Hewett rose up.

DELINQUENT GIRL ARRESTED.

Bertha Harper, the charge Of Cap
tain Davidson, is occupying the in
sane ward in the county jail, The
young lady was assigned the quar-.
ters without application on her part.
On July 8 she was arrested for
juvenile delinquency. Captain David
son was appointed her guardian ad
litum. She was to appear before the
courts on July S. In due time the
date came but not the girl. She
had disappeared and it was later
learned she was camping under the
protecting wing of our neighboring
state, New Mexico. The officers had
deluge of criticism heaped upon
them for allowing the gay young
girl to elude them. They said moth
ing but evidently have not been doz-
ing over their official duties.
Yesterday Deputy Sheriff Couch in
company with friend started for a
two days jaunt. Their inclinations
took them New Mexico-ward. AS is
his custom the deputy had warrants
for the arrest of different individuals
in his pocket, among the number be-
ing one for Bertha Harper.
Just before they reached the state
line they met the girl driving with
two women. The deputy served the
warrant. The girl was determined she
would not return. She raised her
voice in protest, tore out her nair
and generally emphasized her dis
pleasure at the officers act. AS a
last resort she tried reducing him to
submission by the salt water method.
He proved hard-hearted and as a re-
suit she is installed in the insane ward
at the county Jail.
Further developments await the re-
turn of the Judge and district attor-
ney.

FATHER OF SHERIFF AND HIGH
LY RESPECTED PIONEER
DIES IN MEXICO

L. j. McCluer, one of the oldest and
best known residents of southwestern
Colorado, dropped dead in Guymas,
Old Mexico, this morning.
Mr.. McCluer has extensive business
interests down there which has de-
manded his attention for number Of
months. He had just cocmpletsd his
mission of looking after them and was
about to return 10 Durango wnen the
end came wilnout moments waln-
ing.
Telegraph Operator Phillips of Guy
mas wired Mrs. McCluer and the boys
here. AS Sheriff Mcclure, the eldest
son, is out Of the city and out Of the
range Of telephone communications,
definite funeral arrangements have
not been made, but it is the desire
oil his wife that his remains be brought
here for burial.
Mr.. McCluer's history has been in
timately associated with the upbuild-
ing of this section for the past thirty
five years. He most ably represented
La Plata county in the state legis-
lature for several terms. At one time
his name was prominently mentioned
for United States senator.
In the days when the cattle men
were kings of the section, he owned
large herds of stock. For many years
he lived on his valuable farm on the
Florida. 1t was here his family were
born and grew to man and woman
hood. His eldest son, Sheriff McClu-
er, has the distinction Of being the
first white child born in La Plata
county.
Since he retired from active busi-
ness here he has been investing in
Mexico and until the rebels have cre-
ated so much trouble was financially
very successful.
One by one the pioneers, the trail
blazers, are passing over the great di-
vide and with their passing we, who
are enjoying the fruit Of their labors,
realize in part the debt of gratitude
we owe to them.
