R. V. Waterman sought an in
terview with the ENTERPRISE last
Friday to protest against the use
of the words, "a drunken row." in
the account of the cutting scrape
which occurred in his saloon last
week. Mr.. W. says the men were
sober. We asked him if he would
say that he did not sell intoxcicat-
ing drinks. He declined to say so.
We told him that his business pro-
noted just such scrapes as this.
He acknowledged that the men had
one drink in his place. With a
practical confession that he is SELL
ing liquors, and the square admis-
sion that the men had one drink
in his place, we see no good reason
to amend our allegation that the
cutting was the result of drunken
row. All citizens who think to the
contrary will please stand up and
be counted. We suspect that Mr..
Waterman's business will con-
tinue to be outlawed in Rocky
Ford, and he will best serve his
own interests by adjusting himself
to the new and better order of
things.

why People Pass Empty Car Seats and
Crowd Those Partially Occupied.
There Is one thing that has al
ways been more or less of mystery
10 me-" said a traveller to a writer
;or the New York sun. land that is
the motive that prompts some pas
scngers In a car in which there are
entirely vacant seats to take a seat
with somebody. In some cases the
reason for this is simple enough; II
may be that the person takes the
first seat he comes to and is salts
fed; 1t may be that the vacant entire
seats are at the other end of the car
and not seen at casual glance;
sometimes a person unaccustomed to
travel rather timidly takes the first
seat at hand; but the person that
have in mind is the one who either
deliberately. or with what one might
cali deliberate thoughtlessness, takes
seat with somebody when there
are vacant entire seats in plain
sight | have seen. for instance, II
man sitting by q window. alone in

plenty OF room. reading. knowing
that there was plenty OF room he
had perhaps sort OF pre- emptcd that
seat. and was making himself com
Portable in il and was thinking of
nothing but his reading. Along
comes rather stout lady. who.
though there is more room elsewhere.
for some to me utterly iucomprehen
siblc reason. decides that she wants
TO sit in that particular seat She
moves silently. She halts in the
aisle at tho end OF the scat, and
slowly moves in so that she can sit
down. She says nothing to tho man
She does not even look at him; she
has not looked at him since the mo-
meut tina, she decided to take that
seat. and he Is as yet unconscious of
her presence Looking straight
ahead with great calmness she sits
down deliberately. Then the man
looks around with panied sort of
look. Ho moves CLOSER to the win
dow and goes on reading. but he
won't regain his inward composure
for an hour Now why the lady
should have taken that particular
seat Is one OF the things that don't
