Bet you my bag beats yours"
$50 it ought-with a 20 bore!"
Give you five birds then"
Make it six, and I'm on"
"All right-for a box Of candy"
agreed the boy.
Come along" called Blake, and the
youngsters, with their guns tucked
well under their shoulders and eyes
alert, went up the stubble a good two
PAGES ahead of their elders.
Half way across the field a single
brace of old birds got up with a
whirr.
My Bird" sang out the boy and
girl in a breath. Bang went their
guns and the birds fell, clean shot, to
their right barrels. ...
Coulson, next to the girl, saw them
drop while he was getting his gun to
his shoulder; and before he had ex-
planned his slowness to himself Kit
had stopped hare ten yards in front
of him.
He turned and stared at her. She
had already reloaded and was carrying
a spare cartridge between her teeth.
You won't do that aagin, my young
friend" he glared, but to himself.
Mark time!" cautioned George as
the keeper wheeled. The girls brown
legs responded. Then, as they went
on again, a big covey rose. Coulson,
who was not going to be caught nap
ping this time, got the leader, but, be-
cause of his hurry, missed another
strong bird with his left. Blake, for
similar reasons, wasted two cartridges
on one bird. But the children waited
until the young ones rose and then
each got in deadly right and left.
Blake gave Coulson a look of aston
ishment. Coulson's look in response
said, Don't understand it, as plainly
as looks can speak. The boy and girl,
with a box of candy in the balance,
kept their eyes fixed right ahead.

fast down the wind, crossed the line

shrewd Rascal Made Good Thing Out
Of WhistIins Geese.

Two rogues passed poultry shop.
Seeing two geese hung up for sale one
of the rogues inserted in the gullet
of the goose little bulb with whistle
attached. When the bulb was pressed
the whistle sounded.
Then. entering the store, he told the
proprietor that he had hanging out
side a very rare kind OF whistling
goose. The proprietor at once sold
the goose for a big sum to very
learned professor, who was astonished
to hear about the whistling goose.
Seeking the man who had placed the
whistle in the gullet of the bird, the
proprietor asked him II he knew
where others like 1t could be OBJ
tanned
Well" said the crafty fellow, II
know of only one place, and If you will
pay me big price / will get several

So the rogue brought dozen fowls,
N the gullet of each of which he
thrust a whistle. and was paid an ex-
orbitant price for them before the
hoax was discovered.

little mountain valley through which
a stream trickles between stunted
pines, and about whose rocks are

But as they near the summit of the
mountain, darkness comes also and a

melting snow, descends upon them,

A Baltimore man had until recently
darby in his employ-about as shift
less and worthless a darby, says he, as
ever he came across. One day the
employer, his patience exhausted,
called Sam into his Office and told him
% look for another job. will you give
me letter of recommendation? asked
Sam, piteously. Although he felt that
he could not conscientiously comply
with this request, the Baltimore mans
heart was touched by the appeal. So
he sat down to his desk to write a
non-committal letter of character for
the negro. His effort resulted as fol-

is STRIKE
NOW CERTAIN

A dispatch received this afternoon
by The Sentinel from Denver states
that 1t is rumOred this afternoon that
a strike ON the Denver & Rio Grande
in which the machinists, car men,
and very likely the bridgemakers,
blachsmiths and telegraphcrs will
join, is now imminent.
At the Markham hotel the car men
and representatives of the other un-
ions held a meeting that lasted un-
til 3 O'Clock this morning.
Efforts to see members of the COM
mittee failed. and two communities
tiOns sent to f. @. Quinn in the meet
ing quarters had answers returned
that an important meeting was be-
ing held, but that there was nothing
to give out.
The international officials of the
machinfsts' union are expected to
reach Denver in a few days; and, in
the event of a strike. it is said, will
deal directly with the railroad Of
1icialS there.
Locally there are no new develop
ments in the situation. The new
rules and the other phases of the sit
uation are still being widely dis
cussed, especially in railroad circles.

OLD TIMER
HAS QUIT

William H. Holman. for the past
six years one of the best known and
leading boilermakers employed in
the local shops of the Rio Grande,
last night rendered his resignation
to the company to take effect on Sat-
urday night.
The resignation Is offered owing
to the fact that Mr.. Holman expects
to open up boilermakers' shop of
his own for general commercial work
in Grand Junction, also devoting spe-
cial attention to sheet iron work.
The shop will be one of the best
equipped in western Colorado.
Mr.. Holman has had over 20 years
experience as a boilermaker. Before
coming to Grand Junction six years
ago he was employed by the rail-
road company at Durango. His SER
vices have been highly valued by the
company, he being one of the most
competent and faithful employees in
the service at the local shops.

TIMONY, SHOWING THAT THERE
WAS A FEUD EXISTING BE-
TWEEN THE TWO BRANCHES OF
THE ONG FAMILY. This was a
failure, however. as Mrs. Ong denied
that her testimony was colored in ia
vOr Of the women. 1t was the in
tention of the prosecution, as shown
by the cross examination, to prove
that conspiracy did exist. but so
far but little evidence has been in
troduced which will bear out this
idea. On the contrary, Attorney
Carnahan has spiked every attempt
to introduce such evidence, and has
shown by the testimony of the wit
nesses for the defense that the stor-
les of the women we're straightfor-
ward, and no amount of cross fire
has yet been able to entangle them.
The fact that the insurance policy
was in place easily accessible to
Mrs. Ong and Miss Heady would
seem to show that they did not par
ticularly care, at least not enough
to look. Had it been their intention
to shoot Ong in order to get the in
surance, they would have been posi-
tive that 1t was made in Mrs. Ong's
favor. This Mrs. Ong positively de-
nies.
The Defense is Strong.
The defense has shown pretty
clearly that Ong has at all times
been the aggressor, and, unless Dis
trict Attorney Selig has card which
he has not yet played, his efforts to
prove conspiracy have had boomer
ang tendencies. 1t has been shown
that the exclamation of Ong. "If that
baby could only talk!" was made
some time after the shooting and
just prior to his going down town.
Thus he would have had plenty of
time to frame up such sentence.
Up to the time The Sentinel went
to press the testimony was all in
favor Of the defense, except the. nm
corroborated statements of Ong made
yesterday.
