DISTRICT COURT IS
CONTINUED AGAIN
Lack Of Cases Because Of
Sickness and Otherwise
Makes Action Necessary
ALL JURORS NOTIFIED

William Mccall was to have been
tried before jury on March 81 on .
charge of statutory rape, but after
consulting few people at Rifle whom
he claimed would testify in his behalf,
and finding that their evidence would
be very damaging to his case, decided
to plead guilty and place himself at
the mercy of the court. The offense
was especially aggravated inasmuch as
Mccall is said to have wife and
children living in Fremont county. The
crime for which he pleaded guilty was
committed at Florence and at Rifle.
Judge Shumate gave the young man
some good advice and rounded it off
with a sentence of from three to four
years in the penitentiary.
The case of Mrs Ben Hotz, charged
with violating the prohibition law,
was continued, on the representation Of
Mrs. Hotz's attorney, Carl Fulghum,
that his client was suffering from ap-
pendicitis and would probably have to
submit to an operation.
Because Mrs. Matte Gilman, charged
with the murder of her husband, had
not had sufficient time in which to
prepare for her defense, her case was
continued, and these three criminal
cases being disposed of, one perma-
nently and the other two temporarily,
Judge Shumate ordered the jury ex-
cused until April Is, when it is hoped
that all criminal cases will be ready
for trial.
The docket is not heavy, and Judge
Shumate is anxious to finish the busi-
ness so that the jurors may be ex-
cused before they are badly needed in
the springg work on the farms.

Mcclure PASS ROAD

The committee which is boosting the
Mcclure Pass highway held meeting
last Saturday evening and decided on
a publicity stunt as means of letting
the citizens of this and surrounding
counties, and especially the State High
way commission, know what great
opportunity We are passing up by not
taking advantage of the Mcclure Pass
road as q -3aeans Of connecting this
section with Montrose, Delta and other
Western Slope counties, to their mu-
tual good.
1t is a part of the program to have

LIONS DISCUSS
OIL BOOM AT CRAIG

The Glenwood Lions had their usual
interesting meeting at the Junior High
school Wednesday evening and were
served delicious turkey dinner by
the members Of the Presbyterian La
dies' Aid.
After the regular business was trans
acted an interesting program in charge
Of Goodfellowship Chairman Charles q
Merrill was given. Miss Adra Hudson
gave two pleasing vocal selections, &C.
companied by Miss Genevieve Dickson,
and Miss Dickson played two piano
solos. The addresses or talks had to
do with the much talked Of and popu-
lar subject, "oil." Walter spencer,
register of the local U. 8. land office,
who lived at Craig for many yesrs
until he took charge of the land office
here few years ago, stated that two
former Glenwood Springs residents To-
Gated the present town Of Craig and
conducted a general store there for
some time.
Craig is ideally situated, being at
the center Of several cross roads and
having as it were seven strong spokes
in its wheel or that many means Of
access to the town. "Craig always
has had vision, but not been vision
ary." The people are not selfish, but
believe that what benefits nearby
communities will naturally prove bone
ficial to them. He stated that they
are interested in the Dotsero- Orestod
cutoff because they feel that 1t will
give them another outlet to other
points in the state. He spoke Of the
oil excitement and is very much en-
couraged in regard to the outlook.
Lion M. J. Mayes, in his talk, stated
that during the past year eighty.six
Glenwood people had filed aplications
for oil leases in the Craig country,
covering IN area Of $4,000 acres.
"The reason for this great number il
because we have the land office here.

Sans hat, sans coat, sans cash, Leon
ard Day of "America is hiking across
the country from San Francisco to
New York on wager, and this week
has been the guest of the Glenwood
Springs Fire department.
Yesterday he spoke in the high
school, explaining his undertaking, and
last evening he addressed the Lions
club on the same subject. There are
several stipulations to Mr.. Days con-
tract, and these he explained to his
hearers. He must walk the entire dis
tance across the continent, must travel
without hat or coat, must not accept
any money from any source and must
not ask for shelter or food on the way.
Mr.. Day carries on his back a bag
containing loose leaf books in which
he is collecting material for book
which he will write after his Journey
is completed. He was greatly pleased
with Glenwood and plans to return
some day-on wheels.

