SERIOUS ACCIDENT.

Last Saturday evening Don Stoefel
and Ernest Edgerton of Carbonate,
and Gus Verdieck Of Cardiff left Glen
wood for Meeker. They were driving
in Mr.. Edgerton's Oakland car and
they had in the car repairs for Mr..
Stoeffel's car, which he was forced to
leave at Meeker few weeks ago.
Messrs. Stoefel and Edgerton intend.
ed returning in their cars and Gus
verdieck was to ride saddle horse
of Mr.. Stoeffel's, which was with
twenty miles of Meeker, to Carbon
dale.
The party was driving along, and
when about fifteen miles west of
Meeker and going over some road that
had recently been worked they struck
a rock, which they were unable to see,
as they had no lights on the car. The
car was thrown over thirty foot bank
into the White river. Mr.. Stoeffel
jumped from the car, but the other two
were thrown with the car into the
roaring river below.
Mr.. Stoeffel procured barbed wire
and threw it into the river, and this
was grasped by Ernest Edgerton, who
was thus prevented from floating down
stream. The other man held to a rock,
and thus marooned the two anxiously
waited while Mr.. Stoeffel hurried to a
road camp one-half mile away and Sc
cured men with teams and chains and
returned to the point and dragged the
men to the bank.
The following day men from Meeker
with hooks and chains attempted to
pull the car ashore, but were unable to
do so, and in spite of all they could do
the ear foated down the river, com
pletely wrecked.

an error on the part of someone, we
were just 800 shy of the amount
which was actually raised, and one dol

the result Of the drive $537.47 in the

vOLSTEAD ACT
ANNULS OTHERS
Supreme Court Holds Present
Act Supersedes All Prior
Liquor Laws
NO DOUBLE PENALTIES

w WASHINGTON, June 1.-Various i'll
ternal revenue laws enacted prior to
the adoption of the Eighteenth amend
ment, and designed to cover illicit dis
tilling, have been superseded and an
nulled by the amendment and the Vol
stead act. the supreme court held to-
day.
The court sustained the United States
district court in Oregon in quashing
an indictment, under the old statutes,
against Boze Yuginovich and cousin,
Boze YuginOvich, on the ground that
no offense had been charged under the
volstead act.
Miss Annette Adams, assistant dis
trict attorney general, who appeared
for the government, said that the eff
feet of the decision would be to abate
prosecution in number of cases in
which indictments were similarly based
and possibly cause remittance of fines
imposed in cases already decided con-
trary to today's ruling.
On the other hand, Wayne B. Wheel
er, counsel for the Anti Saloon league,
tonight held that the decision would
serve as further support for the dry
forces. The court agreed with the
lower tribunal in holding that icon
gress manifested an intention to tax
liquor illegally as well as legally pro-
duced."
Boze and Cousin Boze were indicted
for violations of sections of the revised
statutes. The first count charged Cen
gaging in carrying on the business of
distillers1'; the second with having
failed to keep "conspicuously" over
their place of business a sign reading
" Registered Distillery,' the third with
having failed to give the required bond
and the fourth with having "unlawful-
ly fermented certain mash"
The only question before the court,
the government conceded, was whether
the lower court had erred in deciding
that the laws on which the Indictments
were based had been repealed by the
advent of national prohibition.
"The volstead act the
said, "repeals all prior acts to the ex-
tent of heir inconsistency with the ma
tional prohibition act.
"In constituting penal statutes it il
the rule that later enactments repeal
former ones practically covering the
same but fixing a smaller penalty.
Having in view these principles We do
not believe that the general language
used evidences the intention Of con-
gress to infict for such an offense, the
punishment provided by section 1887
with the resulting forfeiture, fine and
imprisonment, and at the same time to
authorize prosecution and punishment
under section 20 enacting lesser and
specific penalties for failing to pay q
tax by imposing tax in double the
amount imposed by law.
eve agree with the court below that
while congress manifested an intention
to tax liquor illegally as well as le-
gally procured, it did not intend to
preserve the old penalties in addition
to the specific provision for punishment
made in the Volstead act.o
