 His Life.

DENVER. COLO, February 25,-- The faithful service and companion ship of his collie dog are remembered in the will of Louis Ferrari, who died recently at Albuquerque, New Mex ico, while enroute to his mountain home on his ranch in Bear Creek canyon, near Denver.
 Maggie" a wonderfully intelligent and beautiful dog, was Ferrari's con stant companion, and in his will, filed here, he set aside a fund of $500 for her care and burial. When she dies she is to be placed in a casket and laid to rest under the giant pine trees on the sunny slope of Brook vale, the Ferrari home ranch That was the dying wish of the master, letter by Joseph j. Celia, admins trator of the estate.
 For many years Maggie" was d star attraction among the hundreds of tourists who visited the ranch of her master At the request of Ferr- ari, the animal would go and bring for him any article which he might happen to desire. The dog would keep the woodbox in the kitchen filled with wood which she selected and brought in from the wood lot.
 Five months ago Ferrari left for California in hopes of benefitting his failing health. Maggie" was placed in kennel but fretted and pined for her master until she was taken back to the mountain ranch. There she will be cared for during the remain der of her days.

That the Prohibition enforcement

Charles r. OConnor, State Director
of Prohibition, who said:
We have been going under the
shadow of the pending decision,

are going to enforce the Volstead
Act with renewed vigor. The
whole machinery of Federal Pro-

the law will be met by heavy

"The effect of the decision will be to

worry about what other courts will
do. The duty of the courts is plain.
