SUPREME COURT
ON LOCAL OPTION
"Drys" Win Signal Victory
Liquor Traffic Is Out
Law Business"
SAYS OUR HIGH COURT

What is believed by many to be the
death knell to saloons was sounded on
Tuesday of this week by the Colorado
supreme court. The court rendered a
decision in the case brought before it
to test the local option law that is on
the Colorado books and in its decision
the court hands the saloon and brewery
interests of the state the hardest jolt
they have ever received.
The direct question at issue was:
"If certain wards or precincts of "A
city vote wet, while the city as a whole
votes to oust the saloons, shall the pre-
cinct or ward voting wet be permitted
to have saloonsf'' The court says NO
and says it in language that cannot be
misunderstood by anyone.
In its decision, which was lengthy
and went into details carefully the
court admits that the law is not fair
and that it gives a decided advantage
to the "drys'' but the court holds that
the liquor business has no common law
rights since in the opinion of the court
it is moral injury to society and that
in consequence, under the statutes and
the common law. the only rights it ma
is the right contained in its license TO
do business when it has such a license.
That the law is drastic and burden
come TO the liquor interests and favors
bic to its opponents does not in the
opinion of the court make it unconst'
tutional as class Legislation because the

RIO GRANDE TIED UP

With hail and rain storms along the
line of the Rio Grande through the
Royal Gorge and Arkansas valley sec
tion, and with hundreds of yards of the
track buried beneath great piles of
earth and rock, that road was certainly
up against it the past week. For near
ly sixty hours the fore part of the
week, not a west bound train entered
this city over the Rio Grande. People
who left Denver Monday morning for
Glenwood arrived here Thursday morn
ing. while Others who had left Monday
did not get in until late Thursday
night.
The worst dirt and rock slide ever
experienced by the Rio Grande occurred
Monday night when over six hundred
feet of the track through the Royal
Gorge was buried beneath tons of de
bris. Nearly dozen special trains
were then hurrying from Denver for
the Pacific coast and all expected to
stop for a few hours in this city. But
all were held back and the passengers
were forced to await the clearing of
the track Some of the trains were
taken over the Midland tracks, but all
of those Immediately east of the slide
were held. The Arkansas river also
went on rampage as result of the
heavy rains and hail storms and thus
added to the troubles of the road. On
Wednesday night thirteen passenger
trains passed through this city and
throughout Thursday and Thursday
night they were sent west as rapidly
as they could he handled.
The mail service was something aw,
ful. Mondays mail reached this city
Thursday: Tuesdays Denver papers
arrived Wednesday and some of the
papers are still somewhere between
Glenwood and Denver, but are expected
to arrive most any old time.

With the eyes of the mining world
turned on the New Castle country is
it any wonder that the people of that
little Garfield county city are wearing
the smile that won It come off and are
nudgng their neighbors in the ribs
and announcing that they expect to
move the county seat of this county
from Glenwood within two years.
1t will be remembered that the Post
told the story of the mineral uncover
ed last fall in the east Elk creek coun-
try by few men, who bad the stick
toitivencss that overcomeS all Obstac-
les. 1t was late in the fall when the
report came from the East Elk creek
mine. ore n Saying $50 and $40 per toa
had been uncovered and that prospec'
tors were flocking in by the scores to
take up claims. Samples of the ore
We're brought to this city and old min
crs said they believed New Castle was
on the eve of n mining boom that
would sooner or later rival the great
Cripple Creek camp, which has given
up many millions of the precious vel
low metal.
With the fall of the winter SHOWS,
work was practically abandoned on
East Elk creek, although some few Of
the men continued to delve into the
hills and bring out ore until today seN
cral tons are ready for shipment ami
it is announced that Hugh Miller has
lust been given the contract for haul
ing the ore to the railroad at New
Castle for three dollars per ton.
But this is only the beginning for

CARDIFF GIRL
SHOT IN SHOULDER

While striving to join in the noise
making in celebrating the Fourth of
July, little Madalena Magnan of Car
diff received a serious, but not fatal
wound from bullet fred from n .3S
caliber revolver. The little Magnan
girl and her playmate, Mary Mengot,
were at the former IS home and in somc
way found the revolver under the pill
low of Mr.. Magnan. In handling the
gun, it was discharged and the bullet
entered the left shoulder of the Magnan
girl and came out through the other
side. She was hurried to the Glenwoo1
sanitarium where the wound was dress
ed and where she is still confined, but
the attending physicians announce that
she is getting along nicely and that she

