SCOTT ORGANIZING
HIS foRa
Bolivar County Man GettIns Rcady for
Gubernatonadf Race.

Hon. Charles SEQ, OF Rosedaie, evil
IDENTITY doea NOT 7elieve the oft repeated
claim thai .narle Brewer has captured
the Go-ernorship and gone with it," for
he will unquestionably make the race
against the Coahoma orator next year,
and within the next sixty days intends
to deliver a number of political ad-
dresses in the State in the interest of
his candidacy. 1
Several months ago Mr.. Scott stated
that he did not intend to open his active
campaign for the Governorship untiIthe
latter part of the year, his physician
having advised him against pubic
speaking until he had completely recoV-
cred from a throat trouble with which
he had been afflicted for some time.
According to advioes from Rosedale,
Mr.. SCOTS voice is now in first-class
shape, he has accepted a number OF
invitations to deliver addresses. With
the beginning Of the new year he will
aaActiye anvass Of the
State, and s1pects to visit every county
in the commonwealth before the prim-
airy in August.
Present indications are hat Messrs
Scott and Brewer are going to have the
Governorship fight all to themselves
There are a dozen men Of more or less
prominence in the State who would lik
to run for the Office, but they recognize
the fact that the ines are already tight
Iy drawn, and public opinion seems cen
tered in the belief that it must be

both of whom we're prominent contest
ants in the race three years ago.
For the past ten months Mr.. Brewe
has been actively in the field, and dur
ing this period he has addressed tn
voters in every county in the State. Il
no instance, however, has he mentione'
his g~ubernatorial ambition in publ
addresses, his theme being "Patrioti
citizenship" However, his our of tn
counties has not been for naught, an
at every place he has visited it is no
hard to find evidence that he was look
ing after his political fences as well a

day. November lst,

Tuesday, November LIST, will
mark the opening of the season
for shooting quail, and, from
present indications, there will be
some good sport in the country
surrounding Greenwood this fall
and winter Quail are said to be
more numerous this season than
for many years and many hunters
will take the field the first day of
the open season.
The season has been open since
Sept..1 for duck, geese and other
fowl Of, that kind, but will not be
open for wild turkey till Jan. l,
Doves can be shot after Nov. Is,
but they are rather scarce this
year, as usual, and this bird will
furnish but little sport. The sea-
son will also open for deer Nov.
Is, as we'll as bear, and there will
be some good sport hunting deer
this season, according to reports
from all over the Delta.
Deer are said to be more plen'
tiful this season than for many
years, due TO the fact that there
was no heavy rise of the Missis
sippi river last spring or summer
to drown them out. The Law
against shooting deer is beins
more rigidly enforced, and pc
hunters have been put out o
business, while the negroes ar
no longer allowed to slaughte
, them as formerly.
, There are no duck or geese il
this State thus far, but as soon a
3 the weather begins to turn coo

That the counsel, consisting of
Judge Charles ID. Hayt and Frank c.
Goudy of Denver, of the Hannah
Greek Water Users Association, are
weakening upon holding out for the
award of the commissioners appoint
ed by Judge Shackleford to assess the
value of the water in that creek for
the use of this city, which was done
and the award made at sl74, 900,
comes to The Sentinel upon very good
authority today.
In letter to c. C. Sargent. secre-
tary of one of the water users asso-
Citations on the creek, Judge Hayt
says that Straud NJ. Logan, of the
counsel for the city in this matter,
discloses that the city would pay
s135, 900 for the water for the city's
use from Hannah creek If the award
was authorized by a special election
to be called by the city council.
Judge Hayt further states that he
thinks the city would pay as high as
$150,000 for the water, If Mr.. Lo-
gan's intimation to him that they
would pay s135, 900 is a reflex of
what the commissioners would do.
For some time past The Sentinel
has been aware that the Hannah
Creek water users associations would
be willing to take considerably less
than the colossal and extravagant
award which was made them. 1t is
not new to The Sentinel at all that
negotiations of some kind were in
progress.
The Sentinel, which has opposed
the payment of the original award,
as being excessive and on the spur
of the moment. would still maintain
that an award of s135,000 would
still be excessive. Values of land
and water have not so materially

WILL TRADE At

Some of the residents in the north
eastern part of the city and adjoining
suburbs are up in arms over the lack
of facilities for coming into town.
A strong demahd is going to be
made that the city grade and make
passable North street from the fair
grounds to Seventh and the latter
street to Main.
The threat is being freely made
that unless this is done there will be
forty or fifty of the fAmllies in that
section who will drive TO Clifton to
do their trading if the city does not
make it convenient to trade in Grand
Junction.
The residents declare that they
mean business and will cut out trad
ing in Grand Junction if steps are not
taken at once to make ii easy for
them to come into the city. Twelfth
street, besides being in almost i'm
passable condition, is no& popular
because so many teams cannot get
accustomed to the interurban cars,
so some other route must be taken.

NO BASEBALL GAME
At CHICAGO TODAY
Associated Press.

