MoNTRosE DEFEATS DELTA
IN SWAT-FEST SUNDAY

The ball game scheduled for Sun
day afternoon between the teams OF
Montrose and Delta was disappoint-
ment to the fans in as much as
neither side seemed to be in form.
This was probably due to the fact that
several members of both teams had
attended the celebration at Gunnison
and were tired Three pitchers were
employed by Delta and two by Mont
rose. While the batsmen were pretty
free with hits, the pitching was not
any worse than the support on either
side. It was nearly standoff. but
Montrose got little the best of it,
making IA runs to Delta's II. At any
rate the fans declare they have no
kick coming, as it cost them only a
cent and half run to see the
game (?)
Stub" Warren was the star in cen
ter field. while "Chuck' Adams got
everything that came his way in
right Father Erger did some good
work on second base.
Jimmie Killian pitched the first six
innings and Bilbrough and Red" Hall
handed 'em out for an inning and a
half to finish.
Montrose's picher, Utt, was batted
out of the box before the fourth in
ming had been finished. and he was
relieved by Casey" Jones. who had
no better luck "F1etch' Cockreham
was umpire for Delta and gave very
good satisfaction in the way of de.
cisions OF course one always has to
except the grand stand 'umpires."
Score by innings:
Montrose 8 0 2 O 0 O 5 Ola

BOND ELECTION TO BE
HELD ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 8.

Public attention is invited to the
coming bond election by the property
owners of the City of Delta. to be
held at the City Hall on Tuesday,
August Sth, due notice of which has
been given in the Delta newspapers
and by posted notice at the city hall.
1t is desired tnat the people do not
confuse this election with the new
bonds for city water improvement.
They have no connection. The water
bonds are settled, the city has the
money and it is being spent on the
work of improvement now in course
of construction.
The proposed new bond issue is for
refunding s115,00O worth of an exist
ing Indebtedness against the city on
bonds issued some years ago Some
of these old bonds will mature in 1924,
and carried different rates of interest.
BY contract with the International
Trust company. of Denver. the city
proposes to refund these bonds at
lower rate of interest and thereby
obtain an extension of time for pay
ment from Is to So years. These re-
funding bonds will save the city thous.
ands of dollars and allow ample time
within which to pay them off without
any considerable burden.
The city commissioners express the
hope that sufficient interest will be
manifested in this election to the end
that substantial majority will vote
in favor of the refunding bonds. No
new debt is being created thereby. 1t
is simply refunding of an old debt
through the medium of bond issue
to take the place of the old bonds,
dollar for dollar, but at a lower rate
of interest.

FINE CROP OF WHEAT
GROWN ON NEW LAND

A field of wheat belonging to ]. H.
Winters at the brow Of California
Mesa above the brick yard has excit-
ed considerable attention from pass
ersby during the past few weeks.
This ground was never turned un-
til last year when it raised scatter
ing crop Of wheat. This year Mr..
Winters planted Dakota Blue Stem
Beardless winter wheat for which he
paid $500 hundred to make the first
try-out. He cut the wheat last week
and estimates at least fifty bushels to
the acre. It is claimed that on good
ground, that is land which has been
planted to other crops, this wheat will
make sixty five to seventy-fve bush
els to the acre.
Another advantage Mr.. Winters
claims is that where other varieties
fall down the Blue Stem Beardless
will Withstand the shock Of heavy
winter.

DELTA SIGNS UP FOR
cHAUTAUQUA IN 1928

That Delta people are more than
pleased with the chautauqua program
provided for them this year is evi-
denced by the fact that more than the
required amount of cash was paid in
during the week just closed and that
almost one hundred persons signed
the guarantee for another year.
From the writer's view point tho
best part of the program was reserv-
ed for the last part of the week. On
Thursday afternoon Miss Jane Goude,
reader of unusual ability, in company
with Miss Bernice Arthur, accordion
player, entertained a well filled house
for about two hours with a most ex-
cellent program. Miss Arthur is a
petite little miss with a most charm
ing manner and her entertainment is
decided departure from anything
heretofore seen on the chautauqua
platform.
Thursday evening the play Turn
to the Right" was presented by an
all star New York cast with Nolan
Leery, the ever popular stage favor
ite starring. On Friday afternoon
the children's pageant was presented
under the direction of Miss Ariastene
Dana of this city. Miss Dana was so
we'll recommended that the chautau-
qua management placed her in charge
of the children's work here rather
than to bring some one from outside.
This was followed by a lecture by
VIM. E. Wenner, the boys friend.
He gave an excellent lecture on the
rights of the child in the home,
school. church and neighborhood.
/ Many favorable comments were heard
on everyside regarding his lecture.
| A packed house greeted the enter
tainment of Eugene Laurant and
Company on Friday evening and this
was the close and to many the most
interesting part of the entire program.
Mr.. Laurant has appeared in Delta
before and besides being splendid
\ mystery man" always wins the
hearts of his audience because of his
interest in the children. Mr.. Laur-
ants entertainment alone is worth
the price of the season ticket.
The management expressed their
appreciation of their reception in
Delta and will be followed on their
way by the best wishes of many.
They went from here to Holdredge,
Nebraska. for their next engagement.

BEAUTY PARLoR OPENS
AT w. H. MATHERS' STORE

On Tuesday morning Mrs. Fred
Trechter opened up the new beauty
parlor in the rest room of Mathers'
Dry Goods Store.
This establishment, in keeping with
Mathers usual policy. has the most
up to date equipment to be found any
where not even excepting the larger
cities. Mrs. Trechter has had several
years experience in massage. mani
curing. shampooing. hair dressing and
all such similar work and thoroughly
understands her business.
Delta has long been waiting for
place of this kind where one could get
good service and courteous treatment
at reasonable price and it will no
doubt be welcomed by many in this
locality. So far as we know there is
no establishment of this kind in any
other town in Delta county, Run up
and have Mrs. Trechter give you the
once over and see what your friends
will say.

consumed a quantity of Hinkle pills
which he found about the house, and
within a short time was in dire need
Of a physicians services which were
promptly rendered.
The first intimation Mrs. Hawkes.
had that anything was wrong was
when the child fell to the ground and
laughingly told her that he couldn't
get up. and in a very few minutes
more he was rigid and unconscious.
The physician who arrived admin
istered a hypodermic which brought
the child out all right. He was un-
conscious for about an hour and a
half.
An examination OF the box from
which the pills were taken, disclosed
the fact that he had eaten about
20 or Is pills, which 1t is estimated
contained more than a grain Of strych-
nine. The little adventurer is now