GAVIN OPENS
Big ICE PLANT

Scores of people visited the new ice
plant Just completed by Austin Gavin
and which was open to the public yes
terday and last night that all who wish
ed might see for themselves Just how
water is converted into the frozen pro
duct.
The tanks were filed the frs. time
with city water that thorough test
might be made of the machinery, but
in the future only the purest of dis
titled city water will be used by NJ
Gavin. Among the first cakes to be
pulled was one in which a boquet
of fine red and pink roses had been
frozen. This cake was taken to the
Parkison pharmacy and placed near his
soda fountain and hutdreds of people
stopped to see il. But people should
not Judge by that one cake. 1t was
made of city water at time when
the creeks are high and when the water
pipes are still bothered with small
pieces of wood, thus making air filed
splotches through the ice.
Last night Mr. Gavin held open
house and a number of Glenwood pej-
pie, who had never before visited and
inspected an ice plant, called and were
welcome to go and come as they pleas
ed and see for themselves how ice is
made. The plant was lighted with
electric lights made in the plant and
while many may have suffered to some
extent with the heat few hours be-
fore, there was no complaint from that
score while people were in the ice
room.
Glenwood has long needed such an in
stitution and now that we have one Of
the finest ice plants in the state, we will
not have to worry about nature supply
ing our needs in the future.

FOOLISH wager
ENDS IN DEATH
Men Try to Swim River For
Dollar Bet on the Un-
certainty Of End
MISSOURI MAN SINKS

In case of accident notify W W.
Dougherty of Carthage, Mo-
The above penned on the back
of a room rent receipt signed by G.. NJ.
Daniels of Denver, was the only means
of learning the identity of man
drowned IN Grand river at Shoshone
Tuesday afternoon.
The stranger arrived at the camp IF
the Central Colorado Power company
that morning and gave every evidence
of having been on a Fourth of July
spree. Soon after arriving at the
camp, he began drinking again with the
other men and when well under the in
tluence, they went from the bunk
house to the bank of the stream and
began speakin gof the current, which
at the time, measured seven miles per
hour. w. s. Richards, a shift boss of
! the company, bantered the unknown
to swim race across the river. 1t
was finally agreed that each man would
put up dollar and the one landing
at point on the opposite shore nearest
to straight line from the starting
| point should have the money. Ths
stranger removed all of his clothing
and entered the water. and although
carried several hundred yards down
stream, succeeded in reaching a point
few feet from the shore, when he
threw up his arms and disappeared
from sight.
| The Shoshone officials sent warning
| to this city for men to be on the look
out for the body. but seldom, indeed,
are bodies, drowned in Grand river,
found within several weeks after they
first go under the surface current or
the stream
| In the pockets of the man were found
couple of room rent receipts, on the
back of one of which was penned, "In
case of accident notify w. w. Dough
er.y of Carthage Mo-" Coroner Hop
kins was notified and on Wednesday
morning sent telegram to the above
address with hopes of learning the
identity of the man. VIM. knight,
who is employed by the Glenwood
Lumber company, moved to this city
from Carthage, and knows several
! families of the above name and says
there is W. W. Dougherty, promi-
thenent farmer about nine miles out Of
the city. There were three boys in the
family, but owing to the slight descrip-
tion given, he is unable to tell which
of the boys, if either, the drowned man
| is. All efforts to locate the body have
failed and owing to the rampage on
which Grand river has been for the
past fe wweeks, it is doubtful if the
body is ever recovered.
1t is announced that Richards, the
other party to the wager, was discharg-
| ed by the company.