Chicago, Oct. 21.-Wet grounds
and a drizzling intermittent rain
caused the postponement today of the
fourth scheduled worlds champion
ship game between the Philadelphia
Americans and Chicago Nationals.
The game will be played OF here
tomorrow: and, should Chicago win,
the fifth game will be fought out on
the local grounds also.
The umpires found that the whole
held was saturated. There was like
wise the official prediction that more
or less rain was bound to fall during
the day, and there was nothing to
do but to order postponement.
The weather forecast for tomorrow
is Fair and cooler.
If there is any advantage to any
body in the postponement of the
fourth game. tits said to accrue to
Chicago on the theory that any pos
sible chance affecting the local play
ers in their present gloomy position
can only be for the better. The days
rest, however, can do Philadelphia
no harm. In the unexpected event
that Bender should be hit freely to-
morrow, Coombs. with a days reser-
vation to buoy him up, could be used
again. Browne and Cole, either of
whom may pitch for Chicago, are in
no great need of vacation. Captain
Chance said today that the day of
idleness might be the turning point

charged with the murder of his wife,
rested today after the summing-up
address by Alfred A. Tobin.
Richard Muir will close for the
prosecution tomorrow afternoon. af-
ter which the case will go to the

For four hours today DR.. Crippen

lose his oomposure This, however.
was not without an effort on his part,
and when he returned to the prison
er's dock he was deathly pale and ap-
peared to be almost collapsing.
Crippen clung to his original sto-
ry, that his wife's fondness for an
other had led to an estrangement;
that she frequently threatened to
leave him, and finally made good her
threats; that he had no idea what
became of her.
He told stories about her death
only to cover up scandal, and fled
when he realized that he had permit
ted suspicion to be directed toward
him. He had purchased hyoscin; but
only to be used in the preparation of

that he had bought the drug on but

1t is to be hoped that the city will
not be committed to Messrs. Hayt and

when, as The Sentinel has repeatedly
stated, the original award was SO far
in excess of what the water owners
of HANNAH creek anticipated they
would receive that they have not
quite gotten over the shock as yet
If they are relenting at the present
time and seeking an understanding,
1t is our private belief that the inia-
tive is coming from them and from
no other persons. The Hannah Greek
water users associations should be
paid every dollar of the worth of that
water sought, AID damages to their
land, but no: one cent more.
Basing values of water upon some
OF the prices of land against which
we have protested time and again as
being eXtravagant and detrimental to
the values of ali the lands of the
county, is not what the city is pro
posing to pay for It's water
Full but not fictitious value for
that water is what this city ought to
pay-no more.

CLIFTON SCRIBE
GETS OFF WRONG
IN BRIDGE CASE


Th~ very good sense of the editor
OF the Clifton Success is considerably
at fault in the last issue of that pub
Ecation.
The article which appeared in this
paper on Saturday, Oct. Is. in answer
To an article in the Clifton Success.
regarding the abandonment of the
project of the Main street bridge. was
not directed as has been falsely stat
ed, by the Success, I'm an effort to
inJure Clifton. In the article to which
THE SENTINEL replied. this state
ment was quoted from the Success of
the previous day, The money for the
new bridge treferring to the Clifton
BRIDGE, will be taken out of funds
now in the county treasury, WHICH
WE'RE LEVIED FOR THE MAIN
STREET STRUCTURE. To replace
the depleted fund another special levy
will be made for the Clifton bridge,
hut there will be no delay waiting for
the taxes to come, as the money will
be taken out of funds already in the
'county treasury"
To this proposed action THE SEN
ITlNEL most vigorously protested
stating that there could be neither
excuse or reason. with the money al
ready in sight for the Main street
bridge TO divert such funds to an
other and later project because, if
they did, the people of this city and
all the outlying districts south and
west of this city would be materially
injured and would enter a determined
protest.
Now comes the Clifton Success and
by its editor, attempts to make an
other statement to sustain its charge
that THE SENTINEL was attempting
to injure Clifton, by pretending that
the statement it makes NOW is the
one il made before, Such action Is
untrue and not at all complimentary
to paper. that desires that between
Il -aaS the people, there 4shell he bond
oi Confidence owing to the truthful
ness of its statement regarding the
people or public matters.
Follow the lines carefully which we
now quote and see how greatly they
differ from the original statement of
where the funds were to be obtained
for the building of the Clifton bridge
THE Grand Junction SENTINEL
is attempting to make political CAPT
tai out of the action of the commits
sioners in agreeing to make levy
for the Clifton bridge"
Does that sound at all like the
original statement which was, and we
will repeat 1t to make sure, "The
money for the new bridge will be
taken out of funds now in the county
treasury, which were levied for the
Main street structure"
If the Success desires to repudiate
its own language, of course, we can
say nothing further. But quoting
from what he DID say originally, and
also quoting that which HE NOW
SAYS he SAID, both statements be-
ing entirely at variance with each
other. we think the Success is fully
convicted of cheaD political chicanery.
We think Mr.. Thompson, candidate
for county commissioner on the re-
publican ticket, has given assurances
to his friends in and around Clifton,
that he will follow the course orig
inally stated by the Success as the
policy which would obtain If he were
elected
