er. was not performed until they

ARREST TWO
At FRU|TA
Grand Jury Probe Results in Arrest
of Dick Mccoy for Bootlegging
and Emmett Barton for Al
lowing Boys in Pool Hall.

The first two arrests made by
Sheriff Schrader as a result of the
investigation by the grand jury oc-
Cured late yesterday afternoon.
Dick Mccoy of Fruita was arrested
and charged with bootlegging, and
Emmett Barton, one of the old tim
ers of the lower valley, was charged
with allowing boys to play in his
pool room.

already in the county Jail were re-
ported early in the session of the

there was an ordinance against boys
playing in his poolroom and that
he had always complied with that
ordinance. He did not know, how
ever. that there was state statute
which" he was violating. He i'm
pressed the court, and all who heard
him with his sincerity when he de-
clared that he had been running a
clean, orderly place, and that the
| boy upon whose testimony the charge
was based had often played pool
with his father in the place.
The court assessed him the mini
mum fine of IS and costs.
