|COL. ED FLETCHER old MOONSHINERS
GETS ten DAYS IN APPREHENDED FOR
THE COUNTY JAIL HANDLING STILLS
But Judge Mayfield in
Passing Sentence Adds
Suspension

Unless Colonel Ed Fletcher, prom
incnt San Diego capitalist and good
roads booster for all Southern Cali
fornia. behaves himself while on his
present trip to Europe, he is likely
to have to serve 10 days in the I'M
perial county Jail, according to Judge
Mayfie!d of this city.
Early this month the colonel was
speeding to FL Centre 10 make con-
nections with train bound for
Yuma when he was arrested by Jack
Wilson. county traffic officer, who
caught the San Dicgan making 45
miles an hour on the highway west
Of this city. The officer gave the
colonel a speed ticket.
\ few days later Colonel Fletcher
was on his way to Europe and while
approaching FL Centre on the train
I he recalled the incident of his ar
rest He addressed letter to
Judge Mavficld. asking him to write
the colonel's $ secretary in San Diego.
notifying him Of the fine that might
be imposed for speeding. In ease
the judge insisted on II jail sentence,
the colonel said it would have to
wait until he returned from Europe,
or if it was desirable he would send
tence and would pay the latter
double wages while doing time. -
Asks Leniency
The colonel informed the judge
that he has been travelling Imperial
county roads for nearly - years
and has done much to have them
brought to their present highly i'm
proved state. This was the first
time he had been arrested and he
made plea for leniency on this ac-
count.
Fletcher also asked the judge to
inform the captain of the traffic
squad of the highly efficient man
ner in which Officer Wilson stopped
| him THE officer was courteous
and pleasant, and | want to com
pliment Imperial county on having
an officer of his high type the
colonel wrote.
In replying TO the colonel's 5 letter
Judge Mayfield admitted he is
mindful of Fletcher's good work ON
the highways, and the fact that he
has heretofore been a well behaved
citizen. He added, however, that all
Justices of the peace are inclined
to sing the same song and as the col
onel admitted in his letter that he
had exceeded the speed limit, the
song would be "ten dollars or ten
days.
THE sheriff does not need amy
additional help ON tine highways at
present. the judge wrote, cor |
would accept your offer to serve a
Jail term. The laws of the state do
not permit IL substitute to serve a
Jail sentence either. Therefore /
will impose II sentence of 10 days III
jail. suspending the sentence upon
condition that YOU behave yourself
while in Europe: and that you be
sure to come back to do more good
work for Southern California high

similar charge, following his arrest
by Deputy Sheriffs Corncilson and
flavc Kemp of the district attor-

According to the Officers, Viii
IlHmS was camped out near the city
dump, several miles northeast of FL
Centre, where he had a completely
! equipped still in operation. They
destroyed five barrels Of mash and
conflScated Il gallon of whiskcy,

with the still.
Williams, who is over 60 years old,

helped them unload his property
which was brought to the jail. It
/ included Il couple of bags of sugar
and Il sack of oats. also personal be-
longings, tent and bedding. The old
man hung on to his violin, which he
was allowed to take to his cell with

The amazing power of Karnak, the
new medicine that is producing such
a sensation in Montana, to bring such
quick and lasting relief is being SO
thoroughly demonstrated that it is no
uncommon occurrence for people in
all walks of life, including even min
ister's of the gospel, to come forward
with their unqualified endorsement
of the medicine that their fellow man
many be benefited also.
Now comes the Rev. A. A. DriscOll,
prominent Methodist Minister, re-
siding at 1853 Devon Court, Salt Lake
City, and states that Karnak has been
no less than a blessing in restoring
him to health again. Mr.. Driscoll
formerly occupied pulpits at Ban
cock, Mont, and Colorado Springs,
Colo, and is a we'll read and learned
man who dives for his religion and fOI
what he can do for others.
"This new medicine, Karnak, has
been such a blessing in restoring me
to good health again that I just feel
like going from house to house, in
the interest Of mankind, and telling
everyone the true merits of this re.
markable preparation" declares Rev
DriscOll.
