Personal Use Decision.

The Webb-Kenyon law. design
ed to prevent liquor shipments
from wet to dry territory, was
this week declared constitutional
by the supreme court of the
United States. Ghe court also
upheld West Virginia's amend
ment prohibiting citizens from
receiving liquor for personal use
shipped by common carriers in
interstate business. AS the re-
cent amendment adopted by Ari-
zona has for it's purpose shutting
out of liquor for personal use,
the opinion of the Supreme Court
will strengthen the arm of the
law in it's enforcement.
The Chief Justice, in handing
down the decision, said: "The
all-reaching power of govern
ment over liquor is settled. The
purpose of this act was to cut by
the roots the practice of permit
ting violations of state liquor
laws. We can have no doubt
that Congress has complete au-
thority to prevent paralyzing of
state authority. Congress exert
ed a power to coordinate the
national with the state authori-
ty."
Under this decision, according
to the attorneys representing the
government, states may now
prohibit the possession, receipt,
sale and use of intoxicating
liquors, and not be hampered by
the agencies of Interstate COM
merce.

County Attorney Refuses Drink.

Not reciting any personal ex-
perience, but getting our infor-
nation from Dame Rumor, we
have heard that the brand of
bootlegging whisky sold in this
town would make a rabbit fight
a bull dog, but we did not think
it would affect a mans judgment
so much that he would be bold
enough to offer a drink to the
county attorney. Last Saturday
evening while County Attorney
Larson was waiting for a train
to return to Holbrook, a young
man very much under the in
fuence of liquor, walked up to
Mr.. Larson and offered him a
drink out of his bottle. A few
minutes later the inebriate was
in the custody of an officer, had
a preliminary hearing and was
bound over to the superior court.
He is now boarder with Sheriff
Newman pondering over his
error of judgment. We have
never had any ambition to be a
county attorney, but Mr.. Larson
will find us contending for his
Job if this prohibition keeps up.

Murder at Kingman.

The body of a miner named
Vincent Ballard, of Kingman,
was found in the old Monarch
mine last Friday, mutilated ap-
parently by an explosion of
dynamite. An inquest was held
by the coroner, when it was re-
vealed that the unfortunate man
had been killed by a gun
shot wound, and eight buck shot
were removed from the body.
From the nature of the wounds
and the course of the bullets it
was evident death had been
instantaneous, and the murderer
had devised the dynamite explo-
sion in the hope of removing all
evidence of the crime.
Within a few hours after the
inquest the sheriff of Mohave
county arrested three men on
suspicion of being implicated in
the crime, but on what he basis
his suspicious other than bad
blood existed between them and
the murdered man we have not
been able to learn. Their trouble
had it's origin in miners rights
to claims
