been steady, honest, truthful boy
and being no longer in robust health
and unable to perform manual Ia
Dor, Warden Cleghorn recommended
that he be given his freedom.
In consideration of the prisoner s
health and the endorsements for mis-
release, he was pardoned on condi-
tion that his mother take him to Cal
ifornia.
The warden was Instructed to keep
Davis in custody until transpc rte tion
shall be provided for taking him to

GREAT AIR ship
PROVES A SUCCESS
Especial to The Sentinel.l

New York, Aug. 1.-Rising from
the ground like a giant bird and
darting through the air at express
train speed, Henri Farman's aero
plane or heavier than air flying ma
chine brought here from France
made its initial flight in this county
late today at Brighton beach. 1t
rose from an especially prepared
doch at the will of the inventor and
after attaining height of twenty
five feet flew straight ahead on a di-
rect line, finally alighting with ex-
quisite grace when the air pilot di-
minished the motive power.
During Ine brief space of time in
which the aeroplane was sllimming
over the center field of the race
track the few hundred spectators,
mcst of whom We're friends of the
inventor or rival navigator watched
the flight.
The landing provoked cheers as
vociferous as those of a race track
crowd.
f'arman was surrounded and liter
ally hugged by the jubilant aero
nauts Members of the Aero CLUB
under whose auspices Farman will
conduct his public flights at Rrigh-
ton beach wanted to carry the sue
cessful inventor off the field on their
shoulders.

Mrs. Carrie Nation stopped in
Grand Junction last Tuesday, and
because she was turned away from
the St. Regis hotel on the plea that
the house was full, the morning pa
per came out with shrieking head
lines declaring that Carrie Nation

attempts toward sensationalsm are
absolutely disgusting. Mrs. Nation

The voting machines to be used in
Mesa county this fall may have a
tendency to lessen the number of
scratched votes considerably. At the
best, these machines are somewhat
complicated, and very little time is
given to each voter, since as many
ballots must be cast in one booth as
in from two to four booths under the
old system. Many voters will hasti-
ly punch the straight ticket key and
retire, rather than take the time to
vote for identically the candidates
they prefer 1t will thus dlscourag
the tendency to vote independently
as men should. 1t does seem that
$4,000, might almost have beer
spent to better advantage in Mesa
county.=Plateaeu Voice.
