RoLEl CASE DISMISSED.
What Promised to Be Sensational
Hearing Will Not Como UP.

WIN wv SSuio ~ ~
The criminal case of malicious
threats to extort money, which was
brought by the grand jury last win
term an Indictment it returned against
Jacob Bolei, of Rhodes, was dismissed
by County Attorney j. II. Egermayer
late Saturday afternoon. The reason
given for the dismissal was the lack of
sufficient evidence.
From the evidence brought to the
grand jury. which indicted Bolei, it
was expected that the testimony, which
would be given in this case when 1t
came to hearing, would be very SEN
sational.
Bolei was charged with attempting
to extort money from III. II. Stouffer
cashier Of the Rhodes Savings bank,
on alleged threats that unless Stouffer
paid him sum of money he would
make public certain information, he
claimed to have in his possession, re-
garaing the relations between Stouffer
and a well-known young woman OF
Rhodes.
Stouffer. according to the grand jury
evidence, trapped Bolei into making the
threat within the hearing of witnesses
who were in the vault of the Rhodes
bank.

son was put in left tackle. The visitors
played much better game during the
second half Noticeable In their line
up was jackson, the sturdy little quar-

Aside from Kirk, Johnson and Lee Fet-
tiers were the greatest ground gamers
for the home team.
While the members Of the home

Railroad For Montezuma,

While several railroads are pro-
jected into the Montezuma district,
there is possibility that the line to
traverse the Wider tunnel will be the
first to reach it, says the correspond
ent Of the Daily Mining Record.
The Wider tunnel, it may be ex-
planned, lacks but 5000 feet of COM
pletion and with machine drills eating
their way through from two sides of
the continental divide, the period of
connection should not be remote.
1t is probable that the tunnel and
the rest of the distance between
Georgetown and Montezuma will be
trayersed by the Argentine Central
road. otherwise the Gray's Peak route.
owned by E. J. Wilcox and others. 1t
is possible that the Wider tunnel peo-
pie will build the railroad they have
projected. The Wilcox railroad, in
connection with the Colorado & South
ern. is designed to cut the distance
to Denver in half making it some
thing like sixty miles. After leaving
the Wider tunnel at the west portal
the Wilcox road would cross the Ruby
Mountain property on it's way into
Montezuma from where branches
would prot ably reach out to many sec
q hand.
A competitor for the honor and
profit Of reaching camp first is vested
in another interest who would build
from Keystone. This competitor en-
joys some advantage in having two
thirds OF the grade completed. The
builder to reach camp first is promised
large revenue from the movement of
machinery and supplies in and from
the outward movement of ore, of which
vast quantities is blocked out and
ready. That the road that reaches
camp first fares handsomely has been
evidenced in many fields, notably in

the leading members of the Confeder'

rhGLocAI OPTION LAW.
Governor euchtei Explains Its Pro
visions to Denver Voters.

Denver-Five congregations OF
churches in the Twelfth ward were
represented Sunday night in the South
Broadway Christian church TO hear
Gov. H. A Buchtel explain the working
Of the local option law. The largest
audience that South Broadway church
has held for some time was present,
every available inch Of space being oc-
cupied.
AS Governor Buchtel said. the law is
. splendid one, but not selfoperative.
The people must put il into effect be-
fore the oficers OF the law can en-
force it. For this reason the governor
himself undertook TO explain it,
A great many inquiries had been re-
ceived, he said, from around the state
asking II one county could vote itself
dry. This could not be done. he said.
for the reason that the individuals OF
q community have the right to regu-
late their own affairs to a certain ex-
tent. He has submitted all questions
TO the attorney general and this opin-
ion was returned to him.
For that reason a town-may elect
TO stay wet II it SO desires. although
the rest of the county is dry. The vot-
ers OF the Twelfth ward. he said.
would have to decide for themselves
whether or not they wish to vote the
whole ward dry and have the pre-
cincts that wish to remain wet stay so.
II they can show that majority of
the taxpayers Of that precinct wish TO
remain wet, or whether they will elm
mate these precincts before election
and not vote upon them at all.
The local option bill has ward sub
division vote and this is one OF the re-
suits. However, to prove that ward
subdivision is regarded as the best
method OF voting upon the antisaloon
proposition he told of Governor Folks
effort to secure it in Missouri. After
an anti-saloon bill had been passed
there, Governor Folk called q special
session Of the Missouri legislature 10
secure ward sub division but was un-
successful.
On the drug store question he de-
clared Colorado had law which can
not be bettered. The provision of the
Kelly bill. brought before the legisla-
turs. was Incorporated in the Drake
bill on this phase of the subject. II

upon the order OF licensed practicing
physician, and that the prescription be
used only once Both these persons
are licensed by the state and hence

their licenses may be revoked if they
attempt to evade the law. Also fine
of from Il 90 rp 1900 or imDri isonmen 1t
for thirty days may be imposed for
violations OF the law. A second offense
provides for a fine of from 5000 TO $500
and imprisonment
In order to vote a precinct wet after
1t has been voted dry those favoring
a wet precinct must go through the
same formula prescribed for making ii
dry, SO that once dry 1t will always be
| dry in Governor Buchtel's opinion.
Forty per cent of the voters. he de
clared, would never dare to put their
names to a petition asking that the
vote be revoked.

Cripple Creek February Output.

The output OF the Cripple Creek gold
mining district for February amounted
to 5S,222 tons Of gross bullion value
OF $1,242,3l3. AS compared with the
figures of the corresponding month of
1907 gain in tonnage is recorded of
1912 tons, with an increase in yalu<
of $107,23S.
The month was fortunate one for
lessees and a number of strikes were
recorded on Bull, Gold, Raven, Beacon
and Tenderfoot hills and Battle and
Squaw mountains.
The number Of miners at work is
greater than at any time since the
labor trouble, and at a conservative
estimate 3,4O0 miners are employed.
The figures as obtained from the
