- All READY TO DIE, NOW"
SAYS MURDERER HlcGARVEY
THE END COMES
THIS EVENING

AS predicted in the. Sentinel last
night the announcements made by
other papers both in Denver and IN
this city to the effect that the eXecu-
tion of MeGarvey would take place
last night, proved untrue and ground
less.
The Sentinel reasoned in consider
Ing several circumstances and from
unofficial information # could secure,
that McGarvey would meet his death
tonight and its announcement last
night that the execution would not
take place until tonight proves alb
solutely correct,
The local interest in the carrying
out of the death sentence is great
and many inquiries have come to the
Sentinel regarding the case. The
opinion that nothing should inter-
fere with the hanging of the murder
er of Edward Innes. one of Mesa
county's best known young men,
seems to be general. There is prac-
tically no local sympathy for the
doomed man.
Sheriff Schrader and DR.. Thadd
Parker are at Canon City and will
witness the execution. The details
of the scenes that transpire in the
death house can never be published.
The law prevents.
Probably between six o'clock and
eight o'clock the gallows will claim
its victim, and less than three months
after the commital of the heinous
deed Justice will have been fully salts
fed.

the murderer's remains. after courts

but as he has been deserted in life
by relatives and frierds doubtless he
will fill pauper's grave in the pris-
on cemetery, or thesbody will>be dis
sected as the law permits.
The warden has allowed the con-
demned man as long lease on life
as he possibly could and carry out
the order of the court. He could
have hanged him any day since the
death warrant was signed on Wednes-
day but he allowed him to live un-
til the end of the last day of the week
OF the sixteen legal executions
that have taken place in the history
of the state, one was on Wednesday

on Saturday and seven on Friday. Nc

BRYAN IN WRECK

Great Falls, Mont, Jan. 12.-The
Montana Central westbound train on
which Mr.. and Mrs. William ]. Bry-
an were passengers, collided with a
switch engine and stone cars in the
Great Falls yards yesterday. The en-,
gine was badly damaged. the baggage
car was wrecked and several passen-
gere were shaken up badly. Mike
Connolly, of Glasgow, was injured
severely about the head and should
ers but not fatally. while several
others were bruised considerably. The
passenger was moving at about only
ten miles an hour in a binding biz
zard and the engineer could see only
few feet ahead. Mr. and Mrs.
Bryan were both thrown from their
seats but received no injuries other
than the shaking up.

John MeGarvey, Who Will Be Executed Tonight

- Canon City. Jan. .-(Special) )-
That the execution of John McGarvey
will take place some time this evening
there can be no reasonable doubt as
the time limit for the carrying out OF
the death sentence expires at mid
night.
All hope of interference by the gov
ernor has been abandoned and there
can be no doubt regarding McGar-
vey's fate. Every hope was dissi-
pated by Governor Buchtel's decis-
ion.
None of McGarvey's friends or rel
atives have visited him lately and
there seems to be but little interest
taken by any one in his behalf. Prob
ably never was man under sentence
of death with so few friends.
Since realizing that there is alb
solrtely no hope for him and since
the break down and collapse on being
first informed of Goveror Buchtels
decision, McGarvey has held up re-
narkably well and it is now believ-
ed that he will meet death without
f,inching
This morning the condemned man
spent long time with his spiritual
adviser.
Today the murderer received an i'm
nressive letter from Governor Buch-
tel in reply to pitiful and plead
ing appeal for mercy written by Nc
Garyey himself on Wednesday and
sent to the governor. While accounts
of the contents of the letters have not
been made public 1t is known that the

governor held out absolutely no hope
to McGarvey and admonished him
to be ready to meet his maker. IL
is announced that one portion of the
preacher-governors letter reads as
fellows: 81 am heart broken over
the circumstances which make II alb
selutely necessary to deprive any
man of his life but / have no reason
for mitigating the sentence of the
court in this case.
The letter from the governor was
read to the murderer by one of the
attendants and he gave it the most
respectful attention,
After hearing the letter McGarvey
made the following confession to his
spiritual adviser:
81 am perfectly resigned to my fate
and ! will willingly give my life to
AXE amends for the crime l have
committed, I am repentant for my
sins and hope that the giving of my
life will be accepted in forgiveness
for my wrong doings ! have no
fear of death now"
Sheriff Schrader of Mesa county
reached Canon City late last night.
McGarvey's letter received by Gov
ernor Buchtel Wednesday night was
worded as strongly as the condemned
man knew how to word It and recited
at length the details of the murder,
the trial, cts, He asked for a short
reprieve during which time he wanted
Governor Buchtel to make an investi-
cation into his case and ascertain
whether or not he had a fair trial.

c'sn DAYS DSa ss9 %% Chic
AFTER THE BRIDGE
The Efforts to get the Legislature to
Provide for New Bridge Over
the Grand River Here
Have Started.

