The second proposition submitted to
the voters on the election ballot is
"1he Search and Seizure" law as pro-
posed by the Anti-Saloon league of

stored, or are stored in any place they
have the right to secure an order
from any district or county Judge, or
justice of the peace to search for and,
if found, seize the intoxicating liquors.
The fact that they are found is prima
facie evidence of the guilt of the per-
son on whose ground it is found.
The title of the law is as follows:
AN act to provide for the enforce
ment, by means of search and seizure
of local option laws and Of any other
laws or municipal ordinances prohibit

warrants for the search and seizure
Of liquors and appliances used in con-
nection herewith; to provide penalties
for the violation of the provisions of
this act and all law referred to and
to repeal all acts or parts Of acts in
conflict herewith.
If any person make a sworn COM
plant or affidevit before any district

county judge or before any county
judge or before any justice Of the
peace, within his county, that he has
reason to believe and does believe that
intoxicating liquors are being sold

WASH PATRICK BAGS
IMMENSE BLACK BEAR

Now comes Wash Patrick, state su
perintendent of fish hatcheries, to
claim the latest big game honors
among the local Nimrods.
Mr.. Patrick went out to the Pine
river section few days ago loaded
for bear. He seems to have been
in league with the goddess Of the
hunt, as he had not travelled far over
the hill between Pine river and the
Vallecito when 10, he found Bruin
ready to battle for life. A fine speci-
men it was, too, cross between a
silver tip and black bear which
would easily tip the scale at five hun
dred pounds.
1t would have taken an unusual sup
ply of courage to convince. an anna
teur that lone man with only one
gun was a match for bear of such
huge proportions, but Mr.. Patrick was
not new at the game and by careful
management he bagged the immense
animal.
Mr.. Patrick returned to the city
last night with the trophy of his hunt
and today his friends are dining on
bear meat. This morning he shipped
the skin to Denver to a taxerdermist
and as soon as it is treated it will
grace the Patrick home along with
many other eloquent evidences of the
skill Of craftsmanship of the head oi
the house.

cessor of Melba. OF her the M. A. p.
Of London says:
"A young lady of twenty summers,
not particularly pretty, short of stat
ure and finely formed She sang, she
conquered, and from the first clear
crystalline note held the audience in
her spell. This was no little appren-
tice to the lyric art. The pure bell
like timbre, the light warbling, the
silent swerve and stress of the deeper
notes, the volume of silvery sounds
that flooded the air, diminishing again
and spraying out in pearly cadence
all this left one mute in astonishment
as the little American from Kansas
City finished her song and bowed to
the deafening plaudits Of the audience
where she was later greeted as mex
to Patti"
The cream Of local talent will alsS
have part in the entertainment
Prof. Bortz, Mrs. Tyler, Mrs. McDev
lit and Miss SENEGAL will render solos

ist, will give couple of selections

pressed their intentions of attendin,
