TieerdOm Aroused.

A big stir has been caused
among the negro blind tigers OF
Brookhaven during the last tive
weeks by the employment of two
special negro detectives named Ike
Bell and Joe Baker, by the Mayor
and Chief of Police to secure evi-
dence against this Infamous class
of criminals. Twenty arrests fol-
lowed as a result of the special de-
tectiyes' work and twelve convic.
tions were secured in the Mayors
court, several of the accused
pleading guilty, when the idea
seems to have struck the tiger ele-
ment to combine and prosecute
the negro detectives on the charge
of perjury, in order to check the
crusade going on in their ranks.
Accordingly, at a hearing before
Justice f. III. Hoffman Tuesday
swarm of witnesses appeared to
impeach the two negro detectives,
and the tigers and their friends
swore so strongly Justice Hoff
man bound them over to the May
term of the Circuit Court in the
sum Of $500 each, in default OF
which they we're sent to Jail.
Ike Bell and Joe Baker, the de-
tectives, came to the officers ot
Brookhaven highly recommended
by Chief of Police Allen, of Jack
son, and Ex-District Attorney
Garrard Harris, as having render.
ed efficient service in breaking up
the negro tigers of Jackson, and
the officers here are going to see
that they have a fair showing
against the disreputahle tiger ele-
ment in this city which has turned
against them.
Chief of Police j. B. Davis
went up to Jackson Thursday with
Ike Bell, and he had no trouble
in making up his bond there
where he is well known among the
law officers of the Capital city.
In the proceedings before Jus.
tice Hoffman the State was repre-.
sented by Judge Brennan and
Warren McNair and the defense
by Hon. Thos. Brady.
1t is hoped the citY's chief off.
cials and Sherif Greer will not al.
low this bluff of the Brookhaven
tigers to secure for them even
temporary immunity for their ne
fari0us business.

LAST CHANCE COLUMN.
THE UNDESIRABLES.

As the year 1908 draws to close.
it forcefully reminds us that there
are in Grand junction a large num-
ber of that class of undesirable citi-
zens, known as bachelors. During
the past year much good work has
been done by the weaker gender in
eliminating this. evil but it becomes
evident, with only three days remain
ing that much more strenuous con-
scientious efforts must be put forth
if full Justice is done to wipe out this
terrible state of affairs which exists
in our city.
The Sentinel. therefore. with the
help of its readers. will undertake a
thorough and unsparins campaign TO
expose the erring and uplift the un-
fortunate, and will absolutely see
that change in this line results.
To old maids, spinsters, and others.
who are capable of assuming the
managership of a household we
would say that if you have any spec
ial choice notify as and we will use
our influence and efforts to see that
the culprit complies with your de-
mands.

DEWBERRY GROWING IN
STATE OF COLORADO

The average person scarcely knows
what dewberry is yet the fact re-
mains that a few men are making
comfortable incomes from small
plantations of this fruit
The dewberry may be likened to
an overgrown blackberry. but il
grows upon a trailing, vine-like cane
instead of the upright cane of the
blackberry.
The dewberry is by no means adap-.
ted to all situations and localities. 1t
has succeeded best in the higher al.
titudes, but in localities where ap-
pies are considered to be n safe crop
Such surroundings are found in the
Plateau valley. and il is here that
the growing of this fruit is becom-
ing speciality.
While dewberry canes are of trail
ing habit. no trellises need be used.
A better plan is TO keep the canes cut
back to n length of about two feet.
They are thus made to assume an
upright form and vigorous plant
has the appearance of thrifty, low
growing bush. At the first pruning
the new canes are tipped when they
are = to s inches in length. Just
before the picking season begins the
canes are pruncd second time. and
this consists in cutting back the lat
| terals to a length of about two feet.
The following spring the plants are
gone ever "A third time. when the old
canes are removed and the vigorous
laterals are shortened.
Winter protection is afforded by
throwing few shovelfuls of earth
over each hill.
When grown in this manner, the
plants are commonly planted five
feet apart each way The cultiva-
tion and irrigation does not differ
from that of raspberries.
The dewberry is very perishable:
therefore extreme care must be eX-
ercised in picking and marketing
! The berries must not be exposed to
the sun after being picked, aud over
ripe fruit viii not bear transporta-
ton. After the berries have been
picked and packed the crates should
be placed in cool place. where they
may be dried to a slight extent by
the free circulation of air. The car
in which they are shipped must be
thoroughly ventilated Iced cars
only increase the liability to mould.
A dewberry plantation in good
bearing will yield from three hun
dred TO four hundred crates of ber-
ries per acre. The average price has
been $2.25 per crate at the shipping
point. Assuming the cost of pro-
duction to he S1.25 per crate. IL very
high estimate. there remains u profit
of on each crate. or net return
of from, $500 to $500 per acre.
As has been intinated. this fruit
does not succeed in all locations. nei-
her would all men be adapted to the
management of a flve-acre planta-
tion. Consequently there would ap-
pear to be small danger of the busi-
ness ever being overdone. Particu-
larly is this true of a crop of such
perishable nature. Dewberry grow
ing. therefore, offers certain in
come to the few who win choose
proper locations and who are adapt
ed to the work.

This announcement gives the lie
to report being circulated by a
very, very few knockers of the
present management of the fair as
sociation to the effect that the net
loss would amount to and probably
exceed $4,000
Another interesting piece of infor-
nation that reaches The Sentinel in
wolves the amount paid out to the
horsemen who had entries at the last
fair Te reports on Saturday will
show that the actual amount of
money paid Out for the various races
after all entry fees had been deduct
ed was S3.32l.50 This means, let
II be understood, that this is the
amount that was paid out after all
of the horsemen had settled their
entry fees. or in other words is the
total amount after the total amount
of all entry fees has been deducted
This S3,32l.50 was divided as fol-
lows:
Actual amount paid to harness
horses. less all entry fees. S179S.OO
Actual amount paid to running
horses, less all entry fees and ex-
elusive of the Grand Junction handi-
cap. which is not fair association
race event and which does not cost
the fair association cent but is pro-
yided for by the business men. ST.

For special features that cannot be
counted in either of the above
classes
RELAY races .........s 4O5.5O
Ladies' races ..... 5000
Boys races - 1000
The total amount paid amounts
to S3,3215O
study of these figures easily
shows how silly and how false is
the claim being made by two or
three disgruntled individuals to the
effect that the management has
favored the running races above the
harness horse events and that the
running horses got by far the most
money at the last fair. The true
facts show that II is really just the
other way, the harness horse men
received more money from the as
sociation than did The running
horses.
The annual meeting of the associa-
tion on Saturday will attract a large
crowd The reports are certain TO
be very interesting.
