THE LADY AND THE DETECTIVE.
Startling Statement That Really Called
for an Explanation.

Mrs. Jack" Gardner of Boston
has taken up the Audubon society's
war against the hat of many feathers.
This hat is the worst omnlvorous
creation that the milliners have yet
given us" she said at recent dinner.
THE number of things required to
trim the hat is frightening. Its appe-
lite, In fact, reminds me OF a police
court episode.
"A detective was testifying in the
case OF woman shoplifter whom he
had arrested in her bedroom.
"And, your honor he said, when
l told her the charge. she turned her
back to me and swallowed a purse, six

dlestick, a chatting dish, and
" Rubbish Are you crazy? the
magistrate interrupted.
Excuse me. What / mean to say,
your honor explained the detective,
is that she swallowed the pawn
tickets"

Our Word This Is a Bargain

Gentlemen" said the campaign
spellbinder, as he began his speech,
In the words OF our illustrious chief
at Washington, who said: Speak"
Louder" yelled a score OF voices
In the back part of the hall.
Not at all, gentlemen" said the
orator, visibly irritated. HE said, as
every well-informed person knows:
Speak softly even while carrying the
big stick. II | am interrupted again"
here he waved the chairman's gavel
aloft-I shall use the big stick un.
sparingly!"
Having thus asserted himself, and
silenced the rude persons who had
been guilty Of the unseemly interrup.
ton, he resumed his speech.

WESTERN SLOPE MEN
i~ 7a APPEAR BEFORE COURT

Yesterday two of the best known
and most prosperous cattle raisers of
TIE western slope were brought be-
lore the United States district court
in Denver on the eharge of Illegally
fencing government range.
Thomas A. Mostyn of Ouray was
fined. and John A. Schwend of Ouray
was discharged.
Regarding the cases the Denver
Times says in part:
''Mostyn is said by the special
agents to be about the least guilty
of the richer cattle barons of the
southwest part of Colorado. He is
said to be more the victim of the gem
eral crusade against the cattle men
than of any bad intention on his part.
For that reason the fine imposed up
on him by the United States court
was light-a little more than 800
THE government. though intent
on, breaking up the unlawful monop-
oily of the public lands by the cattle
men. is acting on the principle that
no individual is very much to blame.
but is the beneficiary of a condition
that has gradually grown up with
the development of the country
Mostyn and Schwend's cattle
range is in the Pleasant valley and
the Uncompahgre forest reserve ad-
joining. Here is some of the richest
grazing country in America. The
precipitation is the greatest in Colo
RADIO and the grasses grow high. And
here also about two dozen men and
companies had until five years ago
monopolized a territory of several
thousand square miles in extent.
THE coming of the forest reserve
meant the first break in the power
of the cattle king; but not until the
present year had the governments
special agents been detailed to curb
them and to rstore the unsettled
grazing land to the public. Smaller
cattle growers have already been en-
couraged to make start and the
number of herds is increasing, al
though the size of some of the great
herds is diminishing

TO FILE PETITIONS HERE.
RESIDENTS MUST GET BUSY

1t is doubtless if many, or any, of
the foreign born residents of Grand
Junction and Mesa county who hope
to vest themselves with all the rights
of American citizenship but who nave
not yet done so, know that there are
only about ten days left in which
petitions in naturalizations may be
filed with District Clerk Primrose SO
that the cases can be given a hearing
at the March term of the district
court.
The law requires that all such pc
titions must be filed 80 days before
the date of hearing. The March
term of court opens on March End.
Therefore no person desiring to Sc
cure his or her naturalization papers
at the next term of court should de-
| lay longer than December l, the
matter of filing the necessary petit
tion. If the matter is delayed any
longer then the application cannot be
taken up at the March term of court
and it is probable that no applica-
tions can be heard at the next Oc-
| tober term. This matter was called
| to The Sentinel's attention today by
Clerk Primrose and in order to give
warning to residents who expect to
file petitions The Sentinel gives pub
licity TO the matter
| Unnaturalized residents of the city
will not be able to vote at the next
| spring election unless they get their
final papers at the March term of
the district court.
The matter of citizenship is an i'm
portant one and those entitled to the
full rights of citizenship should not
neglect the necessary steps toward
gaining for them these rights.
