Lion and loeomotlNa.

A construction train was putting
along with heavy load of material,
near Gwelo. when a full grown lion
was sighted stretched right across the
line and basklng peacefully in the sun.
In reply to the whistle of the engine
the brute looked up lazily, but did not
attempt TO move. The efforts OF, the
driver and the stoker to drive him
OF the line by pelting him with billets
Of wood were no better rewarded. The
train was on the point of coming to q
standstill when the lion lost his TEN
per. He took sudden spring az the
engine, seeking in, vain for something
on its smooth surface into which he
could drive his claws and thus secure
a foOthold. Again and again the beast
sprang. falling clear OF the engine
every time. The driver then realized
that the best thing 10 do was 20 go
full steam ahead and trust 30 the
weight OF the trucks behind the Train
on the line 60 clear the lion from its
path. This was done. with the result
that the lion. n magnificent specimen.
was cut 10 pieces by the engine wheels.

when it was cleaned off there was
little appearance OF its having been

initials which looked like b. ID. +.
The band was Of heavy gold and

VETS TELL TALES
Of Law VIOLATION
WHEN CITY WAS WET

Nearly universally the local people
who were ardently supporting the
movement to return the saloons to
Grand Junction before Tuesday,
overwhelming defeat of the wet
cause are now strong in declaring
that they hope to see the bootleggers
dealt with most drastically. Many
even advocate vigilance committee
violence in case the law violations do
not cease.
After election stories of the
good old wet days" are plenty on
the streets now that the question has
been settled so decisively by the peo-
pies vote. One well known citizen
said yesterday: u myself saw one
of the most disgusting sights imagin-
able when the Pacific saloon was in
operation across from the depot.
Ringing brothers circus arrived in
this city on a Sunday The saloon
was opened up in bra2en defiance of
the law on Sunday closing and those
thirsty circus hands bought every
bottle of beer and every keg on the
place and the foam and slop was
scattered all over the floor in reek-
ing pools. Men bought bottles of
beer, drank it on the spot and had
the bottles refilled with whiskey be-
fore leaving. Hundreds of dollars
worth of booze was sold that Sunday
and every ounce of it was boot
legged" being in violations of the
regulations. On another Sunday /
myself entered four saloons by the
back door and found men drinking
at the bar"
With such stories as this. the wet
sympathizers join in the cry, Now
make Grand Junction so dry that
you cant get drop and close the
clubs, too-close them all and keep
them closed. They have no more
right to run than any saloon or
wholesale house"

.GLENWOOD TEAMS
WILL Be HERE ON
NEXT SATURDAY

Saturday the Glenwood Springs
high school football team will play
the local Tigers at the fair grounds
1t will be the second game of the
season with teams outside Of the val
ley. The Glenwood team has been
making a first class record and is
picked from squad Of fast young
sters who have been under a compe-
tent coach all fall.
The high school girls VIII also
meet the basketball girls from Glen
wood at the Y. NJ C. a. in the even
ing. Last year the Glenwood team
proved the hardest proposition the
locals met and the game here Sat
urday evening should have intense
interest. The local girls with no
victories TO their credit in the two
games played are determined to get
on their feet in the scoring depart
ment.
The Tigers under Frank DuCray
have been coached very rigidly since
the games with Fruita Saturday
when a number of weak places We're
apparent and il is very evident that
they will have to sew the ragged line
up a bit if they expect to create a
defense that will win from the Colo
rado Springs Terrors on Thanksgiv-
ing day in this city. The locals have
not met any very strong teams this
year to date and would probably be
greatly dismayed to meet opposition
that threatens. II is hoped that they
develop greater strength for the
game Saturday and play a smashing
game of the old school under the new
er rules.

