DENVER GARNITAS
WIN BOTH GAMES
Visitors Fielding and Batting Wa,
Best Seen on Local Diamond
This Yedr----GlenwOOd
Fielding Poor
800 PEOPLE SEE SUNDAYS CANE

Well, the Garnitas have come and
gone, and, incidentally they departed
with the scalps of the Pets dangling
at their belts
While it was expected by the ma
jority that Glenwood would be defeat
ed by the champions there were few
loyal fans that believed the Pets would
at least secure an even break How
ever the fast fielding and hard hitting
OF the visitors proved too strong a fac
tor for the locals to overcome and they
were beaten in both games.
The first game, played Saturday af-
ternoon resulting in 5 to score,
was of the hail raising order and kept
the spectators wildly excited from the
tap of the gong till the ninth inning
when the visitors won out by pushing
a couple of runs over the rubber by op-
FORTUNE hitting.
Lefty Richards, for the locals. and
Neeley for the visitors. were both bat
ted rather hard but succeeded in keep.
ing the hits we'll scattered until near
the last when both weakened percepti- :
bly,. Nevertheless, considering the
fact that Richards is out of condition.
his work was remarkab BILE and he
pitched heady game, winning the
friendship of the crowd by his hard
and conscientious efforts. There is no
yellow streak in this little twirler for
ne stuck manfully to his difficult task
and with an ordinary break of luck,
considering the errors on both sides,
should have won his game.

COUNTY COnMIS.
SIONERS MEET

The county commissioners held their
monthly meeting Monday, Tuesday
and Wednesday of this week. A large
part of the time was spent in consider
alton of tho semi annual financial
statement, which is very interesting
this time rs it shows an Indebtedness
of ~, 900 less than six months ago.
The board took up the proposed
bonded indebtedness of 5000 or
more for road Improvement and decid
ed not to submit the question to the
people this fall.
Five delegates were appointed to
attend the National Irrigation con-
gress at Boise City, viz: William
Dougan, W. r. Logan. A. J. Dickson.
Ed. S. Hughes, of Glenwood, and F.
W. Popple of Grand Valley.
F. W. Dewitt was given the con-
tract TO paint the Grand Valley bridge,
his bid being 1895. The Parachute
creek road contract was not let as the
bids were all high. The board will
make an investigation of the road
later.
James McT.earn, of Rifle, was ap-
pointed election judge in place of o.
B. Fleming, as the work would inter
fere with the latter's school duties.

WithdrawS Coal Land

Over 1000, 900 acres of government
land in Colorado have been withdrawn
from entity by order of the secretary
OF the interior who has instructed the
geological survey to make a careful
examination of the lands for traces OF
coal. Wherever it is found in large
quantities it will be withdrawn from
entry and sold according to the pro-
visions of the public land act.
This order is the result of the be.
lief that has been growing in official
circles of some time that the coal
fields of Colorado are much greater in
extent that hitherto has been supposed.
AS indicated by the Withdrawals, the
government suspects the location of
coal beds in several Colorado districts
that have not been supposed to hold
and extensive deposits. Seventeen
tow 4hips in the Glenwood district
are simong those withdrawn, which
would indicate much larger deposit
of coal in this vicinity than has been
believed to exist.
The entire list of townships with.
drawn by this order includes Denver
IL; Leadville. 1; Glenwood Springs
81; Montrose, 3; Gunnison, 8; Duran
go, % and Pueblo 33 townships.
These Withdrawals mean the tenn
porary suspension of filing on 9, 1863. :
1850 acres in the state of Colorado
alee.s.
During the last year the discoveries
OF new coal fields in Colorado ard
Wyoming have been mo,e frequent
than is generally known. The gov
ernment, which always keeps wealth.
er eye out for such things. has decid-
ed to make a comprehensive survey
of the lands that might be expected
to contain coal deposits, and whenever
found to contain coal lands they will
be drawn from entry and sold.