NORTHWEST COLORADO IS EXCITED OVER OIL

Southern railway, branch Of the Den
yer and Bio Grande Western. No W.
ter for irrigation purposes is available.
Entries must be filed at the local land
office at Pueblo.
The land in Montana consists Of
16,0S7 acres in Teton and Chouteau
counties and will be opened for home
stead and desert entries April IS, 1924.
Good crops of wheat, oats and flax
have beer. grown by ordinary farm
methods without irrigation in years
when more than the average amount Of
precipitation falls. The data at hand
in the interior department indicates
that part of these lands might be class
flied as capable of producing CROPS in
wet seasons without irrigation, by ap-
plication Of proper dry farming meth
DDS and as being more valuable for
this. purpose than for grazing.

HI SCHOOL SENIOR
APE THE FACULTY

The Senior day program Of the Gar
field County High school, given at the
grade school last Friday evening, was
very interesting, consisting chiefly in
take-offs on the faculty, and convine-
ing the "freshies" of their insignifi-
canoe, especially in the estimation Of
the dignified(?) seniors.
A number Of clever stunts were
pulled off, some Of them not quite 20
dignified as they might have been.
Fred Benedeck of the senior class was
master of ceremonies, ably assisted by
the members Of his class.
A dance, with music furnished by
the high school orchestra, closed the
evenings entertainment. Light re-

SUPERVISOR RICAEY
RECEIVES PROMOTION

Mr.. and Mrs. A. L. Richey and chill
dren left Sunday afternoon for their
new home in Ely, Minnesota, where Hr.
Richey will assume his new duties ~
supervisor of the Superior forest.
Since he came to Glenwood a few
years ago as supervisor of the Holy
Cross forest, Mr.. Richey has gradually
pushed forward in his work, and hs
and his good wife have made many
friends here who will note their de-
parture with regret. But the change
means promotion and advance in
salary for Mr.. Richey, who stated that
he and Mrs. Richey were very loathe
to leave Glenwood and the many good
friends they have made in this COM
munity and take up their home in an
other section where the climatic con-
ditions are far less desirable than those
prevailing in Colorado. But there are
some compensating conditions to con-
slider, and the Richeys should take
soma comfort in the fact that they
carry with them the best wishes of
many loyal friends.

PREPARING COUNTY HISTORY

Rich Thompson of the White River
forest has undertaken task that has
heretofore been sadly neglected, and
which will be of great Importance in
the years to come.
Mr.. Thompson has volunteered to col
lect historical data relative to Garfield
county and the pioneers who biazed
the trail and developed the country and
initiated and made possible the splen-
did conditions we enjoy today.
Mr.. Thompson has been interviewing
the old settlers the past week about
first things in Garfield county, and he
will no doubt appreciate any sugges-
tions you may have along the line of
information as to the early day history
of this section.

Italian Woman and Male
Boarder Get No Leniency
From Judge Shumate
man IN COUNTY JAIL

Last Friday morning Sheriff Win
ters, Federal Prohibition Officer Rich
ardson and City Marshal Thompson,
armed with search warrant, entered
the Mrs. Brown residence on East
Eighth street where they had previous
ly been attracted by the odor Of eeok-
ing mash, placed the tenant, Mrs. Lena
Fabro, and male boarder, Joe March,
rnder arrest and confiscated 20 gallons
Of w,ne, 10 gallons Of beer, two bar
rels that had been used az containers,
severa, jugs and bottles and quantity
oe corn meal mash which they found in
the chicken house covered over with a
tub.
Mrs. Fabro has been living in the
ho, se several months with her boy and
girl, her husband, it is reported, living
in Salida where he works for the rail
road company. Living in the house
with the family was Joe March, other
wise known as "Poker Joe," because
of his usual occupation.
Wien placed on trial in the district
court Monday afternoon Joe admitted

