For just 10 cents you can feed

on Christmas Day. For So 90 you

arms he drew toward him the bran-

Or how about little six-year-o.d
yirl who, when the Germans carried
away every boy baby from her town
was thrown to the pavement by

Silt, arriving there about daylight and
spending the day there, driving up to
Glenwood under cover of darkness.
When Whitlock crossed the bridge
Richardson gave chase, but could not
keep up with the Ford which turned
the s3fner ut Ninth street and started
towards the eastern part of town.
Richardson finally located Whitlock
and his Lizzie under the shade of the
trees on the west side of Lincoln ave-
nue. where Whitlock and Tappero were
in the act of removing the booze, pre-
paratory to caching it from public gaze.
After Richardson had "stuck them
up' at the point of his gun and start
ed toward the Jail Whitlock offered
him a hundred dollars if he would just
let them go without reporting them.
Tappero, not to be outdone by his part
ner in crime, agreed to add another
hundred, but Richardson soon made it
plain to them that he was not for sale,
and the march continued until the city
bastile was reached where both were
booked as dodgers for the night.
1t is a matter of more than a little
regret that these fellows were tried be-
fore the city magistrate who was
powerless, under the ordinance to i'm
pose fine of more than one hundred
dollars on each. However, this barrier
will be removed upon the final passage
of the city ordinance which is published
in this issue Of tho Post.

Nabbed by Marshal Soon After
Returning From Cheyenne
With Load Of Liquid Joy
TWO PAY SMALL FINES

Last Friday night when Oscar Whit
lock, former proprietor of the Pullman
restaurant, drove his jitney across the
state bridge, at the end Of . perfect
day and likewise at the end Of long
and rough trip from Cheyenne, he BE-
gan to breed trouble for himself, for
the vigilant eye of Marshal Richardson
spotted him and there was merry
chase for the next two hours, culmin-
ating in the arrest Of Whitlock and
August Tappero by Richardson who
placed them in the city jail and then
seized the load of booze which he
found in their possession.
The next morning they were arraigned
before Police Magistrate Cardnell who
found them guilty and fined them one
hundred dollars each, and the neces-
sary trimmin g, which they paid after
some little parley and various explana
tions.
The liquor seized, consisting of so
quarts and 2S pints of whisky and five
pints of beer, was confiscated on orders
of the magistrate, and will be de-
stroyed.
City and county officials had been
for some time on the lookout for Whit
lock who was known to have made
several trips to Wyoming this spring.
Undersherih Barlow heard Oh him
leaving Rifle about 4:30 Thursday
morning and at once started down that
way, hoping to intercept the fellow on
the road, but failed to meet him. It

ANOTHER SHEEP CONTROVERSY

Wednesday afternoon meeting Of
the Roaring Fork Stock Growers asso-
citation was held at Carbondale, the pur-
pose being to discuss the encroachment
of sheep upon the cattle ranges, and to
take steps to prevent the same in the
future.
The specific complaint was lodged
against John G. Bennett, whose sheep
this spring have been allowed to eat
off the low range heretofore grazed by
cattle in the spring and fall when it is
not practical to take them to the sum
mer grazing grounds.
Ernest Edgerton made verbal protest
against Bennett being allowed to Craze
with his sheep lands which Edgerton,
Yeomans and others use every fall and
spring for cattle pasture. Mr.. Wise
also objected on the part of the Big
Four ranch which he said would be
equally damaged with Mr.. Edgerton.
NJ. l.. Shippee thought this was a
business matter in which every member
of the association was interested, as
any member might be similarly dam
aged II the matter of grazing sheep on
cattle territory was further allowed.
Messrs. Holland, wald, Zimmerman,
Dickson, Sewell, French, Sweet and
others were called upon and all agreed
that the grazing of sheep had become
serious menace to the cattle industry
in many sections.
Ir. French explained the attitude Of
the forestry department ON such ques.
tions, diselaiming Jurisdiction on the
public domain. Nr. Dickson explained
The Glenwood post., 1919-06-07

the work Of a committee recently ap-
pointed by the Grand Mesa association
in similar case, involving the cattle
areas in the Dotsero district.
Mr.. Bennett explained his attitude
and said he believed he had a right to
drive his sheep over a recognized drive
way to get to the summer grazing ter
ritory on the national forest. He said
if it became necessary he could go up
by the St. John ranch and lease some
patented lands and hold his sheep there
until he could put them on the forest,
but he thought in that way he would
be doing more damage to the cattlemen
than in the act they were complaining
Of Mr.. Bennett also spoke of drive
way which he thought he should be al
lowed to follow in driving his sheep to
the grazing grounds. However, the
cattlemen appeared to have no knowl
edge of such driveway.
Mr.. Bennett declared he was not will
ing to say that he would at once vacate
his present grazing grounds, whcreupon
resolution was introduced and unan,
imously carried, by which the forestry
department was asked to cancel Mr.
Benefits permit for grazing sheep on
the forest. Mr.. French said the reso-
luton would be considered by the de-
partment and decision made a little
later, but he could not predict what
that decision would be.

