j. Mattice, Duckwalls attorney, filed
motion several weeks ago to dismiss
the appeal He claimed that should
his client again gain possession Of
the supply he would be guilty Of
possession of intoxicating liquor un-
der the new bone-dry law.
Seized in 1923
Soon after dismissal of the appeal,
Judge Collins ordered Hawkins to
carry out the courts order, but
Hawkins hesitated, pending an in
vestigation of the situation by his
attorney, James Curtis. Hawkins
said the Supreme Court may still
have jrisdiction over the liquor. Late
Thursday Curtis advised Hawkins
that the party" could be staged
without legal entanglements.
The liquor was seized oct. 8, 1928,
In Duckwall's cellar by a party Of
officers headed by Hawkins, then
deputy sheriff Under former Sheriff
George Snider.
Following seizure Of the liquor,
Duckwall was charge with violating
the liquor but found not guilty
through ruling which held the search
warrant defective. However, Judge
Collins ordered the liquor destroyed.

NATURES TRAFFIC VICTIMS

One mournful result of modern locomotion is
the havoc wrought among domestic and wild life 1t
is a common thing in cities to dogs and cats
over by automobiles. 1t is no less common in the sub
urbs and the open country to chickens, birds squr
rels, rabbits and other harmless little of
many kinds crushed to death in crossing the road.
Any driver who is accustomed to watching the
pavement ahead of him is always seeing these pitiful
vestlge of feathers and fur, obiteraed by the
endless procession of wheels, to make for fresh
victims. One motorist declares hardly day passes
that he does not see at least victim, he
drives to the city in the morning home in the
nng The mortality among birds is especially large
Thus the motor comes forward des-
troyer, just when people learning to the
gun. Perhaps the birds and beasts will learn in time
to dodge the swiftly moving before the uggernaut
extermnates them. Meanwhile drivers should be
careful possible to give the innocent little intruders
on the highway chance of escape.

BUMPT BUS.SES

For smooth, easy riding says a traction mag
nate, nothing is better than street They're
good enough for me. The busses are too bumpy.'
He seems to speak without prejudice, after riding
on bus lines operated by his company to supple
ment the trolley system. He may be right, too.
But that will not keep people from patronizing
busses in preference to troeys, other things being
equal Buses may be bumpy, because pavements are
usually BUMPER than rails. But people like them,
nevertheless, because they like the feeling of riding
big motor and because they have seats, and be-
cause the busses give flexible service than the
street cars.