THOUSANDS GET
ELECTION NEWS
FROM SENTINEL

Over one thousand people in Grand
Junction and the Grand Valley were
kept informed of the election returns
by The Daily Sentinel Tuesday night.
probably the largest number of tele-
phone calls ever connected in the
same length of time were made to
secure information from this office.
In front of The Sentinel windows
where bulletins were posted at reg
ular intervals a big crowd stood until
well after eleven O'Clock. Inside the
office the crowd was even larger.
The Majestic theater, the Elks
club and the Interstate cigar store
were furnished with bulletins as rap
idly as the returns came in from any
of the wards.
The following morning the news of
the election was telephoned by this
paper to seven towns in western Col
orado where keen interest was eX-
pressed in the outcome of the election
here.
To the telephone operators who did
such efficient work The Sentinel eX-
presses its thanks. The tabulation
of the returns as received was handl-
ed capably by James X. McClintock
who also has our thanks.
To the several Judges and clerks
in the various wards who kindly pre-
pared the vote results for us. we eX-
tend our sincere thanks and appre-
citation.

BUT 80 CARS OF
APPLES REMAIN
TO Be SHIPPED

A total of about 1,040 cars of fruit
have been shipped from the valley in
carload lots by the Grand Junction
Fruit Growers association this year
to date, exclusive of express matter
and Manager Fletcher stated to The
Sentinel that about so more cars re-
main in the valley to be shipped and
then the 1913 crop will be entirely
cleaned up.
Last years crop Jagged and 1l5
cars We're shipped after January /,
but this year there will be nothing
left for shipment in 1914 and the
fruit is being moved at the present
time about as fast as it can be han
died and is bringing first class prices
all along the line. The 115 cars men
toned are included in the 1,03O cars.
For volume of business the returns
this year are the highest the local
association has ever paid out.
Manager Fletcher says that people
who are expecting to put away apples
in their cellars had better be buying
them at once as they will be very
scarce all over the western slope by
January. The total shipments viii
be smaller this year than was antici-
pated, due largely to the heavy storm
in September that took about 20 per
cent of the apples.

Palisade Grouer
Says Peaches Did
Not Pay Heavily

]. S. Martin, well known Pali-
sade fruit grower, well known here,
was among the visitors in the city
yesterday. and stated to The Senti-
mel that the average prices that were
received for peaches in the upper
valley were not satisfactory to many
growers, yet better than the prices
received in 1912.
Mr.. Martin is very hopeful that
something can be done, and soon,
too, to insure the growers a better
return on their fruit. He says tnat
ranchers who secured their land
cheap many years ago are not as bad
off as those who paid the fancy pri-
ces, and are not making per cent
on their investment.
Mr.. Martin admits that much of
the other fruit raised has been bring
ing satisfactory prices, but says that
Elbertas were disappointing in their
returns.

GROSS ADVOCATES
MILITANT CHURCH

Tonight at the Christian church
Evangelist Cross will preach on
who's Who and What We Stand
For" 1t is well known by this time
in Grand Junction that Mr.. Cross be-
lieves that the church must take en-
phatic positions on the great moral
and social questions of the day. His
sermon tonight will doubtless be in
tensely interesting to all believers in
vital and practical christianity.
There will be special music by the la
dies quartette.
Mr.. Cross lectured last night on
"The Ups and Downs of Life" He
maintained that the downs have
their value in teaching us to appre-
ciate the ups" by contrast; but that
life has far more ups than downs.
Some of the ups" which he en-
phasized were, give up, take up lift
up and rise up, All social or COM
munal action, he maintained, is bas-
ed on mutual concession.
We must learn to give up" before
we can be of any use in society, in
the family or in the church. The
next thing is to take up" our cross
and follow after Christ. Our cross is
not the petty annoying things of life,
but ii is the new attitude of respon
sibility for the welfare of society that
man assumes when he becomes
true follower of Jesus Christ. Hav-
ing thus taken up the cross, he be-
comes one of those who lift up the
burdens of humanity, and thus he
will rise UP toward that stature of
divine manhood set before us in the
earthly life of the Son of God.

PURE FOOD

The constant agitation for pure
food products has even affected the
processes used in the manufacture of
cider, which heretofore has always
been made by the methods of our
grandfathers.
After drinking n glass of this cider
one of our customers said II don't be-
lieve I ever drank cider before"
Ordinary cider is loaded with apple
pulp. called pomace. and contains be-
sides much of the dirt which adheres
to the apple. Latimer's cider contains
no dirt because
