TY POLICE JENNINGS CAP
TURE STILLS AND OWNERS.

Sheriff E. r. Woods and County

docket the past week. Just before dark
Saturday they searched the house OF
Will Stevens, colored, who lives IN
the northeastern part OF town, near
McEarchern's store, and found two
gallon Jug. a quart bottle and hall
pint bottle filed with liquor. Three
gallons of blackberry wine was also
found along with complete distllling
apparatus, unassembled.
Judging from the still it seemed
that Stevens manufactured his liquor
on the kitchen stove and then dis
mounted his outfit.
At a committal trial his bond was
set at $500, which he has been unable
to raise
Fee White, who lives on the Wall
Bros. farm, in the lower part OF the
county, was arrested and his still
shine and mash conhscated. The out
fit was OF the usual kind. only a small
amount of liquor was found, but the
beer on hand amounted to barrel
He was released on bond.
On Monday morning the officers
were called to the home OF 7. J. Mil
Ter, near Dover, to serve a warrant on
his son. Johnnie Miller. The warrant
which was sowrn out by the father
charged his son with assault on his
mother and sister. He is now confined
to the county Jail. 1t is probable that
he will be made to make peace war
rant before being released.

OLD-TIME NOTIONS
GIVE PLACE TO NEW
SUSPENDERS AND S L E E V Z
ELASTICS SLOW, WHILE GAR
TIERS GAIN IN DEMAND.

NEW YORK. n. Y.-The Ameri-
can public is likely to take notion at
anv time. but it cannot be counted
on to buy notions. Retailers and man
ufacturers of some lines which have
been steady sellers for years are com
planning bitterly in consequence OF this
tendency.
Among those particularly affected
are makers and retailers OF hair pins.
One man in the notion business here
declares that the vogue OF bobbed hair
has resulted in a tremendous decrease
in the use OF these articles. The cal!
for curling iron has increased, how
ever, as many women cannot afford
a permanent wave every three months
Suspenders and braces have suffer
ed until the amount OF such products
manufactured here has dWndled to
ueager proportions. Even foreign
sales have evidenced falling off. New
Zealand is the best foreign customer
for suspenders, and even there the
latest reports show shipments amount
to less than $500 a month.
Elastic sleeve supporters. which tor-
merlv were sold in nearly every coun-
try store, have almost disappeared,
but more carriers are being sold than
ever before. In the case of the lem
mine contingent this is attributed to
the partial disuse OF the corset. AS to
the man. the popularity OF Knockers
and low shoes has furnished the slim
ulus.
Dress Shields Obsolete.
Dress shields. which once were d
staple article in the show cases Of no
ton dealers and which were made
part OF nearly every feminine costume,
are nearly obsolete. Dealers say the
borrowing OF husbands and brothers
razors and the use OF chemical anti
sudorifics are responsible.
Shoe laces are not in their old-time
favor. Since the passing OF high shoes
for women. and the fashion for pumps
and strapped low shoes, these articles
have declined in popularity with de
cided effect on the profits OF some silk
manufacturers.
Umbrella manufacturers are COM
planning OF the smallness OF sales al
though the season in nearly all sec
tons Of the country has been one OF
heavy precipitation Dealers claim the
popularity OF raincoats and water
PROCEED garments, the use OF automo-
biles and the availability OF taxicabs in
most cities has much to do with this
trend
Made-Up Ties Out of 1t.
Fashions in neckties come and go
but the day OF the made-up neck
adornment is regarded as over Never
theless there are two itinerate mer-
chants in the financial district OF New
York who do a thriving business in
made-up bows and four-in-hands with
old timers who decline to tie their
own.
The places OF some of these articles
have been filled by others developed
by present-day conditions The sale of
pocket TASKS has never been so heavy,
according to notion dealers. The pow
der and rouge compact is made and
sold in scores of designs and price
ranges, and cigarette holders and
cases are enjoying heavy sales among
both men and women.

COLORADO WILD DOGS
ATTACK CATTLE.

A series Of raids on cattle herds
and sheep focks was recently inau-
Eurated by a pack Of wild dogs that
invaded the ragged mountain coun-
try 40 miles east of Hotchkiss. Colo
rado. This is the first appearance
OF wild dogs in Colorado or north Of
Arizona and New Mexico. Unless
the animals are quickly exterminat-
ed, the cattlemen will suffer heavy
losses amounting to Thousands OF
dollars.
According to Stanley p. Young.
chief of the United States biological
survey. who has been intrusted with
the work of exterminating them.
the dogs are more cunning than
timber wolf. and they have the same
vicious tendencies OF that animal.
The first reports OF the presence
Of the wolf pack in Colorado reach
cd the biological survey last octo-
her. Since then four of the number
fave been killed. They were poison

nent hunter. The dogs are so

hunter gets near enough TO the
pack to use his rifle. Like the wolf.
the dogs hunt In packs. and they are
. particular menace to sheep flocks.

ed that they attack cattle ~ well.

are the offspring Of female collie
and . timber wolf. In the dogs
that have been killed thus far. there

collie and the wolf strain. The dogs
already killed are very large an

pounds.
Already the first estimates show
that hundreds Of sheep have been
killed by the wild pack. IN the
Hstehkisa district. and the death OF
dossas Of cattle can be traced to
then. Observers on the range re-
port that they have seen the pack