As announced In the account ol
/ the meeting elsewhere in this
issue the board of directors of the
I Chamber of Commerce took action
last night urging Senator Horce T.
DHLong and Representative A. B.
Hoyt, of this city and county. to use
every effort in the general assembly
to get an appropriation bill through
providing for the erection of a new
bridge over the Grande river at this
point.
II is desired TO have this bridge
span the river at the foot of Main
street. The necessity of a bridge at
that point is apparent. When the
great irrigation project of the Red
lands Irrigation company is COM
pleted and hundreds of acres of fine
new land will be brought under ir-
rigation the country just across the
river from the city will settle up rap
idly. Already there are scores of
ranchmen in that section of the val
ley and hardship is worked on them
every time they come to the city
They must travel over three miles
of rough road to the Fifth street
bridge in order to get to town. With
a bridge at the foot of Main street
this would be obviated and the resi-.
dents of that extensive section would
be in close and convenient touch with
the city. Traffic over the new bridge
would be heavy from the very start
and would affect people all the way
down into the lower valley Grand
functions business and trade inter-
ests would be greatly benefited by
such bridge. II is due to the coun-
try people and TO the city that thel
bridge be built. If the same is not
built Grand functions business in
terests Will be the losers in the end. |
\ great many of the ranchmen on
the west side of the river now express
their preference of going down to
Fruita to trade rather than to travel
over the long stretch of rough road |
of the Fifth street bridge in order |
to get to Grand Junction.
1t is understood that the bill to
be introduced in the legislature has
been framed and will probably be in
troduced in both houses on Monday |
or Tuesday. 1t asks for an appropria- !
tion of only $4,000.
The Sentinel believes that this Is |
a demand on the state by Mesa county |
that should be ratified. Twenty-Five |
thousand could not be better invest |
ed to serve the interest of a large |
of people than if put into this |
bridge.
1t is to be hoped that the measure
will succeed, and that as soon as pos
sible work on this new causeway over
the Grand will begin,

SCARLET FEVER RAGING
Orchard Mesa School Closed Down
and Many Families Quarantine
ed.-Situation H. Under
Control.

This morning DR.. U. S. Abbott and
DR.. l. B. Hards made a complete
investigation of a small epidemic of
scarlet fever that is raging on Or
chard Mesa. They found quite a num-
ber of cases and at once ordered that
the schools be closed down for a
period and placed under quarantine
five families.
1t seems that two cases reported as
measles developed to be scarlet few
er but not before many children
were exposed.
DR.. Abbott states that he believes
the situation is under control. other
families may be put under quaran-
tine. The situation will be closely

Home Here

John Raymond Austin has been ap
pointed as chief dispatcher of the Rio
Grande Junction railway for the
Grand Junction office and has entered
upon his duties. He succeeds Mr. R.
A. Matthews who is acting superin-
tendent of this division of the road
Mr.. Austin is one of the best
known young railroad men in the city
and his elevation to this most res
ponsible position and important Office
Will be a matter of pleasure TO his
great number of friends.
Beyond a doubt Mr.. Austin is the
youngest chief dispatcher in the rail
way service in this section of the west
and he is probably the youngest
chief dispatcher in the country today.
He is only "a years of age.
Mr. Austin. famlliarly known as
Jack" entered the railway serv-
ice when a mere boy at Salt Lake
City and was employed as messenger
boy. He was at Odgen, Utah for a
long period. He was promoted from
time to time and has done service in
all of the positions from
boy up to the important
office to which he was appoint
ed yesterday. He made a splendid
record as telegraph operator, copying
operator and in the performance of
the duties of other Offices in this de-
partment of the service. The high
regard in which he is held by his su-
periors and the excellence of his quail
ifications are attested by the new ap-
pointment. The Office of chief dis
patcher is one surrounded with heavy
but his friends and
fellow employees feel certain that
Mr.. Austin will prove an excellent
md most satisfactory official
Mr.. Austin has resided in Grand
Junction for nearly three years.

HOPES FOR NORMAL SCHOOL.

Today at noon Secretary Aupperle
of the Chamber of Commerce, receiv-
ed letter from Representative Hoyt
regarding the fight for a Normal
school in Grand Junction.
Mr.. Hoyt states that conditions are
such just at this time that it will
be impossible to secure an independ-
ent normal school for this city but
he believes that If the people of this
city approve the bill and will organize
for a strong fight that he has good
chances of getting a bill through the
legislature providing for n normal
school which will be under the sup
ervision of the state normal at Gree
ley in other words will be a branch of
that school.
He states that If some representa-
tive of the Chamber of Commerce will
go down to Denver that he will as
sist him in putting the claims of
Grand Junction before the proper
people and go after the school. Mr..
Hoyt declares that there will be no
compromise this time but a straight

tried to kiss a woman named Hanson.
To dcfray the costs CT the subsequent
proceedings Mrs. Muller says she had
to part with a pair OF diamond ear
rings.
Muller declares that his comrades in
the fire department told him there

who would be glad to see him. Muller
on his way thithsr saw Mrs. Hanson
