
afternoon when it became known that
Anna, the sweet little daughter of
Mr. and Mrs G. D. Barnes, had
passed away at 2:45 after an illness
of but TWO days. The little sufferer
had officiated at the organ in the
Christian Endeavor meeting on last
Sunday evening and her friends who
saw her at that time in the apparent
enjoyment CT good health were dazed
by the announcement that she was
no more. The cause of death was
cerebro meningitis.
That death loves shining mark
was never more fully exempli6ed in
Glenwood than in this case. Miss
Anna was known to everyone as one
of the brightest and most pleasant of
Glenwood children. She was a
leader among her associates and by
her amiable and lady like disposition
made friends of all who knew her
Out of respect to their schoolmate the
pupils in the high school Friday
morning draped the desk of their
friend and covered it with beautiful
flowers. They also asked that school
be dismissed for the day, which was
done
Miss Anna was thirteen years old
and unusually advanced in her studies
for one of her age She was the
only child of her loving parents who
seem almost inconsolable, SO great is
their grief.
The funeral will be held at two
o'clock this afternoon from the resi-
dence on Bennett avenue, Rev j.
Wilson Currens conducting the ser
vice.

Right You Are, Joseph

According to the Sentinel's report
Judge Stevens in his remarks at the
Democratic meeting at Grand June
tion the other day, essayed the old
political trick of riding two horses,
cantering gracefully about the ring
in opposite directions. He is said
to have approved the calling ont of the
state troops but to have condemned
the governor for declaring martial
law. That will do for political "gutf
but it wont do for the voter whc
wants to see the laws of the state up
held and expects to support the men
and party who have the courage to Ell.
force them. The public knows, quite
as we'll as Judge Stevens, that all the
civil authorities in Teller county
were in full sympathy with the
strikers, even to the extent of pro
tecting the thugs and assasins EN-
ployed by the Western Federation OF
Miners, and the only way to arrest
and confine these outlaws was in the
declaration of martial law.-DeBeque

County Commissioners.

The county commissioners held a
short session this week transacting
such business as was presented since
their last meeting. They authorized
their attorney to take up with Judge
Caswell of Grand Junction the ques
tion of salaries of water commissioner
Fravert and his deputies in the hope
that some agreement might be reached
whereby the officials should receive
their full salaries pending the present
litigation as to boundary lines.
Miss Fawcett of New Castle ad
vised the board by letter that she in
tended to fence her ranch without re
gard to the county road running
through the same and asked the com
missioners what they proposed to dt
with the road. They decided to d.
nothing with it except to protect il
from any distractions which Mis-.
Fawcett or anyone else might put il
the way.
The road on Battlement mesa was
accepted. A road from the Fisher
ranch to Cattle creek was decided or
and Lee Cantrell f. G. Miller and
J. P. Sommers were appointed view
ers for the same. Frank Cox was
appointed road overseer for district
number 8.
The bill of H. J. Holmes for print
ing list of nominations caused consid
cradle discussion and the board finally
cut the bill to $4s. so which was al
lowed.

The referendum vote of the United
Mine Workers by which that organ
ization has decided against general
strike is not only decided victory for
President John Mitchell whose efforts
in the labor troubles have usually been
along conservative lines but it is a
decided victory for the decent and
conservative element in union labor.
| 1t is one of the unfortunate facts in
connection with labor organizations
that frequently little handful of the
vicious of the laborers of any commu-
nifty can precipitate a strike and call
out hundreds of fairminded laborers
who are receiving good wages and are
satisfied with their lot These men
are too often obliged to obey the call
Of the disturbers and remain idle or
violate their union obligations and
remain at work at the risk of suffer
ing personal violence while the agi
tators responsible for the trouble often
make more money by reason of the
strike than they would receive in
wages and make it easier The Grip
pie Creek strike which has caused
such untold trouble, suffering and ex-
pense, through species of juggling
was ordered from Denver against the
wishes of fully 10 per cent of the
miners in the district The miners
in the eastern district do not seem to
have suffered from the blight of Moy-
erism and being left to express their
own views by the ballot have repudi-
ated the proposition to strike. This
is tough on the agitators some of
whom may be Obliged to work or
starve but is splendid victory for
honest labor and good decision for
the country at large

Judge Hallett of the United State,

Judge Hallett of the United States
district court rendered highly i'm
portant decision when he held the
other day that in determining ques-
tions involving disputed water rights
the. state supreme court was the final
authority. In other words state laws
govern in matters of this kind, and
since in the Interpretation of state
laws the state and not the federal
courts control, the latter have no right
to interfere. This is directly in line
with the position taken by leading
Colorado students of irrigation, and
it also is il harmony with the provi
sion of the national reclamation act,
which declares that state laws shall
control in irrigation.

The SeedIess Apple

E. l.. Green visited Glenwood last
Tuesday in the interest of the new
novelty known as the seedless apple
This apple which was propogated by
John F. Spencer of Grand Junction is
the only thing of the kind in the world
and although we now have a seedless
orange seedless grape and the core
less pear it remained for Mr.. Spencer
to produce coreless and seedless ap-
pie. This required great deal of
study on the part of Mr.. Spencer and
seven years of scientific experiment.
ing before he could say to his friends
that the thing for which he had 80
faithfully sought was now a real fact.
Mr.. Spencer now has five trees
which have produced seedlsss apples
for the past three years and 45 trees
which bore small crop last year.
These with 1000 other trees which
have recently become the property of
the Home Nursery company will bear
seedless apples the coming season.
The company of which john F.
Spencer Is president, D. Vallmer, vice
president and treasurer, E. L. Green,
secretary and W. C. Scheu business
manager, expects to place on the mar
ket next fall $50, 900 of the seedless
trees and not one will be sold for less
than two dollars. The trees will be
placed by agents representing the
Grand Junction house and by those
who will control county and state
rights.
Joe Selby and James Neal of Rife
have secured the exclusive right for
the state of Missouri while C. c..
Compton of Rife is negotiating for
the state of Michigan. w. R. Lee of
this city is stockholder in the new
corporation and has secured the
counties of Pitkin, Eagle and Garfield
for the sale of stock and trees.
The company has been incorporated
at $500, OGO and Mr. Green is having
no trouble in placing the stock with
the business men and farmers of

Do you want to lose Grizzly creek !
What a foolish question and yet such
was the title of circular issued the
first of this week by some one who
apparently preferred to conceal his
identity. The question is silly for
the reason that the man has not vet
been found who has any disposition
or desire to abandon the waters of
Grizzly creek. The present town
board has accomplished more toward
holding the waters of Grizzly creek
than was ever done before. So far as
the body of the circular is concerned
it is made up jumbled lot of misfit
generalities which have no bearing
upon the coming campaign and which
are not worthy of further attention at
this time.

Kansas has the distinction of being
the first state in the Union to hold a
state convention and the first to en-
dorse by direct resolution the nomina
tion of Theodore Roosevelt for the
presidency. Kansas was for so many
years the natural habitat for the wild
eyed. long haired dreamers known as
populists that the recent action may
be looked upon as of but little conse-
quence by those not posted as to the
facts. The truth is Kansas has en-
joyed such an overdraft of prosperity
during the past few years that popu
lism socialism and various other
''isms' have been compelled to take
to the woods while the republican doc
trines have steadily gained firm
foothold until Bleeding Kansas
can safely be counted on for Roose
