| The Indian liquor selling problem is
serious at Gallup. Scarcely day passes
when many drunken bucks and squaws
may not be seen going from town in a
condition which reflects the greatest
discredit on the community. 1t has
come to the pass that decent women
are afraid to be alone away from the
main streets of the town, as indecent
proposals are made by whisky filled In
dians. There is much traffic of this ma
ture being done at some of the saloons,
and not little at private houses away
from the saloons. Citizens Of Gallup de-
clare it must be stopped
