DENVER, April 26.—Colorado’3
first company of state constabulary
is making “bootlegging,’* the illicit
traffic in liquor from “wet” Wyom
ing into “dry” Colorado, decidedly un
popular for the “bootlegging mag
nates,” many of whom have become
rich since Colorado went “dry” two
years ago.
“War to the death” on bootlegging
was the order of Colonel Prank Ad
ams, superintendent of the constabu
lary, to the first company when it
took the field on January 7. Already
it has made its effect felt, and whisky
which bootleggers formerly sold in
Denver for $2.50 a pint has jumped
to $3 and $3.50 a pint because of the
added danger to its importation. Doz
ens of men have been arrested, as
many as eleven automc^iil being t
stopped and their occupa^jjsrrested (
in one night. All these ■Umobiles i
carried dozens of case# illicit 1
liquor.
Before the constabulary teelared 1
war and took the field it so was
possible in Denver for wBs: drink- j I
ers to choose their brand, soilentiful j1
was the supply. Now it all classed
as '•bootleg." and those §w> drink
have no choice as to what brad.
One man already is d#tdthrough
action of the constabulary. 4e was
shot near the Wyoming linen Colo- j
rado one night late in Febjfuiy, when|
he refused to halt when onie>d to do
so by a squad of state Boce. He
died a few hours later in a Cteyenne, j
Wyo., hospital.
The man was Ray D. H&rtgan, an ;
automobile man of Denver Harri- j
gan had been arrested prevmsly by;
the Denver police, charged Vjth boot
legging, and was suspected by the
constabulary of ‘‘running" whisky
from Cheyenne to Denver, lowever,
there was no liquor found intis auto
mobile after the shooting. The con
stabulary charge Harrigan vith act
ing on that night as a pilot for an
other machine, and that if he made
it through he would return md tell
he other the coast was clear.
A coincidence of the Harrigan case
vas that less than two weeks later .
.is brother-in-law, in Harrigan’s au
tomobile, was arrested by the same
nembers of the state police within
two miles of where Harrigan was
tilled. This time the automobile car
ded sixty-three gallons of w hisky, ac- j
wording to the squad which made the
irrest.
As soon as the men can ne recruited
there will be four companies of con
stabulary. Each will consist of forty
five men and a captain, lieutenant,
sergeant and two corporals.
But the standards of the service are
high and men are hard to find since
the war was declared by the United
^States on Germany. Most of the mem
bers are former soldiers or sailors,
cowboys, Texas rangers or men who
long have lived in the West. All must
meet the highest mental, physical and
moral requirements.
The constabulary was made possible
through action of the last Colorado
legislature as a war measure, to guard
and police the state during the war.
It is formed on lines similar to the
Pennsylvania state constabulary-, and
its members can be called for duty in
any part of the state.
