manner that paper yesterday morn

The Morning Yellow yesterday
published a brief statement in all

was said that Ullery had tried to

editor may be able to tell Mr.. Ullery
some additional facts about the af-

AS stated by The Sentinel Satur-
day and as affirmed by the police and
sheriff's Office no report of an at
tempted holdup of Fred Ullery was
made to any of the officers by any of
the family Thursday or Friday or at
any other time.
The Sentinel also knows this, that
the father of Fred Ullery informed
the morning paper that he didn't
want anything said about the affair.
The yellow editor was told Friday
night by the sheriff and police Of

such hold up but with few bare

about everything appearing in the
morning yellow so unreliable has it
been. aud so many fake stories has
it publiNhed, many of which it has
been forced to correct.
In it's own columns yesterday the
morning paper flatly contradicted
numerous details of the alleged muir
derous assault given by it Saturday
morning. What more proof is want
ed that the Saturday story was SEN
sation-all fabric?
If the morning papers story was
true throughout wonder why the
nominal editor, Mr.. Bickel, became
so indignant Saturday morning over
the story written by his news editor
and tore up so much air, when he
found out that the story was largely
untrue 1t is a fact that ever since
Karl A. Bicllel took charge of the

TOLD THE TRUTH
AND STANDS BY IT.

A newspaper that will deliberately
discolor. exaggerate and make yellow
an occurrence, embellishing it with
rankly false and viciously sensational
features simply to fill up it's columns
and to excite the people will delibe-
rately lie and use dirty methods in an
attempt to make the yellow" story
stick, when that same story has been
denounced and proven untrue by its
contemporary and which story has
become the laughing stock of the
community.
OF such action has the morning
paper been guilty. 1t knows it and
it is hurt.
Today The Daily Sentinel reaffirms
that EVERY STATEMENT MADE
BY THIS PAPER SATURDAY
AFTERNOON CONCERNING THE
ALLEGED HOLDUP OF FRED UL-
LERY is TRUE. 1t has positive
proof to back every one of the state
ments. 1t also again declares that
the story published by the morning
paper was the biggest yellow story
ever worked off by local paper.
For reasons clearly stated Satur-
day The Sentinel simply and truth
fully gave the facts concerning the
Ullery affair. Not a one of these
facts has been disputed by members
of the family or any one else, in
truth many of the statements have
been affirmed by members of the
family. The Daily Sentinel made no
attack whatever on the Ullery fam
, lily or any member of it and neither
did it question the honesty or vera

has not prevailed between the edi-
torial and news departments of that
paper and there has been more con-
flicts than one over the publication
of yellow stories and one of these
conflicts occurred over this Ullery
story.
The editorial TRADE on The Sem
tinel in Sunday mornings paper,
reeking with falsehoods, contains a
partial admittance that the sensa-
tional story was mainly untrue as
The Sentinel had branded it. by the
statement, the broad facts in the
Ullcry case were as the News stated
them" What about the handling
of the more important facts? The
sheet hasn't the nerve TO say tnat its
story was true, neither will Ullery
say SO.
In "Chapter l of the Genesis of
Journalism" which the Yellow
quotes, it is recorded that the old
est, thinnest method of attacking a
contemporary is TO hatch up an in
terview in papers office embody-
ing what the papers editor wants
to say. then credit it to a prominent
citizen and fire at the contempor-
airy. This is the game the Yellow
often plays and played yesterday.
Efforts TO turn attention from real
facts and TO brand true, logical and
just statement of facts as vile
attack on honest men and women,
will not fool the people.
The Sentinel told the truth, assail-
ed no one but the yellow sheet that
constantly knocks the town by yell
low stories, and The Sentinel will
continue to hold it's standing as the
only reliable daily newspaper IN
Grand Junction. and the one that
prints more real, truthful fresh local
and telegraphic news in one day than
any contemporary does in two days.

There may be contests in some Of the

DID PETER PAN"
HAVE SAC MEAL -?
Police Think Zoo Monkey
Stole Cash From Mrs.
Daddysman.

Here IS the question that Detective
Bob Hewlett is vainly trying to solve
today:
Did Peter Pan, the husband Of Mrs.
FIuhytop, who is one of the star attrac-
tons in the monkey house at the Zoo,
steal $40 from a handbag belonging 70
Mrs. Emma Daddysman, OF 1896 Wal
ZACH place northwest. yesterdays
Suspicion seems 10 point strongest to
Peter Pan, although there are several
other animals that the police seem 70
think might be responsible for the rob
berry.
Hewlett went TO the Zoo this morning
70 see If he could get some clue 10 the
missing money Peter Pan positively
refused TO make any statement, and the
detective didn't believe the circum-
stantial evidence against him was strong
enough to warrant making an arrest.
Marvin A. Daddysmar, Mrs. Daddys-
mans son, reported at headquarters
that his mother had lost SO from her
purse while in one Of the animal houses.
The fine weather yesterday attracted q
large crowd TO the eco, and the police
were at first inclined 10 the theory that
some one might have extracted the
money from the handbag while Mrs.
DaddysmaD was looking at the animals.
Mrs. Daddysman, however, was posi-
tive that sis k1d not been tostled at
any time during the afternoon. and the
only conclusion that the detectives
could reach was that one OF the animals
must have reached out between the
bars and helped himself &c the money.
On this theory the detectives inter
viewed the goats and the big ostrich,
which was presented to the Zoo by En-
peror Menelil1. Of Abyssinia. Investiga-
tioD disclosed the fact that Mrs Dad
dysman had not been near auey Of these
animals. The goats and th- ostrich
were able to prove a complete alibi.
Mrs. Daddysman spent some time in
the biCd house, but there was nothing
TO implicate any Of the feathered board
ers. 1t was learned that she also
watched the antics Of Mrs. Feathertop
for several minutes. The detectives
think that while Mrs. Daddysman was
busy keeping / er eyes on Mrs. Feather
top, Peter Fan may have reached out
through the bars and taken the money.
His cage was searched this morning
but not a trace Of the greenbacks. could
be discovered. II Peter Pan did steal
the money, he enjoyed a $40 Sunday din
ner.