Territory Formerly Embraced
in Holy Cross Forest to Be
Administered Here
II. 4. FRENCH IN CHARGE

When the Holy Cross forest was cre-
ated in 1905, it included all of what is
now known as the Sopris forest as well
as its present area, which is better
known to Glenwood people. AS the
it was felt that it might be possible to
better administer this work from an
other office and SO the Sopris forest
was created in 1909 with headquarters
at Aspen.
With the shutting down of the Mid
land the timber sale business rapidly
fell off and the greatest fire menace
on the Sopris forest was removed. This,
OF course, greatly lessened the admins
| trative work on this unit.
| All but one or two of the sheep per.
mittees on the Sopris live at Carbon
dale, Glenwood Springs, or west. Ap-
proximately fifty per cent of the cattle
permittees live in the vicinity of Car
bondale and Basalt and transact a
large share of their business at Glen
wood Springs. The overhead expense
of a supervisor s office is necessarily
large. After due consideration of all
these facts, it has been thought advis-
able to combine the two forests with
headquarters at Glenwood Springs rs
of old, and under the supervision Of
Harry II. French, who was in charge
of the forest before it's subdivision.
Ranger Shoemaker, who has been IN
charge of the Aspen ranger district
will remain in charge of that district
with an office at Aspen. Forest Clerk
Williams and Miss Mulligan, stenog
rapher of the Sopris forest, will as
sumo like positions on the Holy Cros:
forest with headquarters at Glenwood
Springs. Forest Clerk Mahurin of tn;
Holy Cross and White River forests
and Supervisor Upson of the Sopri'
will assume like positions on the Pix;
forest, with headquarters at Denver
Forest Clerk Tyler, at present acting
as stenographer on the Holy Cross, viii
assume the position of forest clerk or
the White River forest. The Shoshone
district Of the Holy Cross, including
the Grand Mesa country south of the
Grand river, will be transferred to the
White River, and Ranger Neuswsnge'
Of that district will hereafter be car
carried on the White River roll.
While this change occurs during the
busy season, it will not hamper the
work Of the service in any way. The
men on each forest are largely men Of
experience and will "carry on" as be
fore. The needs Of the forest ussri
will be promptly attended to and the
interests Of all concerned will be rep

river in order to see to it that the
thirst of the fishes was properly
quenched. Sheriff Ackley is a gallant
officer and courteously accepted the
suggestion and Judge Tague watched
with great interest the bottle breaking
and booze spilling process, and thus
was one court order carried out in toto
and without substitution. The auto
which carried the stuff was also confis.
Gated by Judge Tague and this will
probably be disposed of as provided by
the state law, and the cash turned into
the school fund.

Guests Of the Red Cross and
Big Feed at the Williams
While Enroute to Coast
PROUD OF GLENwooD

at was the first real, honest to God
diner that some of MS had in over two
years, and take it from us, it was some
feed. If it were not for the Red Cross
people we would starve to death as we
cross the country. Say, mani We will
never forget Gltnwood Springs and will
boost for your little city as long ss
we live"
The above is but sample of the
praise given by the soldier boys who
stopped here for twenty-four stay ss
they crossed the country on their way
from the Rhine to San Francisco where
they will be discharged from the ser
vice of Uncle Sam and the great world
war will pass into memory with them.
Fifty-three of the boys, casuals from
overseas service, and who were in the
care of Lieut.. Dwight Jacobs and Ser
geant Thos. Smythe, the latter q for
mer Glenwood citizen, arrived here yes
terday on westbound No. and ssayed
twenty-four hours. During the morn
ing yesterday they were given auto
rides around the city and through the
nearby canons. At noon at the vii.
las they were guests of the Bed Cross
chapter where Red Cross ladiss served
one Of the finest shiHken dinnsra AVER
gotten together at the popular hostelry.

ing. In the afternoon there were more
auto rides and the swim in the pool,
and last night the Armory hall was
filled with dancers at dance given in
honor of the boys.
Lieut.. jacobs was loud in his praise
of the treatment here and said he was
sure Glenwood would remain in the
minds Of the boys for great many
years. He praised the boys of the
national army and said they all proved
to be first class soldiers who entered
the big war with a determination to
win as quickly as possible that they
might return to their regular business
pursuits. He said :he entertainment
accorded them here was the best they
had enjoyed.
A number of local boys who served
overseas were at the dinner at the Viii
liams and, while the boys show re-
luctance in going into details regarding
their war service, it was evident that
they were all glad to be back in tn
states again and among real friends.
Sergeant Smythe said he had hard
time arranging for the long stay here,
but that he pulled all the wires along
the railroad lines and finally convinced
the officials that the stay was a nee
essary move to preserve the health Of
the soldiers. 81 knew Glenwood would
do something for the boys, but this i,
beyond my expectations. 1t is the
greatest thing we have had and love
the old place and the people better
than ever" said Sergeant Smythe.

TWO MORE CONVICTED
OF BooTLEaGING

Wednesday of this week Sheriff Ack-
ley Of Eagle county arrested Jesse Dore
and "Fatty" Wyant, both of Glen
wood, as they were driving toward
Leadville with load consisting Of
twelve cases of liquid joy.
They were placed on trial before Mrs.
Tague, judge of the county court, and
convicted and each given fine of one
hundred and fifty dollars and costs,
the whole amounting to $359.6O, which
amount the boys paid after sending to
Glenwood for check which was fur
nished by P. H. Van Cleve.
1t was known that these young men
left Glenwood only a few days ago. 1t
was also known, or at least there was
strong suspicion, that they were
bound for Baggs, Wyoming, where they
would take ON load of booze for the
Glenwood or Leadville market. As ac-
tivity has increased rapidly of late in
bootlegging traffic, officers were on the
lookout for this sort of gentry, and
Ackley made the lucky haul.
Judge Tague has q way of ordering
the confiscation and destruction Of
bootleg whisky which is decided i'm
provement over the plan Of some courts
and admits Of no doubt Of the final
disposition Of the stuff, for she no
