lid was applied In Albuquerque yes
terday, the fittings We're carefully ad-
justed and the job was completed in
a good and workmanlike manner with
a dose Of official sealing wax that
that seems to have been entirely eff
~fective. Up to last night not a single
report had been made 20 the sheriffs
office of any ~infractions Of the law,
and the man who got a drink across a
bar during the day was very quiet
about IL. Several of the saloons in
the business district opened their
front doors, pushed back the screens
and left the deserted and mosquito
netted bar exposed to the gaze Of a
mildly interested public.
Sho shining stands and tamale
wagons, cigar stores n stationery
and news stores, everything in the
form of a store, was closed, locked
and the keys thrown away. save for
the drug stores in which one lonesome
attendant spent part of the day for the
purpose of serving potions to persons
who might be overcome by the droutha
Bottled goods were active to strong

Harvey Museum Closes.
Sheriff Armiio believes i'm enforcing
the law all the way around, and If n
cigar shop has to close, he is of the
opinion that all must.
The law is there said the sheriff
yesterday, and we can't get away
from it. But since 1t is there we are
going to treat everybody alike"
And so 1t happened that the young
woman h presides over the cigar
stand at Fred Harvey's lunch counter,
