Unsuccessful Attempt to Hold Up
Oklahoma Bank.

Sheriff Roberts handed us a news
paper clipping the first of the week
which gave a complete account Of
an attempted hank robbery at Salt
Springs, oklahoma, where Heirhol-
zer, one of the men who broke Jail
in Clayton few months ago, was
shot and seriously wounded while
attempting to hold up the bank all
alone. Heirholzer was being held
at Clayton charged with stealing
automobiles at the time he made
his escape. He was traced by Sher-
iff Roberts to Woodward, Oklahoma,
where all his companions were cap
tured, he alone managing to escape
the officers. This will doubtless be
his last attempt at robbery as his
condition is said to be serious.
Salt Springs is in Harper county,

BOOze Spring All COPked in Dawson
Enforcement Agent Puts Lid On

Nesting in the hills of northern
New Mexico, about three miles from
the Colorado state-line. is a mining
town. which, for a short period
prior to April L. might have served
as an understudy for the mining
camps Bret Harte described in his
stories of early California life.
But there were no prhibition Of
ficers in Bret Harte's time. The
booze flowed with abandon until the
pay dirt played out.
IN Dawson the mines still are be-
ing worked as effectively As ever,
yet the booze spring has been cork
ed 1t was the work OF Robert +.
Perkins. prohibition enforcement
agent in charge of the New Mexico
district
When Perkins paid visit to the
thriving mining village, he found
"moonshne" whiskey easily procur-
able. Even some of the soft drink
dispensers were selling the mixture
over the counter, and it was evident
that many stills were operating in
the vicinity. He remained in the
neighborhOod three days, tracing
the village tipplers to their souce
of supply. Then he obtained the as
sistancc of deputy sheriffs and of
the United States marshal for the
district and began a wholesale clean
up Of the town.
The result:
Seizure of four thousand gallons
of newly made corn whiskey, two
thousand gallons of corn mash and
nine stills, six of which were in
operation. Twenty four persons
were arrested and taken to Ration,
where complaints were filed against
them.
At the figure for which the pro-
ducts sold at Dawson, the whiskey
seized was valued at $4,000, or SIG
a gallon. and the mash at 5000, or
81 gallon, With the stills, the to-
tai seizure was valued at $4,000.
Dawson has population of about
1000, most Of the Inhabitants being
foreigners, Slavs and Poles predom-
mating.

Washington, April l2-Amid all
ihe impressive solemnity that marks

Joint session of congress, President
Harding went before the assembled
house and senate Tuesday afternoon
and gave the nation and the world
the first authoritative outline of the

lists. and declared that the United
States can never become a member
OF it.
10 set the nation hack On peace
basis. the president declared that
he would approve a congressional
resolution TO this effect, provided
it contained no moro than the SIM
ple declaration that the state of
war which has existed between the
United States and Germany for four
years is al an end.
While the president was emphat-
ic in his assertion that the United
States will have none of the League
OF Nations in its present FORM he
did not wholly reject the treaty
which former President Wilson in
terwove in the treaty. With regard
to the treaty itself, the president
