FEW CARS ARE SECURED TODAY

Mr.. c. Corlett, in charge OF the
business of the Armour refrigerator
car line for western Colorado, was in
the city today and It is stated that at
conference with General Manager
Horace w Clarke Of the Denver &
Rio Grande, he informed Mr.. Clarke
that his company VIII at once turn
over to the railroads a total of about
500 refrigerator cars to be rushed to
Grand Junction and other western
slope points to be utilized in handling
the apple shipments This announce
ment will be hailed with JOY and
means that the ear shortage that has
prevailed for the past week will be
to a large extent relieved.
officials of the Grand Junction
Fruit Growers Association stated to
The Sentinel this afternoon that
there is very little change in the car
shortage situation. A few cars are
secured each day, but nothing like
as many as are needed.
The railroads are still promising
TO have cars in lin day or two,
and, from all indications, are doing
about everything they possibly can
do to relieve the situation. The
statement made by Mr.. Corlett of
the Armour Company is very en-
couraging and the fruit men only
hope that the cars he says have been
turned over to the Rio Grande will
be rushed here with all possible
speed
The apple harvest goes merrily on
and. owing to the fine weather that
is prevailing, no serious damage has
vet been suffered. but every day of
additional delay increases the dan
ger.
Had there been ample cars, the
fruit shipments today by the Grand
junction Fruit Growers Association
alone would have been at least $50
cars heavier than they have been up
| to date.

TERRIBLE BLOW TO THE FAMILY

There is considerable mystery sur
rounding the suicide of Frank j.
Peck, of this city. in the Markham
Hotel, Seventeenth and Lawrence
streets, Denver, at late hour yes
terday afternoon. The announcement
of the suicide was received in this city
last night and was a terrible shock TO
the family of the deceased as well as
to his many friends.
Frank j. Peck ended his life by
blowing out his brains in a. room in
the hotel. He used .32 calibre
revolver. There is every reason to
believe that the suicide was coolly
and deliberately planned.
Two or three years ago Peck came
to his city from Colorado Springs
and was employed in the local rail-
road yards until he met with the ac-
cident which made necessary the am
putation of one of his lower limbs
He was Il switchman. After recover
ing Peck at once endeavored to get
work. OF course he had to give up
railroading but he secured a position
as motorman on the street car sys-

ployed on the car line from the day
the system was put in operation last
May up until last week when he Sc
cured a brief leave of absence and
went to Denver TO have certain alter
ations made in a'cork leg he was
wearing and which had been causing
him much pain and trouble:

HIS COMPANIONS SAVE HIS LIFE

Converted in moments $ time into

During the early afternoon Harry
Swearinger. Fred HunJsman, Fred
Rust and one or two other employees
of the elctric light company were
busy making some changes in the

ments after O'Clock Swearinger was

He had a strong safety belt which
was holding him TO the pole.
Fred Rust was at work on the first
pole east of Swsaringer and on the
alley.
Suddenly Swearinger gave a cry

Three bnrglaries occurred in this
city last night The offices of the
Colorado Commercial Company, the
Ramey-Perce Lumber Company and
of one other company in the southern
part of the city were entered last
night and small amounts of cash
were secured from the cash drawers.
This makes total of about one doz-
en- burglaries that have occurred in
Grand junction within q period OF
four days, and not an arrest has
been made and not once have the
thieves been surprised by an officer.
The gang of thieves seem to be get
ting bolder every night, and, from
all Indications, the police are at sea
in the matter. Apparently the gang
operating here is made up of ANA
teurs, judging by the crude manner
in which they operate and also by

A NEW t3T1ACK

IS MADE
Sensation Created by an Affidavit
From Edward N Barrill. Declar-
ing That Dr.. Cook Never
Scaled Mount Mckinley.
HE BRANDS PHOTOS AS FAKES
M Associated Pics. l

New York, Oct. 1.-THE Globe
this afternoon prints copy of an af-
lidavit made by Edward y. Barrill
of Darby. Mont. who accompanied
DR., Frederick 4. Cook at the time he
announced that he had reached the
summit of Mount Mckinley in cen
tral Alaska.
The affidavit, which was made be-
fore a notary OF Tacoma, Wash,
states in effect that Barrill was the
only person present with DR.. Cook
on the day when he claimed to have
reached the summit of Mount Nc
Kinley; that they did not, in fact,
reach the summit. and that the near
est point to the summit reached was
at least II miles distant therefrom,
the elevation attained at no time eX-
ceeding 10000 feet
The affidavit also brings into ques-
tion "A number OF photographs which
Dr.. Cook has given as representing
the summit and other high attitudes
of Mount Mckinley.
With respect to the photograph
designated as The Summit of Mount
Mckinley and which shows Barrill
on a jagged apex holding an Ameri
can flag, Mr.. Barrill afiirms that the
point where this picture was taken
was actually 30 miles below the sum
nit and that the doctor obtained the
picture as such an angle that eight
peaks on the other side of this point
would not be revealed

1t develops that the report re-

by The Sentinel. to the effect that
Theodore Rosenberg, the well known

had been badly hurt in an accident
at Cripple Greek, was untrue. Mr.
Rosenberg is not employed at Cripple
Creek, but is at his home in Glen
wood at this time The Sentinel is
very glad TO learn that Mr.. Rosen-
berg was not the victim of the acci-
dent.
