Viva-tone Case

Last Thursday a complaint
was filed against Edgar Layton,
who is the senior member of
the firm of Layton Bros, who
for the past several months have
conducted a restaurant in this
city, charging him with maintain
ing a nuisance by selling intoxi-
eating liquor.
The complaint was based up
on supposed information in the
possession of members of the
Law and Order League. A
search and seizure warrant, and
for the arrest of Edgar Layton
on the above charge, was issu-
ed. The place of business was
thereppon visited, the warrant
served by Constable A. M. Nc
Cay and one counter, a refriger-
ator, a barrel of empty bottles
and tifty-seven pint bottles of
viva-tone were seized. Two
bottles of the beverage we're at
once sent TO the State Chemist
by County Attorney Sullivan for
analysis.
Edgar Layton gave bond for
his appearance at the bearing
which was set for Friday morn
ing, but on account of the de-
fendant's attorney being called
to Liberal, was not held until
Saturday.
a number of witnesses were
subpRnaed and the case was
tried before Justice of the Peace
Sumner. The County Attorney
stated that after examining some
thirty witnesses and having re-
ceived the analysis of the viva.
tone from the state che mist, and
which showed that it contained
l.l9 percent Of alcohol, which is
not considered Intoxicating, that
there was no evidence against
the defendant and ruled that the
case be dis smissed. that the fix.
lures be returned, and the viva
tone destroyed. II. w. Griggs,
attorney for the Law and Order
League, protested and the case
was argued on the Monday fol-
lowing, before Justice Sumner,
who upheld the ruling of the
County Attorney.
Mr.. Layton was represented
by A. 4. Bodle.
The letter from the state
chemist reads:
Topeka, Ks, Feb. 25, 1918.
Hon. f. S. Sullivan,
Dear Sir
have just the aualy-
sis of Viva-tone and find 1.19
per cent alcohol. Light beers,
with no more alcohol than this !
do not class as intoxicants.
Yours truly,

Chemist to State Board of
Agriculture.

One by one those who are in
Life's afternoon, are being CALI
ed upon to give an account of
their stewardship and to receive
their eternal reward. The pen
dulum of that mysterious clock
of life, which began to swing
nearly a century ago, stopped at
a few minutes before six o'clock
on Saturday evening, February
27th, and it now becomes our re.
luctant duty to convey the un-
welcome information to our read
ers that Warren Stowe has pass
ed from among us.
Mr., Stowe has lived among us
for number of years and dur
ing all that time his life has been
as an open book. He was man
who was always on the side Of
right and justice, who never con
cerned himself regarding others
affairs, and who was meyer
known to speak an unkind word
of anyone. Too much cannot be
said of him and all that we might
say could add but little to the
life he so well lived, to the many
marks of goodness shown in his
everyday hfe, and TO the good
examples set in that calm, quiet,
unassuming way, he possessed.
Warren Stowe was born in
Ringe New Hampshire, October
3lst, 1917. He received his ed
ucation in New Ipswich Academy
New Hampshire, Oberlin Col
lege, Oberlin, Ohio, and Boston
School of Music, Boston Mass
achusetts. III 1855, in company
with his brother, and a cousin he
came to Lawrence, Kansas for
the purpose of helping to make
Kansas free state, and during
the troublesome days which fol-
lowed he joined the home guard
of which he was member at the
time of Quantrel's raid.
In 1853 her was united in mar
riage TO Mrs. Frances Norton,
who passed away in 1865,
lie came TO Meade county IN
1887 and resided here until his
death, at the home of his daugh-
ter, Mrs. E. w. White, on Satur
day evening, February 9th 1915
He is survived by one daugh-
ter, Mrs. +. W. White, of this
city. and two step-daughters,
one residing in Yates Center,
Kansas, and one in California.
Mr.. Stowe was a faithful mem.
Der of the Methodist church
for nearly century, and was in
attendance the Sunday before
his death.
Funeral services were held on
Tuesday afternoon, March 2nd
at the M. K, Church, Reverend
Hunt officiating, and interment
was made in Graceland d ce metery.

Oil Well New.

Excellent progress is being
made on the oil well at Minneola,
and if the work goes forward at
the present rate Southwestern
Kansas will not long be in doubt
as to whether or not there is oil
or gas beneath her. The for
nations so far have been in keep.
ing with the expectations and
there is every prospect that the
we'll will result in find.
There is a great difference be-
tween this and the ordinary
"wild cat" oil and gas PROPOSE
tions, and it is not fair to the
promoters to class it as such.
In the first place there are all
ways two chances against the
investor in the ordinary COM
pany. The hole is usually start.
ed when small part Of the cap
ital is on hand and IN case the
stock is not sold the well is not
finished. This is one of the
chances. OF course the other
is that the hole will be dry.
With the Short Grass Oil & Gas
Company it is different. The
big risk of the capital not being
raised makes no difference, as
the money to sink the we'll 1000
feet has been guaranteed by the
promoters. The stockbolder
will take no chance of the well
not going the required depth,
and if there is oil or gas in the
ground his investment is going
to prove profitable, as there is
nothing more remuneratIve than
good oil or gas stock.
The men who started this
proposition, together with sever
al who came into the company at
the start are men of means and
they are spending lot of their
own money to see the proposition
through. There is not a salaried
officer in the company, and every
one is putting in his time; is
working for the stockholders
without pay.
How much benefit the finding
of oil or gas would be to Western
Kansas is hard to estimate in
dollars aud cents. 1t would give
this section resource that
would increase the wealth of the
country as no other thing pos
sible could.
And it is very gratifying the
way the people of the country
are coming to the assistance of
the company in taking stock to
raise the funds to complete the
work. Every town of any inn
portance on the Rock Island is
the home or several stock bolders
although the sale of stock has
not been vigorously pushed. Ii
has taken on the appearance
more of a country development
than a financial proposition. aud
people Lying in the towns on
both sides of Minueola are TAX
ing almost as much interest as
are the residents of that town.
The Dodge City Com mercial
Club has. become very much in-
terested in the well and have
made proposition to the COM
pauy that they subscribe enough
stock to put the well down
thousand or fifteen hundred feet
deeper than the original plans go
If this deal goes through the
we'll will be sunk $500 feet and
there is little chance that it can
fail to he success. OF course
the arrangement will be to the
advantage of the original stock
holders who will gain by the
transaction. The Dodge City |

the matter of oil or gas settled !
