AS was his custom, Mr.. Rankin arose

Burton Entertains Brother.

H. S. Burton is entertaining
his brother H. B. Barton of Salt
Lake City this week, who is on
way from Nebraska, where he
has been on a business trip. Mr..
Burton is 70 years Of age, but it
is Us spry as many men Of sixty.
II is man who takes a deep
interest in the affairs of his
state and the country in general
and can talk over the political
situation with remarkable famil-
iarity. A pleasant coincidence
with his visit was a visit Tues
day from a friend Of the Bur-
tons of forty years ago, who
lives at Galesburg, Illinois. 1t
had been forty years since they
had met and it is needless to say
they had a good visit. When
Mr.. Burton went home to dinner
Tuesday he was greatly sur
prised to and his old friend
Elisha Miles there awaiting him.

All Roads Lead to Golden.

All roads seem to lead to Col
den. At least this seems to be
the idea of the county commits
sioners in distributing improve
ments. Arvada people thought
last spring that by the time snow
fell and a good while before, the
new ridge" road would be open
and ready for travel, but alasl
their hopes have been blasted.
The way it looks now, this road
will be torn up all next year and
unfit for travel, while the other
roads leading toward Golden are
being put in fine shape. A great
deal of work is now being put on
the road leading from the Golden
road north through Bluffs sta
ton for two or three miles and
thence a mile or so east. To a
caSua observer 1t would seem
that the tendency is to keep the
roads open and in good shape
and make them feed Golden us
far as the appropriations and
woodworking season will carry
them. Now, the Enterprise is
not a "knocker," but it wants to
see Arvada get what is coming
to it. We don't blame Golden
for asking and receiving all il
can get-and right here We
might add that we Arvadans
have probably been sleeping on
the job.

klVada Gets Pen
F1anl From PanSieS


Arvada wins the cup. This was
the final decision of the arbitra-
ton board after a careful cor
sideration of the contentious
made on both sides, Tuesday
evening. The board called in a
veteran baseball player and
manager in the person of a Mr..
Jamison, who knows the game,
and who promptly decided the
points at issue. He ruled that
the umpire had no power to for
felt the game to Arvada on the
rainy Sunday. That it was up
to the managers to decide wheth-
er the grounds were in shape to
play. If one claimed they
were and the other claimed they
were not and refused to play,
there was no power to force him
to play.
He also ruled that Arvada's S
contention over Sundays game
would stand and that the penant
should come to them. The point
in contention over last Sundays S
game. aside from several minor
points, was that a score in the
last half of the ninth inning
should not be counted because of
interference from the roOters
for the Pansies. The score stood
3 to 2 in favor of Arvada at the
last half of the ninth inning and
darkness was coming on so fast
that it was almost impossible to
see the ball. Batter Lenhart hit
the ball and made first base.
Cane was at bat and two strikes
and one ball had been called.
Lenhart stole off first on pass
ed ball and Jack Lercher, catch
er, attempted to stop Lenhart at
second. Doc" Lercher on sec
ond dropped the ball and Len
hart went on to third. Lercher
threw to Graf on third and it
went by him. Skinny" Rich
ards, short stop got it. In the
meantime Lenhart went on to
home plate and the rooters clos
ed in behind him so that Rich
ards threw the ball over their
heads and it was too high and
Jack Lercher missed it and the
umpire called the man safe. He
then called the game on account
of darkness. Mr.. Jamison ruled
that his decision would not stand
both on account of the interfer-
ence and also on account of call
ing the game in the middle of an
inning. He says they might
have played on and wot a dozen
scores, but they could not have
counted them with that decision
in the way.
Another solar plexus blow was
dealt the Pansies when Mr.. Jam.
ison ruled that they should play
another game with Edgewater
to determine which should have
second place. The contention
was that the Pansies made Edge,
water forfeit the game to them,
because Edgewater was abo ut
five minutes late when time fol
the game arrived. They had
sent word that they had beer
detained on account of funeral
but the Pansies made no allow.
