Another Liquor Raid.

Last Saturday afternoon a search
and seizure warrant was issued by
Justice Stamper on complaint Of
Mrs. Roberts and given TO Marshal
Smith who had been appointed
special officer for the occasion and
directed the same against John Doe
for the premises on the north side
occupied by W. Curtis. The same
was served and one 5-gallon key
full, three 5-gallon kegs and jugs
empty and about 2 gallons in bot
ties full, were secured. The same
was taken in possession by the
officer and returned into court
The next evening another warrant
similar to the above was directed
against the depot and three gallons
more were secured. 1t also Ian
cuisines in the same pcrilous posi-
ton as the other. The cases will

The Salt Nell.

Considerable interest has always
been taken in the Salt Well, located
about ~ miles south of Meade, by
the people of the county and strang-
ers who visit our city. Different
ideas prevail S to the depth of the
well. also as to its origin. We pub
lish below few extracts from the
Pearlette Call, a paper published in
Meade county about the time the
we'll was discovered, which was on
the 26th of March, 1879. 1t will be
noticed the exact date of its caving
in is not known, but was between
the grid and 10th of March, 1879.
The reader will also observe that
the depth at that time was from 80
to 7s feet. It has been filling up
until at presentit is only about S
feet deep on the average. The
probabilities are that in few years
the well will be no more, as there is
no inlet or outlet. Prof. Johnson,
of the U. S. Geological Department,
pronounced it sink hole which had
penetrated bed of salt, and filled
up with water, probably from the
sheet water.

FROM TIE "CALL" OF MAY Is, 1870
Considerable excitement has been
created in this section of late over
the discovery ola salt well, about
IL. miles southwest of Pearlette.
Since the grid of March piece of
ground some IT'S feet in diameter
has sunk, and the hole is now filed
with salt water to point IA feet
below the surface. Sounding have
shown the water to be from 80 to IS
feet in depth. On the grid of March
wagon passed over the spot where
the we'll now is, and the ground,
which is high, was then hard and
fiji I'm. The track made by the wagon
at that time is plainly visible on
each side of the well. On the Goth
of March it was found in its present
shape. The water is very salt-in
fact a gallon of it boiled down pro-
duced two quarts of salt.

FROM THE "CALL" OF JUNE *, 1870
Prof. Nudge, the State Geologist,
has examined the salt well, of which
we recently made mention, and has
tested the quality and strength of
the braine. He pronounces it almost
free from all impurities, and finds
that 43 gallons of the native braine
will produce one bushel of pure salt.
Salt being worth about $500 per
Dbl. in Dodge City, a fortune is GER
tainly awaiting the man who has the
nerve to go into the manufacture of
that article in Meade county.
FROM THE "cALl7 OF july l. 1879,
The salt we'll continues TO attract
a large number of visitors, all of
whom pronounce 1t one Of natures
