Dog Runs Amuck

A dog which has been running
amuck thru the streets of the town
and surrounding country district has
caused the people of Richland consid-
cradle anxiety for several days past.
This dog bit and snapped at every
other of his species he came in contact
with, especially mutilating the little
pup owned by F. ]. O'Brien and bud
Jameson's dog. ]. D. Mccarthy, who
owns very fine Llewlyn setter, was
on the lookout for the marauder and
when it showed up at his ranch Mon
day and started to fight his dog he
made up his mind to get him good and
proper. With the assistance of Bud
jameson they tracked the dog to the
John Erickson ranch where Mr.. Nc
Carthy shot it. There certainly was
something wrong with the animal
from every indication and every man
and woman in the district should be
on the lookout for any peculiar action:
on the part of dogs in this vicinity
Rabies develops in from IA to 60 day.
and everyone should be on the lookout
| to see that no epidemic of this awfu
scourge breaks out in our little town

Arizona's Liquor Problem

With more than 500 charging illegal sales Of
liquor on the Cochise county docket alone it be
seen that dry" Arizona really far from dry in spots
at least, it has been decidedly "wet-"
The fact that the prosecutions been vigorously
undertaken in all part Of the state, however tend to
show that the county attorneys have been very busy,
and now the convictions coming rapidly despite
the handicap OF the personal use" provision.
Arizona is trying bTavely to cope with hard prob
lem rendered difficult that it is surrounded on the
east west and north by wet" states, temptation to-
ward bootlegging Sonora, the Mexican state the
SOUTH is as "dry" Gen. Gales make it. which Is
pretty dry considering that death sentence hangs
the head of any Mexican selling, buying drinking
liquor.
A liquor proposition IS 10 come before the PEG
pie Of Arizona at the election this fall Voters will be
obliged a dictated by the anti-pro-
hbitionsts, providing for the establishment Of family
liquor the sale Of liquor bottles only and
not by the drink Only certain amount would be al
lowed to each person daily
Not only aye the prohbitionists combating this
measure but thew have one of their own which will
be voted It would make the possession of any acO
holic OF spirtuous liquor crime punishable by jail
sentence This IS aimed against the personal
use" provision at present recognized whereby 1t Is
possible to convict bootlegger if he the liquor
found his possession IS for personal use only He
cannot be reached unless caught in the act OF dis
posing of liquor which invadates any personal plea
1t evident from the way convictions nave been Sc
cured in all superior of the state recently that
Arizona is determined force the observance of the pro-
hbition law completely possible despite the very
considerable sentiment against prohibition. And that,
of course the only proper thing to doto enforce the
law long it remains law and repeal it if the ma
io1y sentiment ever reacts in favor Of the saloon 1t
probably never WILL so far as Arizona is concerned.
From all advices received from that state Arizona has
banished saloons forever.

Stop Traffic Ordinance Violations

1t is evident that automobile traffic IN Fl Paso IS
not being sufficiently OF efficiently regulated At the
principal corners in the downtown district the traffic
policemen seem to handle the automobiles WELL prevent
ing congestions and collisions at the SAINT time and
obligng motorists 10 proceed at rate OF speed slow
enough not to endanger pedestrians
Where there are traffic policemen, however, auto
mobiles frequently dash street intersections IN
apparent disregard of life and speed regulations alike
exercise the vigilance to the streets safely
Vigilance is proper but the aPprehenslons OF pedeS-
TRANS arise the belief that they may be struck
and killed or injured, despite their aertneSs.
On Montana and Bliss streets, many autOmoblhsts
seem to throw all caution to the winds and drive reck
essy, each trying to pass the car ahead As result
cars are continually swinging around each other which
means that the center well the sides of the street
IS taken up by speeding Then when car comes
swinging around from cross street. the
danger of collision great enough before, becomes very
much greater.
There are too many automobile accidents on Montana
and the number will not decrease unless existing
regulations ngidly enforced.
