THE GEARY BOOSTER, JANUARY 31, 1913
Leach Enforces the Law
City Marshal Leach engaged
another buijch of alleged viola-
tors of the prohibition law this
week. Lafe Ogan is charged
with forgery in receiving whisky
shipments under an assumed
name and Thurman Packer and
Wm. Evans are charged with
being parties to the conspiracy.
John Donnell was also arrested
as party to the conspiracy, but
it is claimed that he is innocent
of any wrong intent, as he was
merely asked to identify Ogan,
which he did without being
aware of the details of the case.
The four were taken to Wa-
tonga where Ogan, Packer and
Donnell were released on $750.00
bonds and Evans, who was un-
able to give bond was remanded
to jail io await trial. Marshal
Leach is to be commended for
enforcing the laws. It is the
duty of a police officer to enforce
the laws as he finds them. Hd
does not make the laws and is in
no way responsible for them—
wave in the matter of enforce-
ment. The officer who places
his own interpretation on the
laws and then enforces them ac- j
cording to his own personal de-j
sires and beliefs, is not a good '
officer and his leniency will in
tune most certainly recoil upon
his own head.
The big majority of law-abid-
ing citizens want the laws we
have enforced and that is what
Leach is doing.
In all probability none of the
parties interested in the case had
any criminal intent but have evi
dently gotten crosswise with the
law.
Fish? Certainly we have fish.
Try them—Paden's Little meat

the wall. The plaintiff alleges
that the bank was in a sinking
condition at the time he purchas-
ed the stock and seeks to recover
the amount paid. The decision
will be rendered by Judge Tol-
bert the latter part of this week.
Stough Case Postponed
The of Axel Anderson vs. Dr.
Stough, damage suit in the dis-
trict court, which was to have
come up this week at Watonga,
has been postponed until the fall
term of court, due we presume to
the crowded condition of the
present docket.

county seat Wednesday in con-
nection with the case: Messers.

Harsh, Georg Matthews. George

and Mr. Critchfield.
They Came Back
Frank Ryel and Frank Wosi-
ka went down into Arkansas
last week for the purpose of buy-
ing some land. They landed at
Mena and spent a few hours
looking around and were unable
to decided which side of the land
would be best for farming (for
be it known that that part of
Arkansas is mostly up and down)
so they gave it up and took the
next train back home. They
think Blaine county will suit
them for some time yet.
