TAWDRY BRIGHT LIGHTS WINK OUTAT WINK Wild Texas Oil Town Tames Down When Rangers Put on Lid. Bu United, Press WINK, Tex., Dec. 21.—Wink’s "White Way” has winked out. Federal prohibition agents and Texas rangers have placed the lid on Wink’s revelry, and what few members of the underworld remained in this mushroom oil boom town in the midst of the Winkler county sand hills stayed under cover. Some predicted under cover a return to the wide-open, riproaring days of last week and earlier. Wink, a few days ago, was a typical oil town. Dance halls ran all night. Liquor flowed freely. The hangers-on who trail all booms plied their various trades with no thought of arrest. Then P. C. (Denver Blackie) Burcham disappeared. He was one of the town’s many colorful characters. After a widespread man hunt “Denver Blackie” was found “twenty miles from nowhere,” almost dead from exposure and a beating. It was noised about the saloons and dance halls that “Denver” had tried to hi-jack a load of liquor from Juarez, Mexico. Whatever happened, Blackie is in jail along with three of his partners. They are held without bond for robbery with firearms, a capital offense in Texas. L. M. Rickie and “Red” Heaton also held are charged with kidnaping and beating Blackie. Furthermore. it appears they will be held for sometime as the regular grand jury does not meet until March. In the raids that followed the r u m-running-hijacking-kidnaping-beating episode, twenty-seven persons, five of them women, were arrested. Ranger John Northcutt, whose organization has the reputation of disposing of “bad men” with little or no ceremony, is patrolling Wink’s one tawdry street. But when Ranger Northcutt leaves and the excitement dies down — Wink’s winkers hope Wink’s lights will wink again.
