More Trouble

Mills now has S big start of
Court Trouble, Judging from
evidence apparent here. AS
nearly as we can get the story,
A Mr.. Huertado came to town
and the trouble started over gam
bling. Huertado was beaten up
and he pulled a gun and fired Sc
veral shots at Abel Madrid, he
then ran into the school house
for shelter where a lady teacher
and number of children were.
Justice Albertson and Chas.
Weatherill got the man out Of
the School house and he was
tried and placed under bonds on
several different counts.
Adolfo Montoya, and several
Others among the best citizens OF
the community furnishing the
bond 10 any amount asked for.
Huertado then started p p'oceed-
ings against Abel Madrid, George
Higgins and Tom McGrath or
several charges and they were all
bound over to the Grand Jury
and refused bond by Judge
Albertson. Our Deputy Sheriff
r. c. Grunig was called IN for
the arrest and took charge Of
them and started for Mora Thurs
day. They expected to get out
Habeas Corpus proceedings at
Las Vegas.
What the merits Of the case
are we don't know but we can
see the makin's of trouble in it.

ing all expenses left ample funds
to buy the coveted oil stove for
the Community Hall and some
left over for oil for it. The ladies'
deserve much credit for the way
they get things when they want
them.

Gates in Roads are Unlawful

Il is evident the movement we Tried
to start recently il regard to gates
on public roads is getting results.
Section lines that, by common usage
are regElarly Travelled are public
reads in the eye Of the law.
Some parties who have been DBlie-
ed to open gates in order to drive 70
town have written Attorney General
Clancy regarding the mattsr and
this is what he says:
September 26, 1916
There is nothing different about
the character Of an establi5hcd pub
Tic road which fellows a section line
from any other established public
road, and the general law is tiatt pub
lie roads must be kept free from OBJ
structions, ana a gate upon q public
road is certainly an obstruction. Tho
law on this subject win be found IL
Section 1898 Of the Codiaaation 81
1915. Section 2C3O Of the same Cod
ification is not in harmony with sec
ton 1888, but it is the opi1iion Of
this Office heretofore expressed, that
Section 2630 having been adopted in
March, 1882, while Section 2Gg8 wa5
adopted in March, 1903, is repealed
by the latter section and is no long
er in force.
The only exception in our statutes
is to be found in Section 5229, which
requires every lessee Of state lands
who shall fence the same, to erect
and maintain gates at all intersec-
tions OF public highways, and re-
quires any person passing through
such gate, to close the same, and
failure TO 90 so is made misde-
meanor. FRANK w. CLANCY,
Attorney General
October 5, 1917.
Replying to your letter of recent
date win say that my attention has
not been called to any new law pass
cd at the last session Of the legisla-
ture relative to the placing Of gates
across section lines, and further pro-
viding for the presentation Of a pc
tition Of fif' cen signatures before the
gate can 10 legally opened.

Dear Mr.. Ogden
Just a line to advise you that

fast time on account of snow and
mud but we kept moving along.
Oh there is nothing more de-
pendable than a Ford even if |
do say it. viii you send our S A

instead Of the former adrass.
| found a better house than our
present one, and right close to
school, which makes it so much
better for the children. So far |
have been doing detail work at
the Headquarters Building but
received orders to report at Ft.
Bliss in the morning. | heard
some very complimentary words
spoken concerning a former Roy
boy, NV. RUSSELL by an army
Captain, this evening. | hope all
our boys stand as highly.
Best wishes to all.
Yours sincerely
Rev. S. L. Ford.