FATAL SHOOTING
OF GLENWOOD BOY

A mosttdepiorable affair happened
Sunday night in AL Yewell's saloon at
CarbondaIe when George Warner, a
well known Glenwood boy, met
death from the accidental discharge
of revolver in the hands of LOUIS
St. John
George was acting as barkeeper in
the absence of Mr.. Yewell, when
Louis st. John and three friends en-
tered the saloon The boys were
standing around the bar talking
when st. John happened to see 32-
calibre automatic revolver laying on
the sideboard and requested the bar
tender to explain the mechanism of
the weapon. George picked up the
pistol and tooK the magazine off hand

Proposed RedStORe Carbonate Road

Yesterdays Rio Grande brought j.
Osgood and party from Redstone in
his private car, Colorado. In the
party were Messrs. Gibb, Brown,
Grubb Sewell and Holland in addi-
tion to MIR. Osgood, and a jollieI party
matter of business with our board of
con 1ty commissioners. They wish
the county to take lease ON the old
Elk mountain railway grade from Red
stone to Carbondale, which will make
one of the best pieces of road in the
county and state-in fact, a boulevard
for the entire distance. The PROPOSE
tion is very liberal one, as the ex-
pense of putting it in tirst-class shape
is to be divided equally amcng the
Crystal River railway, j. c, Osgood
and Pitkin county thus making it
light on each and giving a good road
in tnat part OF the county. We IN.
derstand the board of commi SSH oners
feels warranted in taxing time lease
on this grade, which will give the
county so much good road at little
cost. While here MIR. Osgood did not
forget to inquire as to the outlook for
the Tri County Fair of which he is
one of the executive committee. He
gave the local officers substantial en-
couragement for the best fair ever. -

The second game was called Sunday
afternoon at $3.50, and instead uf devel
oping into pitchers battle between
Hogart and Newmeyer as was con
lidently expected, it was slugging
match, with the visitors doing most
of the slugging.
Happy was sadly out of form
while his inield support was rather
punk and nothing GEAR the usual
standard.
The Garnitas started off by getting
a run in the first inning which was
presented to them by Umpire Hull,
his jumps failing to hear foul tip on
which Goode advanced from second to
third.
in the fourth Glenwood tied the
score and forged ahead two runs,
only to lose the advantage in the
seventh when the visitors began to take
kindly to Hogart's delivery and
slammed his billets all over the lot
and the slaughter was made complete
when NewIneyer put the ball against
right field fence for home run
with two men on bases. This took
the heart out of the Pets and also the
crowd and from that on the game was
devoid of interest, the score ending
13 to 3 against the locals.
The Garnitas are by far the strong
est team that has played here this year
and SO far as fielding is concerned is
the best amateur team the writer ever
saw in action. Individually the head
work is superb and the teamwork
shows the training of thorough mas
ter of the game. Our hat is off to the
Denver boys for they beat us and beat
US fairly. However, we believe that
the next time these two teams contest
for honors there will be different
story, for with another man as good
az Richards the Pets could at least
win one ont Of two games.

Although nearly fainting from ex-
citement and grief over the terrible
accident st. John sprang to the tele-
phone and called up DR.. Bradsn
who responded hutriedly but the
wounded man expired in few min
utes from internal hemorrhages.
After calling up DR.. Braden ST.
John ran out the back door and about
block to the telephone exchange and
telephoned DR.. Clark of this city who
Immediately went to Carbondale.
There were several witnesses of
the unfortunate affair and after they
had explained to Coroner Clark how
the shooting had happened, it WAS
clear to the coroner that it was an
accident and no arlests were made.
1t is quite evident that neither
Walner or St John understood any
thing about the mechanism of the re-.
volver and it is stated by the bows
present that if George had thought
lessly pulled the trigger of the weap-
on while Louis was examining the
magazine st. John would have met
death instead of his friend. as the
revolver was pointing directly at his
breast.
