It Inspires Strenuous Notions Re-

Roosevelt, April S.-(Special Corre-
 spondence of The Republican, The
 Indians out at the camp east oi town
 seem to be unable to let whiskey alone
 and to refrain from beating up their
 squaws while they are under the in-
 fluenCe of it. The mos, recent case
 to come to light is the one against
 Juan Walter in Judge Evans court,
 charged with being drunk. and beat
 ing his squaw, Chi-Chil.
 On last Thursday night the squaw
 was found on the outskirts of ,own
 lying by the road in a stupefied condi-
 tion. When asked by the officers who
 had nit her, she named Juan Walter.
 and said that he was over at the camp drunk and beating other squaws. Her moaning and crying was so loud that it was feared she was seriously hurt
 and cot was secured and she was
 brought to town and taken to the hos
 pital for treatment. In the meantime.
 the officers started toward the camp.
 and with little difficulty secured Wal ter and brought him bac'- to the jail. where he was locked Gp for the night. Along towari morning the squaw
 had sufficiently recovered from her in
 juries to ge, up and start for home.
 Those who had her in charge were very
 sudden
 improvement in ner condition, but nevertheless she was permitted to go
 on her way. At the trial on the fol- lowing day she failed to appear to make complaint against Walter Ie developed during the course of the proceedings that she was as drunk as Walter, and that all her noise and yell ing was merely put on. Walter was ! fined S10 for his part in the affair. while the case against the squaw was dropped.
 F. E. Bacon, the proprietor of the hot springs, is putting his place in l first-class condition since tne recent flood. The springs are so located that during any very high water of the riv- CT they are apt to be inundated. Dur ing the big floods of last November his place was entirely wrecked by the water and his loss was considerable. but he went to work after they had subsided again and put the place in even better condition than before | During the high water of last month he lost nearly all of his improvements again, but, undaunted. he has gone to work for a third time and his place will be in better condition for his steadily increasing business than ever before in it's history. The place will be first class in every respect and pro- vision will be made so that with its growing popularity all it's patrons can ! be accommodated.
 Judge Evans donned the robes of | Cupid last week and issued to two of Roosevelt's most popular young people a license to be married. Afterward ne accompanied the pair to the home of the bride, Miss Cruz Morano. where he pronounced the wedding ceremony After the wedding the affair was cele- | brated in true Mexican fashion by giv- l ing a dance that lasted until morning The lucky young man was Ben L. Pa bios of this place.
 One Wilson, a barber and former resident of this place. left rather hur- riedly for parts unknown last week, | leaving behind an unpaid laundry bill. | The Chinaman, to whom the bill
 was owed, made strenuous objections 1 to being beat out of it, and forthwith set the officers on the trail of the man.
 Ranger Wayne Davis was detailed on l the case, and in very short time To- Cated the man. He learned that he was a passenger on the Mesa stage,
 and word was telephoned immediately
