Another Bootlegger.

Joseph Lopez was captured by the
local officers last week with twelve
quart bottles of Old Taylor in his
possession. He told the officers he
could get $3.50 per bottle for the
stuff in Phoenix, ana seemed peeved
because they interferred with his
prospective profit to be made upon
the delivery of the goods. He was
taken to Yuma by Deputy SheriA,
Henry Bandy, and last Saturday he
was brought up for trial in the su-
perior court. AS the accused was
in poor health Judge Baxter gave
him suspended sentence of two
years, with the understanding that
he leave the state within six hours.
Needless to say Lopez beat it over
