Sandy Hook Mill TO be Moved
To Roosevelt Tunnel at Once

Work is now going forward on NOV
ing the stamp mill from the Sandy
Hook on Gold Creek to the Roosevelt
Tunnel just below Pitkin on Quartz
creek. The Sandy Hook mill was orig
lnally constructed at cost of about
1000, but was purchased by the
Roosevelt people at decided bargain.
The mill and machinery are in excel
lent shape: having been used but a
short time by the original owners.
The Roosevelt operators are hard at
work preparing the site for the mill.
and trucks will start at once moving
the mill to its new location. This mill
will put the Roosevelt Mines company
on real business basis, and the COM
ing year should see large force at
the mine.

IMPORTANT DECISION GIVEN
IN GUNN|s0N LIQUOR CASE

A. Shipley of Paonia and Matt J. Koch.
evar OF Gunnison, Smuk appealed the
case from District court, where he had
been sentenced to from one to two
years in the state penitentiary, to the
supreme court, alleging that inasmucf
as the officials had no search warrant,
they could not introduce in court as
evidence what they found while in his
house.
After several months, the Supreme
court this week handed down a deci-
sion affirming the sentence of the
District court, which convicted Smuk
last April. Under the law, an officer
is not required to have a warrant for
the arrest Of person when this per-
son has committed crime in the
presence of the officer. The Supreme
court took the position that II an off
Ger comes into your house and finds
you in possession of liquor, he finds
you committing q crime in his pres
ence, as under the Colorado statute the
possession of intoxicating liquor for
other than medicinal or sacramental
purposes is an offense.
Counsel for Smuk contended that the
liquor was inadmissible evidence inas-
much as the search warrant, which was
on the way at the time of the search,
was improperly issued.
Justice Teller, who wrote the opin-
ion, disposed of the question by say
ing: "The statute of 1919 makes the
possession of intoxicating liquor an
offense; hence, when the officers dis
covered such liquor in the defendants s
possession, they might rightfully re-
gard him as committing an offense in
their presence. They could, therefore,
arrest him without . warrant.
Officials regard the Supreme court
decision Monday as one Of the most
important that has been handed down
in connection with prohibition enforce
ment. They point out that while the
opinion does not state that . mans
home may be secured without q war
rant, it does hold that liquor obtained
in a search without search warrant
is legal evidence.
II an officer undertakes to search
a mans house for liquor and fails to
find any, he is in no wise protected
under this ruling.
Smuk has been in confinement at
the Gunnison county jail since May,
awaiting the result Of his appeal to
the Supreme court. Although no Of
fetal court order has as yet been re-
ceived, it looks like Smuk would have
have to serve out the sentence imposed
upon him by the District court last
April.

A decision Of more than statewide
importance to prohibition enforcement
officials was that handed down by the
Supreme Court of Colorado Monday of

Smuk was arrested last spring at
Somerset, in connection with alleged

In searching his premises, officers

addition to the elk killing charge,
Smuk was also arraiged for violation

sion of 1t in the Senate will show to
the people of the country exactly what
1t means, and that they will emphasize
their resentment against it by their
votes in the coming Congressional
elections.
Il am opposed to bonus for former
service men," said Senator Myers to-
day, because I believe 1t wrong in
principle and also because know that
the business conditions Of the country
do not justify it. Either objection is
sufficient, or should be.
II favor. and from the beginning
have favored. doing everything within
the bounds Of reason for those of our
former service men who were disabled
as result of their service. To them
I think we should be not only just but
most liberal and generous. have
with pleasure supported every meas
ure that has come up in Congress for
their benefit.
However, to vote huge cash bonus
to young men who served their coun-
try and returned from The war safe,
sound and unharmed and generally
actually benefited by their experience
for doing plain patriotic duty, which
is the duty Of every loyal citizen when
the life or rights of his country are
at stake. I think would be wrong in
principle.
Highest Duty of Citizen.
ITO defend ones country when its
life or safety is at stake Is the highest
duty of a citizen and the greatest
possible act of patriotism. We all owe
that common duty. To contend that
one should be paid compensation for
performing that duty is utterly con-
trary to our traditions and the prin-
ciples Of self-Soverning country.
1T Is entirely foreign to the spirit
of republican form OF government
1t is Prussianism. 1t is analogous to
claiming that one should be paid for
defending his home from violent in
vasion and assault.
1T never has been done for Ameri-
can soldiers in any war in which this
country ever engaged, and / do not
think it should be done now. 1t would
be commercializing patriotism and
would be detrimental to the fine senti-
ments of loyalty and destructive Of the
best principles of citizenship.
Our soldiers and sailors did a grand
and glorious work. They performed a
patriotic duty and performed it we'll
and nobly. They are entitled to and
have the everlasting gratitude of the
people of this country. / have the
greatest admiration and warmest re-
gard for our young men who entered
the service for the defense of our
rights and the protection of the civil
ization of the world
However. to attempt to put a
money estimate upon their service and
to pay them for 1t would not be giving
them anything. 1t would be taking
something from them. IL would take
from them the glory to which they
are justly entitled of having responded
to their country's call and offered their
all in defense OF their country; the
supreme glory. the greatest heritage
that can come to an American citizen.
1T would detract from that glory
and rob them of priceless heritage.
Furthermore the business condI-
