Bootlegging Must Stop

The newly installed town authOri.
ties have announced In no uncertain
manner that they are going to do all
In their power to put a stop to the
bootlegging that has been so pre-
valent in Ordway. They say that one
arrest will not ''close the incident"
20 far as the guilty parties are con-
cerned. but that IL, after they are
once arrested and fined, they do not
discontinue their practices repeated
arrests and fines will follow until the
offenders are driven out OF the busi-
ness. There ia a state law which
makes it an offense to sell intoxicat-
Ing liquors In anti-saloon territory,
and as 10 the past the local ordinances
have been unable to stop the selling
Of such liquors 1t is probable that
future actions will be proceeded with
under the state law. The adminis-
tration is determined to enforce the
law as placed on the books by the
people through action at the polls
and we believe that all good citizens
will stand back OF them In their
efforts to do their sworn duty.
The first case arising under the new
town government was the arrest Of A.
Hazen on charge Of selling liquors
within the corporate limits. The
warrant was sworn to by J. P. Bouldin
and Mayor A. M. Ward. the former
charging that HaZen had sold liquor
to his son, a minor. The arrest oc.
CURED last Saturday and the de.
fendant gave bond for appearance
before the county court next Monday.
Later he entered a plea Of guilty and
the case will probably be closed up in
the county court today or tomorrow
by the assessment OF fine, the mini
mum amount being 800 and costs.

Truthful Tales and
Stories Of Cyclones
TheVeracious T Tribune and New
Era Scribes Relate Wierd
Yarns of Wind Storms

The recent cyclones In the east
have revived interest In the wicrd
tales that always follow in the wake
Of these disasters and the New Era
has run across couple OF items In It's
exchange that will doubtless be OF
interest TO its readers. While the
writer was in Iowa he was tangled up
in three large cyclones, or tornadoes,
as the weather sharps insist on calling
them, and remembers a number Of
wierd sights that met people after
the storms had passed. AT Grinnell
Iowa, 10 1883, after the storm there
that killed a number OF people and
wrecked large portion OF the town,
he saw monster freight locomotive
that had been lifted from the track
and rolled up a ten foot embank-
ment and deposited neatly on top
Boards were driven into tree trunks
likewise common wheat straYs. The
front half OF house was torn away
carried block, then hurled back
into its original position. At Mason
City, Iowa, In 1885, he saw chickens
running around stripped Of their
feathers, and an infant was carried
half mile and deposited unbarmed
In a tree top. A few miles south OF
that town the twister dipped into
deep well and scooped out every drop
OF water and scattered 1t over the
surrounding landscape, These things
sound incredible. but they were at
tested by afildavits at the time. Here
are few OF more recent date:
III. W. Potter OF La Junta witnessed
some OF the wreck and ruin caused
by the Easter Sunday cyclone In
Nebraska. At Sterling, Neb., he saw
wheat straws that had been blown
into the side walls OF church, and
in plowed Geld found a paow, the
steel beam OF which had been blown
backward and wrapped around the
pillow handles. He also claims that
he heard Of jug into which a live
rooster had been blown, without
breaking the Jug or iDjuring the
rooster"
The foregoing, being from the La
Junta Tribune, is probably an exag-
geration, to say the least. The
"Truthful Tribune" further deposes
concerning the Terre Haute, Ind,
cyclone:
| mot a single trace can be found
OF one house except a board to which
mail box was attached with their
name on it. In one house a picture
was blown out OF frame aud another
blown in its place. One house was
blown completely off its foundation,
killing five people and leaving a hen
setting on her nest unharmed and
probably unaware of the awful catas-
trOphe. About thirty five people in
| all were killed"

A Few Short Ones

In the county court last Friday
Katig Giles was granted q divorce
f.om Christian Gies ON the grounds OF
desertton. Mr. Giles evidently did
not live up to his front name.
Las Animas having gone wet at the
recent city election will have four
count 'em. four-thirst emporiums on
and after May !. after an arid stretch
of four-count 'em, four-years.
In the town trustee contest the
court will take testimony next Tues
day and determine whether the
ballot box used at the recent town
election shall be reopened and the
votes recnunted.
1t was hoped that the electric light
company would be able to have the
day current into Ordway by May 10,
but owing to bad weather and other
causes it is probable that it will be
nearer the first OF June before we will
have that luxury.
Mrs. Mary G. G. Bradford. state su-
perinte ndent Of public instruction,
will address a meeting OF the teachers
Of Crowley county at Sugar City May
10, according to announcement made
by Supt. Freeman who desires to have
her visit all the schools OF the county
while here. This is the first time a
state superintendent has visited this
district and we are very fortunate to
be so honored.
