Coal Creek Lady
Fined Bootlegging

FLORENCE, Oct. Gas the culmi-
nation OF a general good time at
Chandler on Saturday. September 30,
participated in by a number of col
ored people OF Coal Greek. Florence
and Chandler, a warrant was sworn
out for the arrest of Temple Wilson
OF Coal Creek by Clara Das Mehra of
Denver. on the charge of selling in.
toxicating liquor.
The trial came up for hearing IN
Judge Hamblets court last Saturday.
and 1t consumed practically the en-
tire afternoon. Six witnesses were
examined for the state and eight for
the defense. District Attorney Lee
Witcher conducted the hearing in the
interest OF the prosecution while Gen.
Maupin was retained by Mrs. Wi son.
The defendant was assessed fine Of
800 and costs. amounting in all to
s129.20. The case was appealed from
Hamblets court by Mrs Wilson's at
torney. 1t seems that the arrest of
Mrs. Wilson for selling the booze was
an act of revenge on the part of the
Das Mehra woman.
Mrs. Wilson was driving her car
from Coal Creek to Chandler on the
date mentioned and she was just
ahead of Mrs. Das Mehra. who owns
a high-powered Packard and has two
chaufeurs. Ben Plummer and Henry
Page. The Wilson car was obliged to
stop suddenly on the road on account
of the obstruction of another car
ahead. The Packard was travelling
along at such high rate of speed
that in order to stop 1t and to avoid
crashing into the Wilson car it was
necessary to run 1t into the ditch In
doing so the fender of the Wilson car
was damaged to the extent of $40.
Mrs. Wilson came to Florence and
demanded that the Das Mehra woman
pay for this damage. which she re-
fused TO do. stating that she had got
ten the worst of the mixup. Mrs.
Wi son started civil action to recover
the damage. and at this juncture Mrs.
Das Mehra got sore and fled the boot
