There's no sense in mixing a mess of
mustard, flour and water when you can
easily relieve pain, soreness or stiffness
with little clean, white Musterole.
Musterole is made of pure oil of
mustard and other helpful ingredients,
combined in the form of the present
white ointment. 1t takes the place Of
mustard plasters, and will not blister.
Musterole usually gives prompt relief
from sore throat, bronchitis, tonsillitis,
Group, stiff neck, asthma, neuralgia,
headache, congestion, pleurisy, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, pains and aches of the
back or joints, sprains, sore muscles,
bruises, chilblains, frosted feet, colds OF

DETAILS RECEIVED ON
EDGAR GALE SHOOTING

In response to a telegram sent by
this office to II. H. Wolbert at De.
troit, Michigan, message was receiv.
ed Friday which conveyed the infor'
nation that Edgar Gale and L. D.
Dowdy. another employee. were shot
"Wednesday afternoon, in the office OF
the Blair Construction company by a
crazed negro.
A letter was received the first OF
the week by j. c. Gale, father of Ed
gar, explaining about the affair.
From the letter it seems that Mr.
Dowdy was having trouble with the
negro over his working hours and
had borrowed Edgar's gun as he had
left his at home. Both Edgar and
Dowdy had permission to carry guns
for the protection of their payroll
and to keep down riots. Dowdy laid
the gun on the table and while he
was taking off his overcoat the negro
grabbed the gun and the shooting be.
gan. In the scuffle which ensued the
negro discharged the gun but the shot
went wild. There were about a half
dozen others in the room and Edgar
was standing at the desk paying off
some men. All of the men in the
room, except Edgar, rushed for the
door after the first shot, and he
came TO Dowdy's rescue with a pick
handle after a shot had struck the
floor near him and another had
pierced his wrist before he got action
on the negro with the pick handle.
Four or five of the shots took effect,
two striking Edgar. one in the chest
and one through the wrist.
Mr.. Clark says that neither injury
is serious, although the top of one
lung was slightly pierced, but unless
complications set in no serious re.
suits are expected.
The negro was later apprehended
and was in a hospital suffering from
a fractured skull presumably inflicted
by EdEar's pick handle. Mr. Clark
says that Edgar is having the best Of
care in every way.

YOUNG NIGHT HAWKS
ESCAPE PAYING FINES

To be summoned hastily out of bed
at midnight and find party of joy
makers, accompanied by officers,
waiting for him was the experience of
w. G. Hines, Justice of the Peace,
Sunday night.
Having received a tip that poker
party was in progress in North Delta,
Sheriff C. E. Vanaken and Deputy
Robert Sanders went to the scene
and took in crowd of four young
men and three young women.
1t seems that they were playing
strip poker" and the ante was
the wearing apparel of the par.
ticipants. When arrested it appeared
that the young sports were just in
the process of paying their debts but
owing to the chilly state of the at.
mosphere they were permitted to don
some more clothing before being
brought before his majesty.
Justice Hines took the names OF
the parties and requested them to ap.
pear Monday morning, which they
did. Finding District Court was in
session he released them temporarily
and asked them to appear on Tues
day evening at 4:3O, but at that time
only one returned the others had
left for parts unknown.
Some of these were juveniles, a
number OF the party had been up be-
fore in connection with another es-
capade. This was one of the reasons
why Mr.. Hines released them temper.
arily in order to determine which
were up for the second offense of
disturbing the peace.
The officers have orders to be on
the lookout and when any of the party
returns he win have to pay the pen
atty.

SUGAR FACTORY WILL
RUN THIS YEAR

During the past few weeks a mum.
Der Of rumors have been afloat that
the Delta Sugar Factory would not
operate this season.
These reports are absolutely with.
ont foundation" says n. W Draper,
manager of the Holly Sugar Corpor-
alton, who was recently interviewed
by officers from the Chamber Of Com
merce. Already seven thousand acres
of beets have been contracted for and
more will be signed up right along.
II is very likely that the rumors
have grown out Of the partially au-
rhentic reports concerning the oper-
arion of the packing plant OF the
colorado Packing Company
More than 1000 acres have been

Boys Make Good Showing

The Junior high school bsys' bas-

work this year and are getting in
good shape to make good high school
players a little later on. At Paonia a
short time ago they defeated the
Paonia team 2 to O.
A week later they defeated the
same team on the Delta floor. IL to 6.
Tuesday night at Montrose they
played the Sophomore team of the
Montrose county high school. and
while they lost by points, the
score being : to 9, it is remarkable
that the boys made such a fine show
ing since they are very small boys
and some OF the members of the team
whom they played against were as
large as our first team high school

gNTROSE "SPORT"7
WRITER PROVED TO BE
MIGHTY POOR LOSER

The pinhead reporter who furnish
ed the dope" for the Montrose
"Blatter" regarding the basketball
game between Cedaredge and Delta
Tuesday night, showed a mighty low
degree of sportsmanship. Some of the
remarks sound like the rawlings of a
man in a delerium. Listen to this:
"Cedaredge seemed to have the bet
ter team. but for some reason they
We're unable to win"
We don't know how he figures this
seem" business. The Delta girls de-
feated Cedaredge, once by 3 points,
and once by 8, while Cedaredge de
feated Delta by points.
The Delta team and fans put up
with a brand OF refereeing so rotten
that. in comparison, a skunk would
be sweet perfume; he was plainly
prejudiced in favor OF the Delta girls
opponents, but they won despite his
perfidy.
The disgruntled writer" then ex-
plains that the CedaredEe team was
crippled because her star guard was
in the hospital. but loses sight Of the
fact that our star guard was fouled
out at the beginning Of the second
quarter
The closing remark OF this hem
orrhaFe OF words are: THE Delta
girls played rough game" They did,
God bless EN-. They had their choice
between going in for blood or being
crucuified. They chose the former.
And then, there was the spirit OF 200
fans behind them. so they had to
win-such a spirit as has never yet
been shown by the Montrose fans as
a unit
We have no quarrel with Cedaredge.
Their boys proved themselves the
best in the district, and to them we
have yielded up our sword with con-
trite hearts. We are going to support
the CedaredEe boys through the
tournament, and this article is not in
any sense directed against any OF the
Cedaredge players or their loyal sup
porters. But such a showing OF poor
sportsmanship as is shown in the
article referred to "a the Press would
turn the stomach OF, buzzard.
