Juvenile deviltry is one of the chiei
topics OF conversation In Durango, moi
in one quarter of the city, but all
over. Many of the complainants dc
not desire to give their names and al.
most as many decline to bear witness
which probably accounts in a large
measure for lack of restraint. The of.
ficers naturally expect to be empower
ed with warrants for arrests In mat
ters OF this nature, and II will be up
to those who are offended to endeavor
to provide means of arrest at least,
If complaints are to be believed gen.
orally, juvenile theft is common
throughout the city. Tools and imple-
ments and all sorts OF things. II left
in reach. and not too heavy. are car
ried away, and the increase of theft
does not appear to be induced by
hard times or necessity, as times are
good. there being plenty of work and
almost everybody at work.
One of the worst forms of Juvenile
offense complained Of is that which
destroys discipline at the schools and
attacks the peace of homes. Boys of
all ages, from tots to almost maturity,
single and in punches, do as they
please and find little If any restraint
in Safeguarding almost everybody.
generally finding opportunity where
there is least resistance.
An old time officer said yesterday
evening that it would be well to begin
by giving the schools wider degree
of preserving discipline; allowing
the teachers without interference, to
enforce a better standing of conduct
in the school and about the school
ground; to prohibit demoralizing prac-
tees by either boys or girls about
the schools; he thought that would
help; ne suggests that II the machin-
cry of the law is not adequate the
city council might be induced to meet
the emergency by the appointment of
reliable persons, without pay, to work
in the several districts of the city in
an effort to minimize juvenile theft
and depreciation.
This appears to be subject of vast
interest to the people all over the
city and those whose business 1t is
to look after such affairs, may take
1t up at their pleasure.
1t is suggested that truant officer
for the schools, for which there ap-
pears to have been no appropriation
or provision, could do some good, II
one can be provided through some
means and this might give the
schools little more trouble.

BROTHERHOOD OF LIGHT
EPISODE is CLOSED

From the Pagosa Times-Observer
In the case of the people VS.. Mrs.
Winnie Wheeler and G. C. Rose, of
the Brotherhood of Light Colony at
Arboles. charged with manslaughter
on account of the death of several
children at the colony, District At
torney Pulliam stated that he had
carefully investigated the matter and
found that the charge made by the
state humane agent that the defend
ants had not taken proper care OF
the children intrusted to them by not
feeding them milk and otherwise neg
lecting them, could not be substan-
tiated. There was no evidence upon
which the defendants could be con-
victed either of murder, voluntary or
involuntary manslaughter, criminal
negligence of misdemeanor. He there
fore asked the court to dismiss the
defendants and release their bonds
men from further liability. Mr.. Pull
liam also remarked: Il find upon
careful investigation that they take
castaway infants whom no one else
wants and they strive by every means
in their power to save them and give
them excellent care. The infants that
died were very weak and sickly when
they were brought to the colony. The
ratio of deaths everywhere in this
class of unfortunate is over 10 per
cent, SO their losing the children was
not SO alarming as II seemed at first.
These people receive no pay for their
work of rescuing castaways and never
solicit funds or support from the pub
lie. The work is supported by what
they raise on the farm and by vol
untary contributions from interested
friends"
Judge Pike thereupon order the
suits dismissed, saying: THE court
accepts the district attorneys sugges-
ton of mol pros in these cases and
from information that has come TO the
court, luluh IL 10 IL "iSS hho'c "iH ~
Is so ordered"
This was the case made famous
throughout Colorado and even outside
OF the state just previous To the late
election and it seemed to be the gen
eral opinion at the time, at least with
those who were conversant with the
facts, that 1t was an attempt OF Ger
tain yellow journals" in Denver tc
make a political capital against Judge
Lindsey, who is interested in Juvenile
charitable work and who was last fal
candidate for governor on an inde
pendent ticket. How true this ma!
be of course Is hard to say, but th'
way the case ended when 1t came vi
for trial cannot help but strengthen
those suspicious.
