told an interesting story Of how
he came in possession of the
stolen car. He says that he
was in Alamosa Sunday night
and there met a fellow whom
he had seen here q few times;
that the man persuaded him to
accompany him to Antonito
and then let him drive the car
to Embudo where the two
were to meet again; the stran-

unable to locate any such mys-

LARGE CROWD AT
LEAGUE MEETING

A we'll attended meeting of
the Non-Partisan League was
held Monday night at Wood
man hall in Monte Vista. The
address of the evening was de-
livered by E. S. Agnew of Den
yer.
To many it appeared that
the meeting held nothing new
in the way of information and
was a recital of grievances and
wrongs suffered under the
Capitalist" system such as was
heralded in the old populist
days. The Non-Partisan Lea
que is the third party to be
launched in political affairs
and its function is claimed to
be purely legislative.
The League in this county
boasts some four or five hund-
red members at $18 per head.
Estimating that their strength
at the polls would reach 1000
votes, it is easily seen that they
would hold the balance of
power" if not capable of d.
rectly electing their own can.
didates.
Mr.. Agnew explained some
things proposed by the League
in which there is much merit
and much that he said sounded
beautiful in theory.
