BOOTLEG WHISKEY

Judge McElroy's heart failed him
last Saturday when u middle-aged
man from Rock Island, H., was ar
rested and brought up before him
charged with drunkenness.
The man came in from the east
and intended to go to Santa Rosa.
He said he bought some bootleg"
whiskey at Pratt, kans., and it put
him to the bad and when the train
reached Tucumcari he was "all in" !.
crazy from the effects Of the rot
gut which is obtainable in these
prohibition states. He had ten dol
lars in money, but was a Spanish
American war veteran drawing a
pension for being disabled.
II the Judge imposed the usual
fine it would have taken all the
mans money and left him penniless
to bum his way out of town or COM
NIT a crime in order to secure money,
so the judge ordered him locked in
the city Jail until No. l left for
Santa Rosa when a ticket to that
town was purchased out of his
money and 25c for each meal fur
nished him during his stay in town
was also taken out and the balance
of the money returned to the man.
This act shows our city officials are
made out of the right stuff and de-
serve congratulations for the stand
they took.

GET YOUR PATENT

Persons having patents in the U.
S. land office in Tucumcari had bet
ter get them and have same record
ed. The assessor is required to go
to the land Office and copy same.
Taxes must be paid just the same
whether the land is recorded or not
so to avoid danger of losing your
land by having it sold for taxes you
would do the wise thing to get your
patent and have it recorded now.

Opposition OF Operators.

Opposition of Operators.
Again. one coal operator not
friendly to the present administra-
ton. got 10 his private house "a
writer" not a citizen of West vir-
einia, and the two compiled and sent
broadcast over the state as product
of the West Virginia Coal Association
a circular pamphlet criticising and
finding fault with the present admin
istration laws merely as a slap at the
governor.
This pamphlet was fraud and a
deception and misrepresented the
West Virginia Coal Association and
the coal operators. as it purported TO
be product of and sent out by the
association. which l am told was not
only untrue, but that the most promi.
nent and best informed members OF
that association knew nothing of the
pamphlet and disapproved very much
of Its contents and its circulation.
and favored very much the provisions
of the compensation law that this
pamphlet found fault with. Do YOU
want to leave your business and your
interests In the hands of one or two
men who adopt such practices and
deception and hesitate not to mis-
represent you. IL by SO doing they can
accomplish personal ends?

chamber up under a certain b~alloonet, or

ment."
Another American engineer. Wilbur
X. kimball. "A director Of the Aero
nautical Society here. is associated with
Mr. Macmechen in building these de-
stnoyers for England.
Mr. Macmcchsn was asked why he
considered the Yarmouth raid "a mere
practice raid" and why Germany had
not put forth the best she had at that
time.
II went up 10 Great Yarmouth the
next morning he said. Il travelled
over al the ground covered by the raid
~ am convinced that this so-called
raid was Just to gather more data In
preparation for the real raid to come.

dropped with absolute safety from n

were not bigger bombs and the newer
/eppelins used still about $4,000
worth OF property was destroyed"
Several days before the aeroplane raid
by British aviators from England Mr..
Macmechen foretold the raid in a spe,'h
before the Aeronautical Society.
THAT raid awaited nothing" he said
yesterday. The damage didn't amount
TO much. That was Just "A bravado re-
ply ON the part of the British fying
corps. II is also interesting that the
bombs the British aviators are using
are tho product OF an American in
Veutor.'

British aviators. Mr.. Macmechen. and
now do they compare with the German
and with the French Hers?

BASEBALL
DOTHAN TAKES FIRST;
HARD HITTING GAME:
FOUR PITCHERS WERE USED BY
THE TWO CLUES IN THE
GAME.

To go into detail on yesterdays ball
game would be almost impossible; to
say exactly what we think of the UNI
pire would prevent this issue from 60
ing through the mails; therefore those
who were present know exactly what
happened and those who were absent
should have been at the ball park,
right where they belong when ball
game is on in the city.
Anyway, we can't say Dothan won
the game, but came out with the high
score, 9 to Z, and during the nine in
nings just six pitchers were used. Nc
Farlan started out for the locals, but
was not in form. He was wild and
ineffective, and was succeeded by
Second Baseman Reilly, who really
did good work. In the eighth, how
ever, when the Pilots had come from
behind and almost tied the score, Wat
kins went in and finished the game.
Price started out for Dothan and
did good work for three or four in
nings, when he was hammered out of
the box. Hodge, who succeeded him,
was hit all over the lot and Poole fl
nally went in and checked the locals.
Although the umpire seemed deter
mined not to allow Brunswick to win,
and although DOthan had a big lead,
errors by the Pilots were very costly,
Rafferty, in center had decidedly an
off day, his three errors being costly
Willard and Reynolds led in the hit
ting. both securing four safeties.
Willard, when he struck out in the
ninth yesterday. had made ten straight
hits, leagues record for this season.
Here's the way the game looks in
figures:

SPORTITORIALS


Such umpiring as that of Laltocque
Yesterday will break up baseball
league, and that, too, in very short
order. Since the opening OF the pres
ent season the writer of this column
has generally been with the umpires.
1t is realized that they have a hard
lob at best and often, when they have
an off day or give one or two BAD de-
cisions there is some excuse. There
never was perfect umpire ana there
never will be.
LaRocque started out yesterday in
the very first inning, when ne turned
to the grandstand mad remarked,
"Youve got cold feet" That remark
alone indicated that he was going to
start something, and the game had not
progressed very far before a suspl-
Fcious grandstand was being convinced
that he was not only having an or
day, but that there was something else
behind all of those rank decisions. 10
enumerate the errors, II they are 10
he called errors, that he made would
be impossible, but we are absolutely
certain that had President Jemison
been in the grandstand yesterday there
would be new umpire in the Georgia
State league today.
We have alays considered LaRocque
one of the best umpires in the league;
he has missed few in the past, but on
the whole he has been away above
the average Yesterday, for some I'M
known reason, he made it appear right
at the start that if possible he was
going to see that Brunswick lost one
ball game and he succeeded,
1t seems shame tnat there is alb
solutely no redress; that the ballplay-
ers, who are endeavoring to win fair
ball games, and the fans, who only
want those won fairly and squarely,
and who are putting up their hard
cash for the sport, have to sit up in
the grandstand and see an umpire de-
liberately call man out at the home
plate when the catcher absolutely
fails to touch him; to see him wave
a batter out on three strikes when
said batter almost breaks his back
lodging a wild ball; to see him yell
"ball" and allow a man to take first
base when a pitcher absolutely splits
the plate. These are only few OF
the things that LaRocque did yester
day. 1t was not an off day either
because when an umpire has an of
day he does not discriminate.
u.
we would suggest that LaRocque be
kept from behind the Dothan club fol
few days. Maybe he'll improve.
