son of w. w Stone on the evening of
July % last. All the principals in
the action are residents of the Lazear
district and there was much interest
apparent by citizens of that section.
The Crouch boys, it seems. owned a
tensive family and this dog family
played pranks in Stones wheat field
much to the detriment of his crop.
He protested and finally captured the
mother dog and shut off her liberty.
The Crouch boys went over to the
Stone place, about three hundred
yards from their own home. to get the
chained animal when few hot words
eventually led to blows and Stone
came out second best with his nose
broken and a few other injuries. The
case is yet in hand as Independent

ing
The two young men, Guy Sprinkle,
white, and Charles Brown. colored,
charged with pulling off a prize fight
at Austin short time since. were the
star performers in the court room all
day Wednesday and, if possible. held
a bigger and more attractive audi
ence than did the defendants proceed
ing them. Officer Flora and his three
special deputies who aided in the ar
rest of the fighters and their friends
at the time of the supposed fight,
were on hand to testify as to the prize
fight appearances and conditions of
the hall at Austin when they made
the arrest and Mr. Weyranch was
present to review his knowledge of
the purse and other arrangements as
told him by Brown prior to the bout.
The ring, it developed. was simply
few boards laid on the floor of the
hall and there was no ropes of any
kind to remind the fighters of the
extent of their foot racing. The two
men made several passes at each
other. both landed once or twice in
mild manner and then the officers
came in and mussed up the whole af-
fair. The case was given to the jury
at about O'Clock that evening and at
6 verdict of mot guilty" returned.

DELTA HIGH SCHOOL BOYS

The Delta High school boys made

last Friday to show their speed at
basket ball against the school teams
OF that section. Their first perform
ance was at Paonia Friday night when
they met defeat by n score OF rs to
II. A social dance and luncheon was
served In their honor following the
game and all are reporting an enjoy
able time even II they did fail to take
the game.
The next night at Hotchkiss another
poor showing was made against the
High school team OF that town, but we
were unable to get definite figures as
TO the result. Another dance and gen.
eral good time was given in honor OF
the boys from this city.
The Navy club team lined up against
the town team OF Montrose on Tues.
day evening and came home with but
little to say OF their game or expert
ences.

Chaos in Mexico

President Madero has been taken
prisoner and will be exiled.
Gustav Madero, brother of Francisco,
was executed.
General Hucrta has been elected
provisional president. Amelio v.
Comes also claims the presidency and
Mexico remains practically in state
of upheaval.
President Taft is slow to act in the
matter of intervention, so near the
close of his term, unless 1t becomes
necessary to protect American citi-
zens, but it is generally agreed that
Intervention must come before the
Mexican situation is settled.
Battleships and 10000 blue jackets
have been rushed to Cuba to be held
in readiness.
