EXPERT BooTLEGGiNG
CLAIMED TO EXIST IN KANSAS

The subject of bootlegging always
becomes of Importance in dry" ter
ritory, and is perhaps of more impor-
tance in newly dry state.
A small group of men were discuss
ing this matter the other day in con-
nection with Kansas.
Sam Farmer, who has spent the past
three months in Wichita. made the
statement that the bootleggers there
were not only organized but capital
ized, and claimed to have become ex-
perts through experience. He added
that there were 100 places in the city
of Wichita where an entire stranger
could go and sbuy drink.
These men, said Farmer, boast that
they will spread their organization
over Colorado as soon as the state be-
comes dry. They claim to have very
little trouble since they learned how.
When told that the bootleggers in
this state at this time were having
trouble their answer was: They are
cheap lot, mostly Mexicans, poorly
organized and attempting to do busi-
ness without capital or pull. We had
trouble in the beginning. but that was
because we were new at the business,
unorganized and without the means of
defense or of reaching the heads
Personally Independent editor has
no use for the saloon as an institution
and he has a hundred percent less use
for the bootlegging element, but If a
state whose people vote it dry, cannot
suppress that element. it might as well
or better go back to open saloons.
II is natural to expect that liquor
traffic in some shape will be permitted
in the larger cities. or at least in GER
tain wards of them. and there may re-
main petty attempts to evade the laws
in smaller communities, towns and
cities. but there won't be drunks hang
ing about everybody's necks and the
bootlegger's bed will not prove one of
roses in most parts of Colorado.

Board Elects Geo.
Bruce President

Saturday afternoon the new board
of directors of the Uncompahgre Val
ley Water Users association met at
the reclamation office and elected the
following officers:
G. w. Bruce. president; A. c. Nc
Clanahan, vice president; ]. ]. Tooin,
secretary; John Deeble, treasurer.
Before the election. however. John
Deeble made a motion that the salary
of the secretary be fixed at $50 per
month and the treasurer's at SO.
This motion was defeated by vote
of to 5. Those voting in the mega
tive being, Tobin, >Neale. Westesen,
Bruce. Obert, and Sweitzer. Those
voting in the affirmative were: Cat
lin. Deeble. Ross. McLanahan and
Thornily.
The motion then passed making the
secretary's salary $50 per month.
The matter of making the salary
of the president s25 per month was
mentioned but no action taken.
The question of the adjourned meet
ing of the water users association
was discussed at length and letters
read from the secretary of the interior.
1t was finally concluded that there
was no need TO hold the meeting, as
this project does not appear to come
under the secretary's plan for the
board of review. and it was agreed that
there would not be a quorum present
at Olathe on Monday and an adjourn
ment would be taken.
The following resolution was unanN
mously adopted in connection with the
matter of the board Of review:
Resolved. That 1t is the sense OF
this board that unification can not be
effected unless some one be present
who can speak with authority and that
the government ought to send such
Representative to the body authorized
and empowered to decide upon tho
multitude of questions and to remain
here until the unification is completed. 4.

ShOOtin' Fish Pass
Time For Doctors

A small party of Delta doctors were
out on a lake short distance from the
city one day this week. They may
have been looking for ducks, as they
had their guns, but as no game was in
sight they sought to amuse themselves
by shooting at some of the big carp in
the lake.
DR.. Hick walked out on the ice to see
if he couldn't see them through the
windows. when his weight became too
much for the thin roof of the lake to
stand for, and he shot downward until
his arms caught on the firmer sides of
his casing.
In the first attempt to extricate him
self Doc. had turned around, so that
the hole he made going down wouldn't
fit coming out, and the situation be
came as cold as the grave, if not
few degrees colder.
The doctor finally adjusted himself
to the mould and with the somewhat
tardy assistance of his companions,
got out. He was game enough to stay
in the open with his wet clothes on
until the rest of the party got through
their hunt and ready to start for home.

Outstanding War
rants Called

The warrant call published in this
weeks Independent calls every out
standing county warrant now issued.
This means that the county is at
present on a cash basis, although 1t
may be that a few months more time
may be required TO make warrants
all cash. though that will depend
largely upon the amount of taxes col
lected during the balance of the first
half. The second half of last years
taxes will begin in July and it is
likely that after that date the county
warrants will all be cash. 1t is
very satisfactory piece of information
at this time to be able to call in all
outstanding warrants, in addition tc
which Treasurer Earl Wilson informs
this paper that twelve of the school
districts of the county are on cash
basis. and that the county has, in ad-
dition. paid off s6.50O of bonded in
debtedness this quarter.
With presumably less bridge build
ing to do this year, the county should
get upon a very good financial footing.

Fraternity Club
Raided Sunday

Sunday afternoon being a fetsal oc-
casion at the Fraternity club, was ta-
ken advantage of by the city officers
and Sheriff Davis to gain entrance to
that resort and raid its inmates.
Admission was obtained, so it is
said, by the aid of agents of the Off
GERS who had applied for membership
in the club and thereby obtained keys,
and who, in the meantime had col
lected the evidence upon which the
arrests were based.
This evidence seemed to be in the
nature of a keg of beer which had
been purchased by the members for
use on this special occasion,
though some of the chips used for
counting points in the card games
played at the club were taken pos
session of by the officers.
Independent has not taken the trou-
BILE to obtain the names of all the per
sons gathered into the police drag-net.
The club, IL is said. has about eighty
members and. we understand, is in
corporated as social organization,
each member having a key to the
rooms which are located on the upper
floor of the Harry Mathers build
ing.
It is stated further that card. billiard
and pool games are allowed played by
the members for their recreation.
The charge made against the mem
bers OF the club. that were present in
the club rooms at the time of the ap-
pearance OF the officers. is: " Drink
ing In public place" Sheriff Davis
hints that other charges may be added
to the complaint Attorney Logan. on
behalf of those arrested. asked for and
obtained a continuance of the prelim-
airy trial to the 10th of this month.
Some Of those arrested are promin-
ent as we'll as pioneer citizens. who
do not regard the drinking of glass
OF beer socially as the blackest crime
in the dark catalog OF human deprav-
ity. and they are very indignant over
the matter.
The case. when II comes to trial,
promises to develop much interest as
well as some intense feeling.
