II many more prisoners hard OF
hearing are brought before Judge Mar
tin Ryan in the police court, it is
more than likely that he will ask the
council for a megaphone. During the
past two days the judge has been
forced to scream at the top Of his voice
to make men at the bar understand
that they were charged with drunken
ness. When Auditor Morgan heard
the court speaking in the high key this
morning the former stated that he
would be pleased to file requisition
for megaphone.

leading into the corridor was opened
to bring out a drunk, a stencil issued
forth, sufficiently strong to put an or

PIONEER DROWNED
IN DOLORES RIVER
Isnecial to The sentinel. ]

Rico. Colo, June 29.-Squads of
men are busy dynamiting the West
Dolores river in the hope that they
will recover the body of Joseph
Koenig. a pioneer of this county, who
disappeared several days ago. Last
Monday Koenig left his ranch in
West Dolores to go to Dunton for
supplies. He promised to return not
later than o'clock that evening.
When he failed to appear his sons
Frank and John becoming worried,
started to search for their father The
road which must be travelled through
that section crosses the West Do
lores river twice, and at this time of
year the stream is bank full and run
ming swiftly. They feared he had
been swept to death in the waters of
the stream.
The boys were unsuccessful in
their search and the next morning
neighbors aided them in an attempt
to locate the missing man. A care
full search revealed The fact that
Koenig had taken short trail home
in order to avoid crossing the river.
The trail runs along the edge of a
cliff on the river and from the indi-
cations that were found ii seems that
Koenig's horse became unmanage-
able, reared and in all probability

ranch on Sunday. as detailed by The
Sentinel yesterday. had not been re-
covered.
Again today scores of men are out
along the banks of the Gunnison riv-
er in Delta county searching for the
body.
The untimely and tragic death of
DR.. Fairfield caused a cloud of sorrow
to settle over the entire county of
Delta. a
A new circumstance, indicating
that the physician was seized with
cramps while bathing. came to light
yesterday afternoon. Mrs. Shoemak-

ranch is, just across the river from

This is the first of the bootlegging

That was the case of Lydia Kelly. the
