of the medicine which the latter
handed Tommy Burns, according to a
letter just received by the writer from
Joe Woodman, Langford's manager.

HOLD-UP NEAR
OURAy WAS A
PICNIC JOKE

1t is too bad to spoil a good story
but the various papers in this vicinity
and elsewhere that took the cork
under and published under scare
heads that yarn about hold-up near
Ouray the other day, must take it all
back.
The story was sent out from in
spired sources and was greedily COB
bled by many of the papers. The
story did not look good" to the SEN
tinel. so it started an investigation
before publishing the hair-raising
narrative.
Authentic word now comes from
Ouray that this was one of the big
Sest fake stories ever sent out of
western Colorado. 1t was simply a
joke Two members of picnic party
held-up the others and all the men in
the party knew of the "hold-up." "
Ii was never at any time considered
anything but a joke by any member
of the party
Ouray and the people involved Sc
cured some cheap notoriety and the
public in general of that section are
decidedly indignant over the matter.
II was easy enough to ascertain that
II was fake of the worst kind II

1t last Saturday morning. but had
put their sherlock Holmes. Jr." on

RAINS HELD UP
BY HOLIDAY

That's the trouble with holi-
day" said Observer Hardinge this
morning. No matter what the pre-
diction is for that day. the fact that
it is a holiday may throw you out
altogether. Now the forecast was for
cooler and showers. but we only got
the cooler part of il. The showers
were held up by the holiday and now
we don't know where they are"
Hardinge says the holiday was OBJ
served by Tacit consent. We don't
know and care less who this Tacit
person may be. but if Mr. Tacit wants
to observe a holiday twice a week ii
is none of our affairs. What we
want is the showers that we are en-
titled to without any more foolish
ness How much chance we stand of
getting them is shown by the follow
ing report:

Mr.. Fitzgerald, however, hap

Now comes the crownlng event of
the season on the western slope, the
thirteenth annual road race between
Basalt and Glenwood Springs on Sun
day, August l4th. Each race has
been better than the previous one and
this years will undoubtedly be the
biggest one of them all. In all the
past years not one of the riders has
ever complained of unfair treatment,
and the fact that the manager and
promoter of each one of these races
is Mr.. c. NJ. keck, passenger agent of
the Colorado Midland at Glenwood
Springs, is sufficient evidence that
every rider gets a square deal. Its
the cleanest sport ever introduced on
the western slope. and if you look for

cial Colorado Midland race train leav-

the suspension of Phil T. Chinn. own