booI.', but he denied the second charge,
that of possession. Judge shumate
said $50 and costs and 80 days in the
county Jail.
Mrs. Fabro cannot speak English at
all, but she admitted through an in
terpreter that she was guilty on the
two counts, manufacturing and posses
sion, denying that she sold the product,
but claiming that she just made it for
home use for herself and the children,
but she failed to explain the need Of
small family for such large guam
tity of intoxicants, and she was given
a fine Of 4150 and costs on each count.
March began to, serve his sentence
in Jail and says he will be ready with
the cash to pay his fine as soon as hia
Jail sentence is finished. Mrs. Fabro
has not yet paid her fine, but it il

If this proves to be a real thing it will
be largely because of the q. 8. land
office being located here, and the local
people are able to watch the locations
and information. During this same
period of time it is estimated by tho
land office force that from eight to
ten visitors have transacted business
in this office each day. These people
would average about $40 day spent
in our city, which means a great deal
for Glenwood Springs, and this number
will no doubt increase from now ON.
We are about 100 miles from the
Hamilton well and the center Of the
dome is about an equal distance from
Glenwood Springs and Steamboat
Springs, and it therefore behooves us
to look after our roads.
As all leases must be made through
the Glenwood Springs land office and
payments Of royalties in this office it
will mean millions Of dollars taken
through this office each year. There
will probably be an extension of the
division Of Bureau of Mines and the
logical place for this would be in Glen
wood surings, where the land office is
located. The purpose Of this division
is to look out for drilling and the in
terests of the government. With the
great number of people going to the
Craig oil field, it will mean much to
Glenwood Springs if she is alive to
her opportunity"
Joe Bells, who is said to-. be one Of
the original shale bugs, was called
upon and in showing how the oil lands
have increased in value, stated that q
number of years ago he had chance
to buy the royalty on certain oil lands
for $110O, while this same land is now
worth half million dollars. He said
that some oil unions of California are
going to drill several structures in this
state, and as soon as they are war
ranted in doing so will start refining
and marketing. This will mean q
great deal for Garfield county, and
Mr.. Bells is very hopeful in regard to
the oil shale industry in this county.
Leonard Day, the man who is hiking
through the country without coat and
hat or cent of money, was gu.ss
of the club and briefly told the stipu-
lations made in his contract. He is
experimenting with the fire depart
ments and is a guest of the Glenwood
Fire department while here. He stated
that he had noticed the progress the
Lions club had made, especially along
the lines Of cooperation. Mr.. Day
expects to arrive at his destination in
August and hopes some day to res.rA
to Glenwood and spend two years in
this section.

Refining company has just invested
an additional $4,000. The former
John Lynch ranch near Pagoda has
been sold under foreclosure and Mon
day the Midwest company redeemed
the property, paying off the claim Of
$4,000. This ranch is part of a new
field that is to be tested by at least
two oil companies this year.
Joe Bells of Grand Valley arrived
in Glenwood yesterday, coming direct
from the Craig field where he investi-
gated several of the promising proper
ties. Mr.. Bells believes the Craig
dome is the coming oil territory and
says that despite the recent unfavora-
bic weather, there is much activity in
that section and promise of still fur
thcr developments just as soon as the
weather moderates SO that rigs may be
brought in and put in operation.
Mr.. Bells predicts that not less
than so wells will be drilled in the
Craig field next summer, and while
some of them will be dry holes he
feels confident that considerable per-
centage Of them will strike oil, as
there is no question but that there is
oil in abundance In that territory.
In addition to this, The Post is ad-
vised that it is more than probable
i that boring will be begun right here
in this county before the summer is
over, either in the Divide creek coun-
try, where it is almost certain that
Ioil exists, or in the Cattle creek terri
tory where it is believed there are
good oil Indications.
