Midland Trail will be organized this
Spring. kilograms received today

Grafton last night that organization
decided TO unite with the Midland
Trail association, thus forming a

any other and runs through the most
desirable section of the state.
Lynn w. Bloom. secretary of tn.
Concordia Auto club. wired Secretary
Antics this morning as follows:
by a vote of 127 TO 172 last night
at Clay Center the Red Line division
OF the Midland Trail voted to ask YOU
to log the route by way OF Concordia
instead of by way of the bad roads
in Glasco. We want to cooperate
with you to make this the best line
in Kansas. We have already painted
our poles and will add the tiger stripe
OF the Midland Trail Twenty-one
cars and 100 business men made the
trip yesterday through a snow storm
for a miles.
Mr.. Antics and the roads commit
tee of the Chamber OF Commerce in
yited the Red Line people to join the
Midland Trail and they have accept
ed il with enthusiasm. 1t is now up
tc the association to see that the
road is logged and advertised from
Kansas City to the coast through
this city.
My. Antics reg1rdsf the MESA ges
this morning as among the most I'm
portant evidence OF the strength of
the trail association that has devel-
cpcd in several months. "Unques-

FORMER FRIENDS Of
MURDERED MAN At
GRAND JURY HEARING
Brother Of Swanson and Grover
Cornett ReheaTSe Story Of
killing TO Local Men.

Al Swanson, Grover Cornett and
Charles WeatherwaX, the first two
companions and the latter a business
partner of Peter Swanson, were in
Grand Junction and testified before
the grand jury last January. The
trio made every effort to keep their
presence secret and but few people
knew anything about them. Swan
son came from Oregon and Weather
wax and Cornett came from Mont
rose to give their evidence.
The ghost of Peter Swanson has
lowered about the court house at
every term of court since the murder.
Rumors of arrest. accusations and
counter charges have been whispered
and in official circles, the shadow
of the murdered sheepherder has
been ever present. \ year ago last
autumn when the first grand jury
was called there were positive declar-
ations made that an Indictment
against from ten to fifteen cowmen
would be made. but the true bills
failed to contain any charges of MUIR
der.
The indictments we're looked for
again last October when the grand
Jury made its first report and then
adjourned until January. Again they
did not develop. The fact that a
large number of cattlemen from
Whitewater and Hannah creek testi-
fled before the grand jury was not
generally taken to mean that the
Swanson matter was up, but was sup
posed to be an investigation into
cattle thefts. When ii became known
yesterday that Undersheriff Watson
had left the city and was on his way
home with n prisoner there was an
instant suspicion that the grand jury
had taken steps to avenge the old
crime. II was not. however. until
The Sentinel was issued thut the sig
nificance of the officers trip became
known.

alone II has now been agreed that
nc action viii be taken until after
tomorrow's meeting in Palisade.
The deadlock in the association
has been caused by a failure to agree
as to the seventh man on the selling
agency board. Each association has
three members. and Palisade stock
holders have been protesting that the
Western Slope was being given to
much power. although originally all
three Palisade directors favored the
present plan. Two CT the members
of the board, Messrs Bridges and
Harvey. who opposed its adoption
were on the committee which reported
II to the full board, but since then
there has been objection because OF
the personnel OF the two committees.
Efforts were made to agree upon
the name OF seventh member to
act on the board. as referee instead
OF leaving that power with the county
judge. but no agreement GOULD be
reached. The names OF II. G. -Crissey
the Palisade banker and V. C. Tai
bert, cashier of the Grand Valley
National bank were presented but re-
jected by a tie vote of the Grand
Junction board, and now the original
proposition will probably be carried.
unless the four directors which have
been opposing the compromise can
agree upon a satisfactory referee.

TINKER And BROWN TELL

(The Man Who Pitched the Cubs It

There may be some few of my friends

thing when jumped from the ranks OF
organized baseball to the Federal
league.
However, a great majority of them
have congratulated ME on the move
and on every hand hear naught b II
well wishes and predictions OF success
for the new major league. And don't
let it get into your thoughts that the
Federal is not a major league.
The fans will be surprised when they
cad the roster of the teams. The public
wants a baseball game and they OF
course want to see stars perform.
Well, some of the real stars will be
seen wearing uniforms of the Federals.
l was given anything but square deal
in the National league.
They first ried to railroad me to the
minors and then when I went to Gin
cinnati l was certainly not given the
best of treatment. The chances are that
my salary would have been cut had I
gone back to the Reds for the coming
season.
l am just as confident of the success
of the Federal league as l am in my
ability to still win ball games. And
just watch me take my turn on the fir
ing line with my St Louis club.
In st. Louis l find fans clamoring
for winning ball club. They have had
such poor baseball in the Missouri city
for so long that many of the fans have
lost heart; in fact, some of the old fans
of the city quite the game entirely dur
ing the past season. But they are all
pulling for the success of the Feds and
have promised to give them winning
combination.
