CUTS POWER LINE

Monte Vista places of busi-
ness using electrical power
were put out Of business for
about six hours today (Friday)
when a storm cut the power
line somewhere between Monte
and Alamosa, the source of
supply.
The Journal was unable to
move wheel without the juice
as the linotype and presses are
operated by motors, and we are
late getting into the mail in
consequence To be without
electric current here is a rare
occurrence, as we are given
good service generally, but if
it happened very often we
should have to install one of
those popety-pop engines.

JURY AWARDS $1,000
VERDICT FOR COAD

On Monday. April 2l, the
libel suit Of j. Frank Goad vs.
August J. Weiss, which has ex-
cited the interest of the entire
County. came on for hearing in
the District Court. Judge Scar
cy of Durango. presiding.
Only too well known. this
suit arose as the result Of GER
tain publications by Mr.. Weiss
during the political campaign
of last fall criticising the Off
cial acts of Mr.. Goad as sheriff.
The evidence tended to show
that while duplicate charges
against the County had been
made, there was a subsequent
adjustment of accounts by the
sheriff and the Commissioners
and the Jury evidently decided
that guiltless Of criminal intent
the published allegations were
libelous, rendering a verdict in
favor of the Plaintiff in the sum
of 100000. The suit was Or
iginally brought to recover
damages in the sum Of $780,
100000
We are advised that the De-
fendant will file his motion for
a new trial, failing in which
the matter will doubtless be
carried to the Supreme Court.

INTERESTING Law POINTS
IN SUIT OF COUNTY JUDGE

The Suit Of The County Com.
missioners vs.. County Judge
James w. White. was tried to
Judge Searcy Wednesday. and
we are advised the matter was
taken under advisement by the
Court.
This case involves the fees
or earnings of the Office of
County Judge and the right of
the County Commissioners to
supervise the Office and de-
mand the payment of the fees
into the County Trasury. Our
Supreme Court has held that
the County Judge is a State
and not a County officer, as has
been supposed, and the constis
tutionality of regulating stat
utes is brought into question.
1t brings new questions to the
attention of the Courts and
while the decision of the Dis
trict Court is awaited with con-
siderable interest the matter
will ultimately be lodged in the
Supreme Court for final decis-
ion.

TWO CANDIDATES
FOR SCHOOL ELECTION

The coming school election
for district nine will probably
have two candidates for the
position OF secretary of the
board in the place of Mrs. Omie
Stephenson. retiring.
Charles Edman has filed his
acceptance for the position and
friends Of R. J. kavalec have
persuaded him to allow his
name to be presented to the
electors of the district. The an
nouncement of the withdrawal
of Mr.. Kavalec in local pap
err last week was unauthorized.
The schools vitally need a
board that will work hamon-
iously for a constructive pro-
gram and the electors should
take a personal interest in Sc
lecting the man whom they feel
to be best fitted.

These include some of the
very best high schools in the
state, every one accredited by
all state institutions and many
of them accredited by the
North Central Association of
Colleges. Many of these schools
serve we'll developed rural sec
ti0ns, and are noted for their
courses in agriculture, farm
mechanics and home econom-
les.
The county high schools ut
Montrose and Sterling are ex-
amples of advanced work
along these lines.
A number of these county
high schools have erected DORM
itories for nonresident pupils
and have installed cafeterias
reducing living expenses to act
ual cost. Among these are the
Washington, Yuma and Logan
county high schools.
The county high school is
able to offer superior school ad-
vantages because it is support
ed by a larger school district.
The day will come when local
JealOusies will be forgotten and
Rio Grande County High
school and Junior College will
be recognized by all as neces-
sary and most desirable contin-
uation school to the fine consol-
idated schools that have been
organized in the valley.

lie leaped back upon his seat and
drove away with the haste OF a man
who fears what may happen. He had
no wish to appear before Beaulieu as
the charioteer who had whisked that
daughter home without warning.
She stood outside, hesitating. A
flicker of light from the door shone
on her face. A man who came out
singing beating his whip-saddle across
his palm, stopped and swore amazedly.
Thousand thunders!" he painted,
speaking in Acadian patois. "If you
are not a June fairy, fresh lighted
here, then you are the handsomest
mademoiselle on the border"
He put out his hand, but she avoided
his grasp and hurried into the big
room.
Better inside where the tumult was
and where her father must be, than the
outside in the dark where men leered
and said the first words of passion
Of man for maid she had ever heard.
The swinging smoke of the room
clouded the vision of the startled eyes
with which she searched their faces
when they all turned to google at
her. Suddenly there was cry, a
mans yelp of astonishment. Silver
coins ratified and rolled on the floor
Vetal Beaulieu, his hard eyes popping,
had dropped a handful OF money he
had been conveying to his pocket
He stood transflxed, his wet fingers
outspread, his jaw sagging.

quavered. Her smarting eyes could

CHAPTER I
IouesoU,e Rear Laughs

DEGGY and Billy Belgium heard an
L odd noise as they walked through
the grove near the river.
wa! Wa Tfumph! Snuf Vow
Wa! Wa! War' 1t was like laugh, a
roar and a stomachache all mixed up to-
gether. At the same time there was the
sound of a heavy body rolling violently
about among the bushes.
Billy drew Peggy quickly behind
large tree.
what do you suppose It is?" she
whispered. Maybe it is the Flying
ogre"
Maybe" Billy agreed. And /
haven't thing to fight him with except
my bean-shooter."
Peggy and Billy still called the foe
of the Wild Geese the Flying ogre, al
though they now knew that he was only
an enterprising naturalist who was using
an airplane to study the Wild Geese and
secure specimens for his museum.
Billy didn't want to encounter the
Ogre, for the Ogre might have learned
that Billy was the one who had disabled
his airplane so the Geese could get away.
But as the odd noise continued and as
the thrashing grew louder and louder,
the children crept closer to get a look.
What thsy saw made them wonder.
There was Lonesome Bear rolling
around on the ground in a queer kind of
convulsion.
"Oh, do you think he has fit?" asked
Peggy
perhaps it's the collie" replied Billy
Belgium.

into the States, Here and there its
grumbling driver took advantage of a
broad place and lashed his horses
around a heavy wagon or bumped
past through the gutter, risking aXles
and wheels. Droves of animals block
ed the road bewildered in the night,
stupidity crowding together in the mid
die of the highway.
The old stagedriver, weazered
French Canadian. frequently shuttled
his chin over his shoulder and apollo
gized to his one passenger.
IL forget and talk some bad talk,
Mam'selle, But it's very much trou-
BILE on the Monarda road this night.
Those who are breaking the law, they
don't care if the mails do not get
through on time"
The passenger did not reply. From
the moment the driver had told her
that these men whose cattle and
teams filed the road were smugglers,
she had covered in the shadow OF
one of the coach's old curtains. She
could not see their faces In the June
night. But they were lawbreakers.
They inspired fear. The drovers yelled
oaths at their charges. The team.
sters beat their horses and cursed
delays.
I'VE shall do much better after we
get past Beaulieu's Place, Mam'selle.
They do not keep to the highroad
when they get past there and are
in the Yankee country. All, then they
hide in the woods and follow the
narrow lanes. We shall have the high.
road to ourselves when we get past
Beauleu's Place. We shall hurry and
make up the time we have lost" he
chartered, consolingly.
