Delta High Team
Loses to Tigers

Tigers wallop Delta in Game Re
plete with Fine Playing Score is 20
TO =" These were the words com
prising great, glaring headlines at the
top of front page of the daily news
papers OF Grand Junction last Friday
in reports of the big game of football
between the Delta High school football
team and the Tigers of the Mesa
county metropolis on the afternoon
of Thanksgiving day.
Some seventy-five or eighty rooters
escorted the local team to Grand
Junction Thanksgiving morning on
the special which left this city a. 80
and were willing to cheer and do all
else to aid the team in its struggle
for victory, but even at that they
we're doubtful from the very first OF
taking the game though the only bat
tie they had won so far this season
was from the Tigers by close score.
The game, however. was one OF the
best played on the Grand Junction
field this season and the five or six
hundred witnesses report themselves
well pleased with the contest Phil
Harding was given ample credit for
his work on the local team-in fact
Junction newspapers dub him the star
OF the occasion.
The Daily News of our sister city
in commenting on the game. has this
to say: go to I. That's the score of
yesterdays brilliant Thanksgiving
game in which the Tigers, hard press
ed at times. defeated the Delta High
school football team at the Fair
Grounds before crowd of between
500 and 600. The Tigers. Coach
Giauques scoring battery. thus re
trieved themselves for their defeat at
the hands of Delta earlier in the sea
son. showing that form changes as the
season advances.
The day was ideal for the game so
far as sky conditions went although
the expected cold snap was present
with a vigor. The people had to keep
moving TO keep warm.
The Tigers won the game by un-
questionable superiority, and they
bucked up against team containing
faster runners. Harding for instance,
the quarter on Delta's team, being
quicker on his feet than any junction
player, Most of the play in the first
half was in Delta territory and in the
second half. when Delta scored its
only touchdown, the battle waged back
and forth over the center field, in Ii
ger territory at least half of the time.

Sales Show Much
Ready Money

Auctioneer w. A Davis reports a
public sale of 5000 last week south of
town. where every dollar was paid in
cash and not note even offered.
At another public sale in North
Delta, where $1,000 worth of property
was sold to the highest bidders, there
was only one note given. and that for
sixty dollars.
Other public sales in the country
have been notable for the extra large
proportion of cash transactions.
The custom of public sales has been
to accept good notes on sums over
ten dollars, at ten per cent interest
for stated time, with the inducement
of five per cent discount for cash.
OF course this means pretty heavy
interest and as bankable notes are
stipulated. the customer may as well
borrow the money at the banks at
ten per cent and save the five per
cent discount, if it is necessary for
him to do so.

Killed In Runaway
Near Austin Friday

Walter Earl Bennett, eighteen year
old son of Mr.. and Mrs. William Ben
nett who reside about mile this side
of Austin, met instant death at 1:3G
last Friday afternoon when the team
he was driving ran away and threw
him to the ground with great
force.
The Young man had hitched his
team to the water tank and was on
his way to the Gunnison river where
he expected to fill the tank. The team
became frightened at something when
nearing the river at the State bridge
and started out on a mad run. Ben
nett. according to a neighbor who was
the only eye witness to the runaway,
and he at distance which put him
at a disadvantage in following the
race, held to the reins for time in
his effort to keep his team in the road
and then the wheels on one side struck
some condition in the roadway which
caused both the tank and driver to
be thrown out.
This witness hastened to the scene
and found Bennett with a fractured
skull and several other serious bruises

Twenty Round
Boxing Match

The twenty round boxing match be
tween John McCarty of this city and
Kid Banks of Ouray last Saturday
evening at Ridgway was witnessed by
some two hundred and fifty or three
hundred ring enthusiasts of the west
ern slope and all are referring to il
as one of the cleverest boxing matches
they have ever seen. Both men en-
tered the ring in good form and many
say that the Delta boy had much the
best of it all the way through and
doubtless could have made a finish
fight of the contest had he so desired.
The match was finally decided a draw
in the twentieth round and after the
two men left the ring Banks stated
that he didn't care for another go
with McCarty.
Mike McCarty of this city and n
younger brother of John was in a
preliminary match with a young Ridg'
way boxer and easily won the decis-
ion in two fast rounds. Two auto
loads of Delta men drove over to Ridg-
way that night and attended this clev-
er sport exhibit.

Latest War News

The placing of an order for $40.

held for delivery upon the close of the
war is believed by many to mean
that the Kaiser really intends to let
his cousins off in the near future.

done soon to put the remaining live
people at work, producing something.
or even the crowned stomachs might
be in danger of feeling the pangs of

When Henry Ford gets across with

one end or the other But until then

was also on the road and the team
had proceeded with the running gear.
The county coroner was at once noti-
fled of the accident by telephone and
instructions were given to take the
body to the home of the lads parents.
This was complied with and later the
coroner went to the home and made
examinations which left no doubt
whatever in his mind as to cause of
death and it was decided unnecessary
to hold an inquest.
One point which could not be deter
mined was actual cause Of the lads
death. The tank had not fallen upon
him. the fall at this particular point
could not have produced the existing
injuries and it is generally believed
that the frightened horses had either
trampled upon or done some kicking

not an individual loan. but an aggre-
