BOOTLEGGER CAUGHT
WITH THE GOODS

Sheriff Nelson was called to Ar
kalon Tuesday, where it is reported
he picked up Truman Blood in the
act of turning two grips of whiskey
into the hands of Wick Hahn and E.
Hern.
1t seems that Blood dropped off
a passing train with two suspicious
looking grips, and acted so pecu-
liarly that interested parties con-
cluded he was a bootlegger At an
opportune moment they peeped into
the grip, and their suspicious were
confirmed, whereupon they took the
grips and hid them from Blood, and
phoned to Sheriff Nelson.
1t is presumed the liquor was to
be dispensed to the force of men
Lee Larrabee has employed at Arka-
lon, where he is loading sand and
gravel to be used in paving the Lib
eral streets.
Mr.. Larrabee has had quite time
getting his work lined out there, and
he feels that the two grips of whis-
key would not have facilitated his
efforts to land the sand in Liberal.

LIBERAL-FORGAN RAILROAD
TOWNSHIP BONDS VOTED

The question of the building of the
Liberal-F -Forgan railway was settled,
so far as the Kansas end of the line
is concerned, Tuesday when Precinct
No. l voted for the bonds 32 to Z,
and all the 10 votes cast at the Ante
lope school house were in its favor.
This puts the matter up to the citi-
zens along the proposed route in Ok
lahoma, and those familiar with the
situation there think it will surely
succeed.

Liberal certainly will need a park
in the future, even if it is not fully

of arousing interst in such an enter
prise is to be commended He is not
able to name a date for this enter
tainment feature, but it will prob
ably occur about June 18th, before
the harvest sets in, as he wants all
the farmers in this section of the
country to be present, as we'll as the
