HUNDREDS TO
GO TOMORROW
Interest Intense in Strawberry Day
Game Between the Strong Rival p
Teams of the Western Slope.
LOCALS CONFIDENT OF VICTORY

Many large excursions have left
Grand Junction in the past for the
Strawberry festival at Glenwood
Springs; but the crowd which will
go this year. it is safe to say, Will
break all records.
The ball club is going. too: and
they are after the scalps of the Glen
wood Water Babies. oh. what joy
to humble the naughty Glenwoodf
ties by defeating their priced dia
mond heroes, and we are certainly
drinking of the cup of triumph this
year We have walloped them twice.
and the hundreds of fans who accom-
pany the Smudgites tomorrow are go
ing to see that we get two more
bowling victories; but Glenwood is
loaded for the boys this time.
Johnny Richardson has expended
several simoleons on fast players to
strengthen his bunch; but they are
not fast enough yet. Richardson
doesn't know it, however, or he
would spend a lot more, for defeat is
hands of naughty Grand junction.
| She didn't let him steal the game
| two weeks ago, and now he doesn't
| like her any more: but it's too bad
! because she will insist on winning
and Glenwood hasn't the team and
can't get one that will beat Goldy and
his bunch. Imagine Johnny gnash-
ing his teeth with rage when he read
in the Denver papers the list of the
four best independent professional
teams in the state-Grand Junction
Fort Collins, Trinidad and the Den.
Yer Iron Workers-Glenwoo wasn'
even in the list. How cruel it is

LAST APPEAL OF
REDLANDS CASE
Contestants Today Get Notices of the
Final Fight to be Made Before
Secretary of the Interior
A HEARING IN THE EARLY FALL

To the very highest court of appeal
or authority that there is for such
cases, to the secretary of the depart
ment of the interior. the now famous
Redlands contest cases of Grand
junction are to be taken by the con-
testees for final decision.
Richard a. Ballinger, secretary of
the interior. will hear the arguments
and review the evidence on the great
case and will then render a decision
and from that decision it is hardly
likely that there will be any appeal.
Today Attorney Straud NJ. Logan,
of this city. who represented the con-
testants before the general land Of
flee at Washington some months
ago, received by registered mail the
notices to the effect that the con-
testees had appealed the case from
the general land office and had de-
manded a hearing before the depart
ment of the interior. This is the
first authoritative or official notice
that an appeal would be taken.
The general land office, last
March. as announced at the time by
The Daily Sentinel, rendered decis-
ion upholding the findings of Regis
ter Blair, of the Montrose land office
which findings We're to the effect

the valuable Redlands claims in good
faith for the sole purpose of estab-
fishing residences for their benefit
but had filed on the lands for the
benefit of the Redlands Irrigation q
Power company. Therefore the con
tests filed against the original en-
trymen by well known local people
were upheld. the original entrymen
losing the lands.
Not daunted by the defeat in both
the Montrose land office and the gen
eral land office at Washington the
contestees have determined to take
the case before the secretary of the
interior himself and another brilliant
and lively legal battle over these val
liable lands is assured.
The secretary of the interior will
probably hear the case in the fall
