ON MEXICAN BooTLEGGERS

Sheriff Blanchard and his forces are
determined to rid the city of its boot
leggers if possible and are keeping up
a constant search of suspected dis
tricts with the hope of getting hold OF
enough evidence to place a number Of
these lawbreakers where they cannot
operate or at least get rid of them.
For several weeks past they have
been on the trail of two Mexicans
named Lucindas and Antonio but were
unable to capture the duo until Wed
nesday night at about o'clock when
they we're located in the little frame
cabin just west of Leung Chung's
store at the foot of Eaton avenue.
The palce was thoroughly searched by
the officers before taking their pris-

was taken twenty-five pint bottles of

POLITICAL POINTERS

of the Democratic party in Colorado
but some very prominent leaders in
that party, are coming out openly with
the. statement that they cannot stand
the Patterson-Brake-Pie ring, and
that they viii as a duty to themselves
and their state, vote with the Republi-
cans this fall to help redeem it.
1t seems next to impossible for a
Democratic administration to be any
thing but a failure. In this country it
has proven the "hoodoo" party, and its
administrations have been marked by
distrust. business stagnation and fl
nancial depression or widespread pan
ics- Part of this may be and doubtless
is accidental, but the mass of voters
would rather be with the lucky party
than with the unlucky one, when it
comes down to brass tacks.

Fred Simonds. a former resident of

interests, departed for the east We'd

During the gentleman's stay in this
city he became engaged in conversa-

times with fruit growers as to crops
and present market conditions and in
these conversations 1t was learned
that In his state there were endless
quantities OF peaches from Michigan
and other nearby fruit growing states
which would naturally have the effect

Simonds stated that he had bought
from the local dealers in Joliet on sew
eral occasions and the prices quoted
was Linety cents per basket Of a
bushel each.
Shipping peaches in this manner. he
thought, would eventually become the
popular system for Western Slope
growers and this would greatly de-
crease expenses Of the grower in har-
vesting and getting his crop ready for
market.
There are many apples in the Hin
