C0NSERVATOR FOR
JUDGE JOS. f. ONG

The matter OF the mental incom-
petence of Judge Joseph E Ong was
taken up in the county court this
morning before a jury
While the claim was not made that
the judge is insane. yet the allega-
tions were to the effect that he was
sufficiently weak mentally to be un-
able to attend to his business affairs
and that If a conservator was not ap-
pointed, his entire property would be
dissipated and the old gentleman left
penniless.
Among the witnesses examined
were Benton Canon, Dr. H. S Day.
William Campbell, Fred w. Halbouer.
Guy V. Sternberg and Straud NJ
Logan.
Their testimony all tended to the
substantiation of the allegations
made by County Attorney Ben Grif-
fifth. Judge Ong was represented by
Attorney George Bullock. There was
no contest in the matter as the judge
realizes his own inability.
The jury was composed of Clarence
Coe. ID. b, Wright, Sterling B. Lacy,
J. NJ. Blasier, Charles Van Hoore-
beke and Victor c. Garms.
After being out a short time the
jury brought in verdict in accord
ance with the allegations.
The appointment of conservator
will then be considered and the court
will designate some one capable of
looking after the judges business to
the latters advantage.
Judge Ong. while not so wealthy
ms he was at one time, is still the
possessor of a considerable amount
of property. mostly real estate and
water rights.
He holds several thousand shares
of Virginia Mesa stock. is a large
holder of Bonita valley land has in
terests at DeBeque and other places.
which If conserved would keep the
judge in comfort for the rest of his
life.
On nearly all matters except that
of business Judge Ong is perfectly
competent to be heard. His repartee
is incisive and his mind has lost but
little of its brilliance of former days.

tons, and the daily capacity of output
of American mills is about Alps
tons. That would make the actual
material on hand between four and
five days supply.
These figures will be a revelation
to thousands of people who have had
no idea of the narrow margins on
which under existing conditions. the
newspaper and general publication
business of the country must depend
for its paper supply. 1t is easy to
conceive condition whereby a strike
in the paper mills. the publishing
business of the country might be tied
up. And in the face of this situation,
the high tariff republicans of con-
gress do nothing TO remove the bar
rier which prevents Canada coming
to our relief with her wood pulp pro-
ducts. thereby permitting the accu-
mutation of enough paper on this
side of the border to safeguard the
publishing industry against the ex-
igencies liable to arise at any moment
from so small a margin of reserve
paper supply. .EGlenwood Avalanche

MOTHER ATTEMPTS
DOUBLE MURDER
Especial to The Sentinel. I


Denver, June 17.-An attempt at
claim the attention of the courts, was
reported here today by States Dairy
Commissioner Robert L. Cochran.
who declares that he was Just able to
prevent the drowning of a pair of
newly arrived twins by their mother
at his ranch near here yesterday.
There will be no prosecution be-
cause the would-be murderess is a
COW. the head of fifty fine Jersies
that roam the Cochran pastures. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Cochran, yesterday he
noticed the old COW standing in the
middle of small pond. while beside
her there struggled in the water
dark object which she was trying to
push beneath the surface.
Walking out to investigate, Coz h
ran discovered that the object of the
cows interest was a newly born calf.
which he rescued and brought to tho
ranch house.
Soon after, the COW broke through
the fence of the corral in which she
had been confined after being driven
from the pond, and made her way
once more to the water. where anoth-
er calf was born. The second Twin.
however, was saved from the expert
ence of its sister by the watchfulness
of Cochran, although the unnatural
mother will have nothing to do with
her offsprings and the calves are be
ing raised by hand.
