taiion to turn The laugh upon some one
There was water pipe from the stand
that divided directly over the players
bench. one end being at the side Of the
bench. the other directly over the water
tank where the PLAYERS drank. The
joker had discovered that The pipe could
be used as telephone, and while his
team was going to pieces he sat where
he could lean over and speak into the
| open end of the pipe. Lobert had made
couple of bad misplays and as he
went to the water tank to get a drink
after the disastrous inning, tho Joker

rectlv from over l.obert 5 head and he
dropped the drinking cup and lcapcd
back, glaring up into the stand To see
who was roasting him. The party
in the box overhead looked supremely
innocent and unconscious, but Lobcrt
remained in front of the bench all dur

cover the offender.
The joker remained quiet until the
next player went TO the tank, then hc
hurled more Insults through the tube.

HAS THUMB BITTEN OFF DURING
A FIGHT.
Especial to The Sentinel. !

Boulder, Colo, March 16.-In a
fist fight with Tony Girardo, an Ital-
ian teamster, at gravel pit, six miles
southeast of Boulder yesterday, Rob-
ert Walker, well-known farmer of
that section, had the thumb of his
right hand completely bitten off.
Girardo was striking his team with
a shovel because the horses were un-
able to pull load of sand out of the
pit. Walker offered to get his own
team and help the Italian, who be-
came tnsolent and attacked the farm
er with a shovel. Walker knocked
the Italian down three times and
when Girardo arose the last time he
seized the farmers right hand and
bit off the thumb. Girardo was ar
rested by Chief Capp on the charge
of mayhem and lodged in the county

A MOST REMARKABLE SERIES OF
FLIGHTS ASSURED.
Wayne Abbott Has Spent Fl Years in
Balloon Ascension Work, Has
Made Over 1000 Flights
and Now Has Perfected
Remarkable Mon.
oPlane. -f
WILL ATTRACT BIG CROWDS.

Grand junction is to have an aerial
exhibition probably on May IL and
May IA
Again 1t is demonstrated that this
city is rapidly marching toward the
metropolitan class for few cities its
size in the country has, up to this
time, secured such contests as the
one that, according to announce
ments made today, is to be given in
Grand Junction.
Wayne Abbott, for the past twenty
years known as one of the most dar-
ing and successful aeronauts in Am
erica, is to bring to Grand Junction
on these dates in May his monoplane,
heavier than air machine, and If
present plans carry, he will give dar-
ing exhibitions and make sensational
flights in the machine at the fair
grounds.
Mr. Abbott arrived in Grand juno
ton last night en- route to Salt Lake
City and today he held conference
with President A. T. Gormley, of the
Mesa County Fair Association, and
other officials of the association and
it is understood that arrangements
have been partially completed for the
flights on the monoplane at the fair
grounds.
The dates of the flight are in the
week of the G. A. r. Encampment in
this city when hundreds of visitors
will be here from all parts of the
state.
1t is generally known among peo-
pie who have been interested in the
remarkable advancement made in
aerial navigation that Mr.. Abbott last
season made a number of flights,
very successfully, in a monoplane
made especially for him. All the past
winter MIR. Abbott has been devoting
his time and attention in the city of
Denver to the perfecting of mono
plane that will attain a speed and
reach a height surprising any heav-
ier than air machine now in existence.
He has had a new and larger engine
made especially for his machine and
with this engine added to his mono
plane Mr.. Abbott Is certain that he
will be able to surpass all of his
previous efforts with his smaller en-
gine and he modestly expects to
startle a good many people by the
speed and the height he Will be able
to gain. He states that his machine
is the lightest machine of its kind
ever made and at the same time will
prove the most powerful in many
ways. Mr.. Abbott has been making
experimental flights, quietly and pri-
vately, between Denver and Morrison,
all winter and he announces today
that he will make his first public
flight. with his remodeled monoplane
in few days. The Abbott monoplane
was manufactured entirely in the city
of Denver by the Colorado Aeronaut
Construction Co., and under the per-
sonal supervision of Mr.. Abbott.
There is no question but what the
announcement of the coming Of
Abbott and his monoplane will arouse
much enthusiasm in this city and

Alleged Strange Hallucinations of the
Man on Trial in This City Today
on Forgery Charge.-Insanity
is the Defense Set Up.
FORGERY ADMITTED; BUT IS HE
IN HIS RIGHT MIND?
Wife, Daughter and Numerous Other
Witnesses, Tell of the Itemarka-
ble Change That Came Over
Life of Once Highly
Respected Cidzeh.
KEEN INTEREST IN THE TRIAL

With witness after witness unfold
ing chapters in strange story of II
remarkable change in a mans life,
the trial of Andrew j. Harris, eX-
road overseer, former highly respect
ed citizen and devout churchman, in
progress today has proven one of the
most interesting cases ever tried in
this county.
Is Andrew j. Harris insane and ir-
responsible for his acts? or is Andrew
J. Harris sane and simply decided to
change from life of an upright ma
ture to a life of common crook or
criminal? These are questions that
have arisen in the minds of many
people today as the trial has pro-
gressed.
The evidence today has been of Il
most startling nature, and this af
ternoon it began to look as If the de-
fense may establish clearly the in
sanity of the prisoner.
The prosecution, however, main
tains that Harris is not insane, but
is criminal and responsible, and
should suffer for the crime of for.
gerry.
All through the trial today Har-
ris has sat alone, listening intently
to all of the testimony and constant
ly chewing gum-a habit he formed
good while ago. He never consults
with his attorney. He shows no emo
tion in the court room. In fact, he
seems Indifferent.
:. The trial will not be ended before
'tome time tomorrow.
Besides the charge of forgery on
which Harris is being tried, it will
be remembered that he is accused of
other similar offenses, and also in
formally accused of numerous thefts,
all of which offenses are branded in
this case as the acts of man with
a disordered brain.
Mrs. Harris was on the stand for
some time before noon and for quite
a while in the afternoon. She felt
keenly the humiliation to which the
family was necessarily subjected.
Her testimony was very frank and
very clearly given. To Mrs. Harris
went out the sympathy of practically
everyone in the court room.
Mrs. Blaine, aged 20 years, the
young married daughter of Andrew
j. and Mrs. Harris. next was called
to the stand, and her testimony was
largely oorroborative of that given
by her mother. Mrs. Blaine is very
attractive young woman. She, too,
keenly felt the situation in which
she was placed.
Rev. Gebhart was next called to
the stand. He is a minister at Grand
Valley. He testified as to how Mr..
Harris had approached him in
church one day after the close of a
sermon and praised seemingly lit
tie prayer as being the grandes.
thing he had ever heard.
Following the minister several
other witnesses were introduced.

Secretary Mahony of the Chamber
of Commerce yesterday evening re-
ceived telegram from the Chicago
Association of Commerce stating that
they had started their legislative COM
mittee on an investigation of the con-
ditions which surrounded the passing
of the 30,000,00O appropriation bill
in the Senate and that they would
report the result of their investiga-
tions at once. 1t is believed that
should this large commercial associa-
tion throw their influence behind the
passing of the bill that it would be
material aid. Many of the agricul-
tural irrigation countries are coming
to the front with their support as
rapidly as was expected. The fact
that the Chicago body ls taking up
the matter is good news to the men
