TRAMPS TAKE ONE
AND EckERT DOES DITTO

1t was a double header ball game
at the ball park Sunday, the first be-
ing the Sugar Factory Tramps and
California Mesa, and the second an
air tight contest between Eckert and
Delta Modern Woodmen.
James Killian and Billy Thyret
were running mates for the 'Tramps,
and the Mesa boys employed two
pairs. The first pitcher who is mere.
youth, did wonderfully we'll during
his turn on the mound, allowing but
few hits but his support was poor
His successor, who had the faculty
OF twisting his anatomy into bow
knot, Jared but little better, but
worked out well in the pinches aside
from the eighth inning when heavy
batsmen slaughtered him to two sin
giles, two doubles and three runs.
The score for this contest was 90
in favor of the Tramps.
1t was case of too much pitcher
when the Woodmen faced Ament
pitcher for the Eckert squad, the
Woodmen being shut out until the
seventh. They missed mighty good
chance to score in the fourth, when
with two men already laid to rest
Mueller and Marsh connected, and by
steals reached third and second bas
es, Nicholson fouled out to Estes
ending the struggle.
The fans for the Woodmen went
wild when with the bases full Krause
knocked a homer, scoring four. This
was seven inning game and the
score was Ga, the Woodmen score
being all in one big COB of glory
CRIME and grins.

FAIR GROUNDS BEING
IMPROVED FOR BIG EVENT

The new barns being constructed
at the county fair grounds for the ac-
commodation of OF the race horses
are nearing completion. About forty
box stalls are being prepared and the
dissatisfaction expressed in the past
by some of the race horse men on ac-
count of lack of proper accommoda-
tions will be entirely done away with
this year. The horses this year will
be kept in better shape and conse-
quently will be able to do better work
which will make the races just that
much more interesting.
Interest in the fair all over the
county continues to grow and the
quality, as we'll as the quantity of the
exhibits should equal and eclipse any
thing which has been shown in the
past. Meetings are being held all
over the county in preparation for
this great event. Cedaredge, Orchard
City, Paonia, Bone Mesa, Rogers
Mesa. Fruitland Mesa. Pitkin-Lam-
born Mesa and Garnet Mesa have
each been holding meetings which
have been we'll attended by the peo-
PIC ii bhooC anu
a keen spirit Of local patriotism and
rivalry is being evinced. especially as
the plan Of Judging the community
exhibits this year will give the indi-
vidual credit for his own personal
showing. Each person receiving an
award in the Horticultural. Agricul-
tural and Pantry Stores departments
will help out his community just that
much this year in the contest for
community honors. provided he has
registered from that community be-
fore hand. at the time of entering his
exhibits.
Colonel Davis reports that he has
received numbers of inquiries regard
ing the Wild West program for this
year. and this feature of the Fair
doubtless will remain at the high
standard set by previous fairs in this
county.

PRISONER THROWS PEPPER
IN EYES OF JAilER

A thrilling experience was that Of
Walter H. Beckley, deputy sheriff OF
Delta county, Saturday evening when
at about 500 o'clock he entered the
cage for the purpose of returning j.
]. Baker to his cell from which he
had been allowed temporary liberty
during the afternoon.
AS Beckiey opened the door James
Gazaway, who was being detained
pending a court order, spoke to Beck
ley, and when the latter turned he
was greeted with handful of red
pepper, which struck him full in both
eyes. At the same time Gazaway
threw himself into the door of the
cage and attempted to break. But
Beckley was too quick for him and
though blinded and suffering from the
burning pepper, succeeded in hold
ing his man. A tussle ensued, and
Baker, realizing the situation, beck
oned to Sheriff Wilson through the
bars, who promptly came to Beckley's s
assistance.
Gazaway was remanded to his cell
and henceforth his keeper says he
will be permitted no more liberties.
Both Baker and Gazaway are being
held in the Delta Jail from Montrose
county, but are entirely different
types. Baker was convicted of mur.
dering James Kelly of Montrose in
November, 1920, and is awaiting the
decision of the supreme court regard.
ing an appeal.
Gazaway was sentenced to life
term at Canon City at the last term
of the Montrose County District
Court for being an accessory to the
crime in which Lemuel Hecox, watch
man of the Cashin Mine was brutally
murdered and beheaded. He, too is
awaiting the decision of the supreme
court. The Delta Jail is being employ
ed to incarcerate these two prisoners,
as the Montrose Jail is regarded as
inadequate.
