TWO JUDGED ON CHARGE
 0F SELLING BOOZE

Marshall Bobby Burns picked up two suspicious looking colored gentlemen of leisure last Saturday, who had in their possession twenty-five bottles of booze. They confessed to having left Needles with thirty-six. Ten bottles had been stolen from their trunk, they said, and one broken. After a con- fidential talk with the two, before the town attorney, F. M. Gold, the county attorneys office was consulted. The two coons were then let go for few days, and later arrested by deputy sheriff, M. c. Smith. When arrested they had but thirteen bottles left.
 Summond before judge Twitty, the two claimed that they had been robbed of the twelve missing quarts, before their eyes, by men from all over town. They were bound over to appear before the Superior Court. The evidence seems strong and a conviction will probably result.

MEN'S CIVIC LEAGUE
 ORGANIZED APRIL 13TH

III CllO OIAlSC O1 6ACCOl HOy 1Olu, last Thursday night, the perma- nent organization of the Mems Civic League of Williams, was organized. Officers were elected and the membership divided into departments for special work.
 In general plan this organiza- ton is modelled to some extent, after the Woman's Club of Will Hams. The work of some of it's departments, too, is almost iden- tical with that of some of the de- partments of the Woman's Club and it is planned to have these departments cooperate with like departments of the Woman's Club, to work for the betterment of the community.
 The permanent officers elected at this meeting are: President, F. E. Wells; First Vice President, T. H. Cureton; Second Vice Pres ident, c. H. Appleton; Third Vice President, I. P. McConkey; Secretary-treasurer, R. I. Mona han. The three initial depart ments organized are: the Law and Order Department, the Boys Department and the Municipal Improvement Department. The Vice President is, by virtue of his office, president of the Law and Order Department, the Sec ond Vice President is president of the Boys Department and the Third Vice President is president of the Municipal Improvement League.
 It was the sense of the meeting that the Law and Order Depart ment should be pushed most act ively during the first month, al tho both of the other depart ments will hold meetings and plan their work for the year.
 The object of the organization, as expressed in it's constitution, is: to aid in the enforcement of the town ordinances and the laws of the state, to engage in active work to improve the environ ment and influences to which the boys of the community are sub jected, and to work in such other ways for municipal improvement as the organization may deem ad- visable.
 Membership in the organlza- tion is open to all who thereby endorse it's purposes and desire to work actively with it to help attain it's object. Any person de- string to join in the good work should give their name to one of the present members and have it presented at the next meeting for acceptance.
 The Law and Order Depart ment is actively at work and ex- poets to have good results to show for their efforts, in the near fu- ture. Any officer who does his full duty in the way of law en- forcement may depend upon the hearty cooperation of this de- partment and of the general or ganization.
 The Boys Department plans to organize as many of the boys of the town under the age of eighteen, into a scout troop, as may be possible. A meeting of the boys will be held in the near future and with the co. operation of this department it is hoped that the Scouts may accomplish many times more than they suc- c9eded in accomplishing last sum- mer.
 The Municipal Improvement Department will cooperate with the Town Council and the gen. eral public in an effort to inn prove the town in every way pos sible. Street improvement is one of the first things to which they will give their attention. They are considering the matter of oil