court holds that the liquor business is
not a legal class, in other words is an
outlaw business. The opinion holds that
no statutes granting the people the
power to control the traffic however
drastic the law may be framed would
be unconstitutional.
In commenting on the decision Sen.
ator DeLong of Grand Junction, who
was in Denver in the state senate when
the local option law was passed two
years ago and again last winter when
he was active in preventing its repeal,
said to the Grand Junction News:
"The court s decision upholding the
constitutionality of the local option
law is exactly what | anticipated. Ii
similar laws are constitutional in other
states they must be constitutional il
Colorado. The dissenting opinion on
the question of the larger or smaller
unit controlling is the only surprise to
me.
1.-The county commissioners have the
power of making a voting precinct any
size they desire providing the said pre-
cinct does not contain to exceed five
hundred votes. And the proper officers
in cities acting under charter have the
had been the opinion of the court it
would have practically annulled the To-
cal option law because in many cities
and in practically every charter city a
voting precinct would have been ere
ated that the saloons could control.
This would mean that even if seventy
five per cent of the voters as Il whole
was opposed to the liquor traffic yet by
manipulation the saloon would be given
a fooshold in spite of the people.
'sIt goes without saying that / am
delighted with the decision upholding
the constitutionality of the law in
which | have taken so much interest
and also upholding the clear language
of the statute which provides that if
the vote of the people is favorable to
the dry side of the question the larger
unit controls but if the larger unit
goes wet and any smaller unit goes dry
then that small unit shall be dry.
"It must be remembered that prior
to the passage of this local option law
the whole state was wet so far as law
was concerned, there being no state
statute against the saloon.
"The local option law was passed for
the express purpose of creating dry ter
ritory and for creating it as rapidly us
possible and in the largest possible ,
areas. Without any vote every subdl-
vision was wet. With vote favorable
to the saloon that district remained
wet but since the law was passed to
create dry territory it was so worde l
/ and intended by the legislature that if
the larger unit went dry it should con
troll but if it went wet and any smaller
unit went dry then that smaller terri
tory should remain dry

ENJOY THE TALLYHo RIDE

Leaving Hotel Colorado at Gals last
Saturday night in the big tallyho and
three carriages. a jolly party of the
employees of the famous hostlery rode
to the Sievers ranch and enjoyed them
selves at dancing until the wee sma
hours of the following morning when
the return trip was made and plunge
in the big pool enjoyed,
The young folks say the roads wer'
never in better shape for an evening
tallyho party and THAI they found the
big Sievers pavilion in fine shape fo'
dancing to music which was furnished
by Charles Shirley, violinist and PICK
Weston, pianist. Refreshments were
served near the midnight hour and the
iolly party started on the return trip
at 3 o'clock Sunday morning, arriving
at the hotel at 5, and after plunge
in the swimming pool, all announced
that they had had thoroughly good
time.
There was but one mishap to mar the
affair. and that was the inability OF
George Damn and P. Esuner to find
the ranch. These young men started
for the ranch at midnight, but, accord
ing to reports, were lost in the sage
brush and had to turn back to Glen
wood.
The following were in the party;

ANTLERS CASE
UP ONCE MORE

'fue mixup which has been under way
directors of the Farmers Irrigation
company and some of the stockholders
of the company and more recently be-
tween the board and its former Sec
retary, w f. Tippett, eliminated in
a suit brought by the board against
Tippett for the possession of the books,
seal. stock certificates and other pro
pertv of the company over which the
board has supervision.
The real break, which has been brew
ing for some time, occurred at an ad-
iourned meeting held at the Colorado
on June IA at which time the board
entered into n contract with the Ant
lers orchard Development company
for the sale of half the stock of the
company under certain specified con-
ditions. The officers of the Farmers
company were ordered by vote OF
the board to execute the contract with
the Development company and this
Tippett refused to do, whereupon the
board called for his resignation from
the office of secretary and upon his
refusal to resign proceeded to remove
him from his office, Tippett himself
voting for his own removal.
The case was heard last Saturday
before Justice White who directed the
Development Co. to give an additional
bond which they readily agreed to do,
Tippett said he considered himself
still the secretary of the company al
though he admitted that he had been
removed by unanimous vote but he
had not recorded in the minutes his
own vote against himself, explaining
that he had intended to ask at the
next meeting that his vote be record
ed against ousting himself. Tip
pett was not present at the
next meeting and the newly elected
secretary, w. S. Park, recorded the
proceedings in a new book and a new
seal was ordered. New stock certlfi'
Gates had in the meantime been print
ed and these were executed and deiv
cred in accordance with the contract
with the Antlers Orchard Development
company. The bylaws of the company
were read to prove that the board had
a right at any time to remove the sec
retary and choose his successor an'
upon such removal he shall deliver al
property of the company in his poss
| ession to his successor.
The ease was not argued last Sat
urday. Mr.. Moore for the board and
J. w. Dollison for Mr.. Tippett agree
ing to submit authorities to Judge
White who has promised decision
today. 1t does not seem that very
much depends on that decision since
the acts which Tippett objected to
have already been consummated and
the property now in Tippett's posses
sion. and to recover which the suit was
brought, is probably of very little value
to Tippetts, the board or anyone else
! Nevertheless, the decision Of judge
White will be given in our nsxt Issue
