Dispatch has been indebted to the
proprietress of this interesting little
place for years for very interesting
and thrilling accounts of happenings
south of the border that could not
have been obtained from any other
source.
One Of the finest things about the
Curio is the work done each Christ
mas season by Mrs. Gatliff and her
staff toward making Christmas mean
something to the poor children of
Aqua Prieta A great Christmas tree
is set up at the Curio and a banquet
with fruits and candies and presents
is given the children who would
otherwise know almost nothing of the
Joy of the holiday season as children
know it in this country.
The Curio has long list Of patrons.
Nearly every tourist who visits the
border country stops there and this
means that if they ever come back, as
so many do, they will stop there
again. The Curic is refreshing dit-
ferent, appeals to almost every one
and contains valuable historic lore.

The most historic spot in the Doug
las district is the Curio Cafe in Aqua
Prieta. This cafe has been the head
quarters OF large number Of men
who have made history in Mexico in
the past 1t is operated by Mrs Alice
Gatliff, who is a pioneer resident Of
the district and who has lived at her
cafe through some of the bitterest
political struggles that have come TO
the southern republic.
This cafe is not an ordinary sort
of place 1t is old and it shows its
age. There is curio store in connec-
tion with it and a regular first class
little ZOO in the back yards. There
are parrots, monkeys, bears, wild
pigs, peacocks, quail and canaries in
this ZOO and the collection varies
from time to time. 1t is very inter-
esting for some Of the animals are
natives of southern Mexico and are
seldom .seen in this part Of the
country.
The curio store cantains Cnusu-
ally large assortment OF curious and
useful things. All of the things to
be seen here are genuine, according
to the management, and are made IN
Mexico. One could hardly fail in
finding what he wanted here. There
are little trinkets and curiosities that
cost but a few cents, and then there
are others that are very expensive.
Many people go to this store to
purchase postcards to be mailed from
Mexico to ''the folks back home" The
clerks in the store can explain each
article on display, tell it's history,
where it came from and what con-
stitutes it's value. They can also give
complete information about customs
duties. There are many things in
this store that can be brought to the
United States without duty, but some
OF the things must pay duty, and the
clerks can tell you how much this
will be and how to go about declaring
the articles.
The cafe service at the Curio is
good. They make u specially OF
Mexican dishes and prepare them in
the most appetizing Mexican style
At the proper season the Curio is
also famous tor its game dinners
Venison, bear meat, quail and many
other game dishes are served. Al

TRANSIENT CHARGES
JONES WITH ROBBERY

A transient, giving the name of
Lee Jones, is in the county Jail,
held to the district court on a
charge of robbery with bonds
placed at $4,000. Lee was arrest
ed at Scobey on complaint of his
alleged victim, John Knapp, anoth-
er transient. Knapp claims that
on October 1st, at Bainville, Jones,
accompanied by other men, held
him up and relieved him of about
$50 in cash. A few days after
wards Knapp recognized Jones at
Scobey and complained to the
who arrested him.
Sheriff Anderson went to Scobey
and brought Jones here.
At the hearing held before Just
ice Gordon, Jones denied that he
had robbed Knapp, but admitted
being present when Knapp lost
his money. He claimed that
another man in the party made
wager with Knapp bearing on
Knapp's ability to open his own
pocket knife. The story sounded
flimsy to the court and the de-
fendant was bound over.

TEAPOT GRAFT
KNOCKED OUT
ASlDE-SCORES THE
PRINCIPALS

WASHINGTON, Oct 11.-With-
in week of his trial on a Grim
inal conspiracy charge growing
out of the lease of Teapot dome,
Harry F. Sinclair lost in the SUI
preme court Monday his fight to
retain possession of the Teapot
naval reserve in Wyoming.
In ordering the return of the
vast petroleum field to the gov
ernment, the highest court held
that "all the facts and circum-
stances require" finding that the
lease and agreement attending its
transfer were made fraudulently
by means of a collusion and con-
spiracy."
Throughout the opinion, Justice
Butler was severe in his condem-
nation of Fall. Referring to the
$4,000 payment in Liberty bonds
to Fall by Sinclair after the for
mer left the Harding administra-
tion, the court said that obviously
this was mot a straightforward
transaction.
Coming so soon after the sup
Elemental agreement made to per-
feet and carry out the scheme"
Justice Butler added, "it strength
ems and confirms the inference
that Fall had been willing to con-
spire to defraud the United States,
and, taken in connection with the
other circumstances disclosed. it
is persuasive evidence of such
conspiracy between him and Sin
clair"
Reviewing at some length the
and operation of the
Continental Trading company, the
court called attention that $780,
900 in Liberty bonds passed
through that concern and came
finally into the hands of M. T.
Everhart of Pueblo, Colo, Falls
son-in-law, and that Fail received
$4,000 of them and profited from
the proceeds of others.
"The clandestine and unexplain-
ed acquisition of these bonds by
Fall confirms the belief, general
I'd by other circumstances in the
case, that he was a faithless pub
ic officer" Justice Butler declar-
I'd. "There is nothing in the rec
ord that tends to mitigate the sin
