MORE UNDER SUSPICION

While some may find it temporarily
profitable to violate the laws of the state
in the matter of peddling booze, two
of the outlews have come within the
iron autch of the law during the past
week II Glenwood and have had occa-
sion to realize that it is not SO easy
to defy the laws of the land and get
away with the job as one might at
first imagine.
The officers have not been asleep but
have been waiting good opportunity
to make catch and this came the
first of the week when Marshal Rohr
arrested Jesse Dewey on a charge of
bootlegging. Dewey had for a long
time been under suspicion for this Of
fense but as a consignment Of whiskey
was recently received by him search
warrant was issued and his premises
searched with the result that but little
of the stuff was found. Everybody
knew that Jess had not consumed all of
an explanation as to what had become
of the booze he came through with the
information that he had sold it. With
this plea of guilty, Police Magistrate
Squire gave him light sentence,
fine of $50 and costs, which was paid
and it Is hoped that Dewey has learned
lesson that will not be soon forgot
ten.
Wednesday r. E. Holton of Carbon
dale was brought before Judge Squire
also on charge of bootlegging and he
followed Dewey's example and entered
plea of guilty and probably made
$50 by his plea for the magistrate also
gave him light fine of $50 and costs
which the accused promptly paid. Hol-
ton was arrested last Saturday night
when he and some of his associates
became a little hilarious. A certain
young man of Glenwood who partook
of some of Holton's whiskey had
narrow escape from unpleasant motor
iety and he likewise has probably
learned valuable lesson.
Oscar Wald of Carbondale was not So
fortunate for he imbibed little too
freely and his intoxication was very
perceptible to passersby on the streets.
Accordingly he was brought before the
police magistrate Wednesday to answer
~ So lr,,v L. 10
the officers they had the goods on him
and he might just as well 'fess up. He
drew So and costs with the admonition
that it hight pay him to walk straight
when he comes to Glenwood.
Wednesday night Marshal Rohr
called for a search warrant to search
the premesis of William Plum, ex-bar-
tender and a suspect who had been
shadowed until the marshal knew he
had good case against him. Then lie
acted, About that time Pnflum also
became very active and when the of
ficer went to look for him Thursday
morning Phflum did not respond TO the
ring Oh Ine uooTbeii.
About this time it was learned tha5
two other of our citizens had become
convinced that Glenwood officials con-
sidered their room preferable to their
company and had flown by the light of
the moon. One report has it that they
did not wait for the train to arrive IN
Glenwood but that they walked to New
Castle and boarded train at that
place. One of them is wanted in con-
nection with the automobils transpo--
tation of barrel of whiskey from
Carbondale to Glenwood. The fellow
knows he is guilty but he doesn It know
it any better than do the officers, and
he evidently decided to go while the
going is good. for the roads are bettef
in the direction Of Utah than they afs
towards Canon City.
Those who know the present address
of this delectable trio should inform
them that Marshral Bohr has ! ~
