the other defendant, F. W. Abbott, b..
is discharged. Mr.. Gray, Mr.. Yore and
Mr. Grieve are remanded to the dis.
.rict court in the sum of $3.50 each.
The above was the decision of Justice
White, on Tuesday morning of this
week after hearing the evidence and
arguments by attorneys in the case of
the People VS.. A. w. Gray, superintend.
ent of construction for the Central Col.
orado Power company, at Shoshone; A.
L. Grieve, Jack Yore, watchman at
the camp and F. w. Abbott, an office
amploye of tho company.
According to the evidence of both
defense and state, Price Hopkins was,
on January II of this year, employed
by Hawley & Howley as teamster On
that day he was taking a barrel of
glngerale and keg of whiskey to
Dead Horse gulch for HeberGng
Staley, who had announced their inten.
tention of opening soft drink and
card parlor. Hopkins was forced by
other teams being in the road, to stop
/ ut camp 9, but he later proceeded on
| his journey. While at camp 8, Superin
| tendcnt Gray approached his spring
| wagon and looked at the contents.
Gray left the place and the next Hop
l1ins saw of him was when nearing
amp >. Gray was coming down the
hill, and he was followed by two other
men. The three of them came up and
Gray said to Hopkins, "Wc are going
to relieve you of your liquor" An
other man, later found to be Jack Yore,
| came up ut the rear. Gray and Grieve
| stopped at the side of the wagon and
| the fourth man, believed to be Abbott,
got in front of the horses. Hopkins
said on the stand that he was afraid
Of the four men and made no great re-
sistance, and that the barrel and keg
we're removed and he allowed to pro
reed with the other stuff.
Heberling was placed on the stand
and told the court it was not his inten-
aion to run a saloon as he had with
drawn his application for license when
he learned that the comapny did not
want saloon in the camp. He said
! he expected to sell soft drinks and al
| low the men to play cards for the
treats. He claimed the whiskey WAS
being taken there for the use of him
self and partner. He said he had no in,
tention of running a disorderly house.
Defendants Gray and Grieve, and wit
nesses Calvin and Allan were placed
on the stand for the defense and the
last named proved to be quito large
sized lemon for the defense. He was
expected to tell of conversations had
with the complaining witnesses in
which they told him their intentions
of selling soft drinks and giving away
whiskey and that gambling was to be
indulgcd in, but he failed to tell this
side of the affair, but bore out the
statements made by Heberling. MIR.
Gray announced that he took the stuff
and that he thought he was a deputy
sheriff, but learned later that he was
not. The defence admitted themselves
in the wrong, but thought the crime
was not sufficient for the court to no
tice. Attorney Moore of Denver rep
resented the defense and at the close
of his argument announced the wiki
ingness of the Central Colorado Power
company to pay for the liquors.
1t seemed to be the intention of the
def fence to show that the bringing of
whiskey into Shoshone was q detriment
and that the Central Colorado Power
company was going to keep it out of
the camp if possible. 1t was for this
reason that the stuff was taken by the
defendants. When the stuff was re-
moved from the wagon, it was placed
in the company Jail and left there un-

Mr.. Gray announced that the men
would give them 4 great deal of trou-
BILE when drinking and that good work
could not be secured from them when
intoxicated. He said they had had
saloon there for n long time, but that
it was ousted ard that no moro would
be allowed.
Tho saloon which run for several
months at Ssoshone was the property
of O,Neil & Richardson of this city
