PHONE COMPANY
Suffers Heavy Loss in Last
Weeks Storm

AS the result of the heavy sleet
last Wednesday, the Mountain
States Telephone company has
suffered loss between Holly,
Granada and Bristol that will
easily foot up to thousand dol
lars in broken poles and the labor
necessary to install new ones.
Local Manager O'Malley esti-
mates the damage done by the
sleet to the poles and wires at
$1,000 easily and may probably
run in excess of that figure.
O'Malley and a number Of other
men were kept busy keeping the
lines open during the downfall of
sleet, which has all records beat

RooTLEoGER NARRED

R. O. McGinn, an employe of
the Marvel ranch near Granada,
plead guilty on the charge of
bootlegging last Monday before a
Lamar justice, and was assessed
$100 fine and thirty days in Jail.
McGinn, it appears, received two
shipments, the larger portion of
which he could not account for
until persuaded to do so by Sher-
iff Downing. when the young man
told him the straight" of it
that there were others implicated
except him.
AS the doughty sheriff was about
to send the young man to the
county boarding house, a friend
stepped up and whispered into
Judge Kirkpatrick's ear that
young McGinn was the sole sup
port Of a widowed mother and
three sisters, when a tear trickled
down the cheek of the Judge,
and with tones modulated, told
McGinn that he would remit the
fine and parole him pending his
future good behavior and promise
to do better, which he did.
