SPRINGFIELD, BACA COUNTY, COLORADO. FRIDAY,OCTOBER 20, 191)
FROM DRY
TERRITORY.
> Booiletitjcrs Being Pulled.
From Cimarron News.
Lately the county attorney and
sheriff have been giving the
bootleggers a rue for their mon
, ey and it is now very dry in Cim
arron county exceedingly dry,
phew! Last week and this, the
court of inquiry has been in al
> mo t constant session trying to
. get a line on the dispenser of
* “the spirits that, cheer” in Boise
City but up to this writing there
have been no arrests.
Monday Frank Watson of Ken
ton was arrested by Deputy
Sheri If Moon of that place and
brought to the countv seat and
arraigned before Judge Pugh.
He was held under SSOO cash
bond to await the further pleas
ure of the court. Since then He
Mas been indicted on four other
charges of bootlegging, but we
have not heard what arrange
ments he has made with regard
to bonds in those cases. He
must have done a flourishing
I business if he has the kale seed
;to put up the same amount on
leach count. Judge Pugh and
| Attorney Butts went to Kenton
Wednesday to hold an inquisi
tion, and there is a possibility of
more arrests. The action of the
officials is meeting with the
hearty approval of the citizens
both here and at Kenton. Sen
timent is considerably aroused
against the bootleggers on ac
count of the death of Albert
Jones there recently, and they j
are lending the officials every
assistance.

WONDERFUL
NEW COLOR.
A Great Dry Land Crop.
From Farm and Ranch.
On the Burton Smith home
stead south of Chivington is be
ing tried a crop new to this reg
ion, called shallu. There is about i
an acre of it and it is making a
remarkable heavy yield even in j
this very dry year. It is esti-l
mated there will be 20 to 30 bu.
per acre when threshed out, and
it will also furnish a great quan
tity of fodder for stock feed, the
stalks standing very thick on the
ground and having many leaves
commencing close to the ground
and reaching to the top. It looks
like this will be a splendid dry
land crop in this region.
THE ROBBER TARIFF
Haven’t you heard
that ali your life?
We have -and moreover
we have observed that
it is a “bugaboo” to
divert our attention
in that direction while
we were being robbed in
Isome other manner
Now we have no
“TEXAS FREIGHT RATE”
but we do pretend to buy
our Lumber right, and you
know the old saying
“Goods well bought are
half sold.”
A good fair grade of
White Pine boards will
i cost you only $25.00
per thousand at our yard
in Holly, and its lighter to
haul, easier to work, and
will give better satisfac
tion all around than
“TEXAS HARD PINE”
Ask our many satisfied
customers around Baca Co.

■ “Prof. Raker”, the teacher, has
] come and gone;
Arid now its a question oi\
I whom the joke is on.
If joke there is in it, on the j
boys it must be,
With no cost attaching, as all |
jokes are free.
Woman like, Prof. Baker
couldn’t keep a secret. At the
end of a week the ‘schoolmaster” j
! was known to be a woman, and i
l so Boston is now without a teach- j
|er. Prof. Baker says that the!l
i detectives have been on her trail
I for seven years. “He” held a
ninety-seven percent certificate
taken out in Denver county, th s
state. The professor says sue
isn’t through with Baca Go. —
that she’s coming back, notwith
standing that the board unwisely I
■ gave her $25 to stay away.
Prof. Baker was a little of
everything—doctor, actress, mu
sician, magician, master of lan
guages, shorthand reporter, and
things otherwise. But sue didn’t 1
know that Baca Co. could sport
a regularly ordained and licensed
professor of “hypnolojry”, in the
person of Prof. William inomas
Couch, A. M. It was your uncle
William who made a few passes
over and said a few cooing- words
to Prof. Baker and had her hyp
notised, and thereby made ‘him’
give away some valuable secrets
such as being married and hav
ing two children - -boy and girl.
Any old time that other im
portant communities are in need
of sensations they can get them
“handed down” or “made to
order” by applying to Boston,
guaranteed not to rip nor to run
down at the heel.
Two Buttes Couple

Geo. Noel rlawkins and Cloe
Inez Pendarvis W-irk united in
marriage at the M. E. Parsonage
on Wednesday. Oct. 18. 1911, by
Rev. Wilkinson.
The young people are well and
favorably known at Two Buttes.
The Herald joins their many
friends in extending best wishes.
