The Yakima herald. [volume] (North Yakima, W.T. [Wash.]) 1889-1914, 1893-11-23

Decemp-r Deputy Marshals Mcguire and
Wills, with nun eruus assistants, will
take from the Yakima county jail be-
tween 40 and 81 prisoners whom they
have arrested and bound over on the
charge OF selling whiskey to Indians.
This Is the second batch Of prisoners
taken from North Yakima for the offense
Of Illicit whiskey traffic this fall. The
public may judge from this Of the extent
OF the business Of that character carried
on in this community. And 1t is occa-
sion for surprise that. with all these ar
rests, the hobos continue to pursue their
unhoiy work. Deputy Wills has lately
found it not much more difficult to arrest
these scalawags than formerly, although
the diminution in the traffic has begun
to appear. There were times during the
past summer and fall when life at night
on the public highways out Of town was
absolutely in peril, and the wonder 10
that greater loss and trouble were not re-
allied. The watch has been closely kept
and the work exceedingly well done. II
it be continued with an equal degree Of
faithfulness we may soon hope 10 see the
dangerous business wholly abandoned I;
but it will not do to relax the warfare
against these thieving marauders at this
time, for they will begin again their out
rageous habit with new vigor and assur-
ance. This work shonld have been for
years past. Drunkenness among the In
dams has come to be q terrible menace to
life and property In this vicinity and it is
only by vigilant watch and severe per-
Torrance OF duty that ii can be discour-
aged. U. s. Marshal Drake is to be COM
plimented on the incentive he has offered
for efficient work in this district. Deputy
U. S. Marshal Vinson has kept keen
eye on this portion Of his field and much
OF the work has been done under his able
direction. Deputy NJ. G. Wills has prov
en- the most efficient, faithful and active
sub-officer in the field and his valuable
service is matter of record in the local
courts A few men like Clip Wills wonld
soon destroy this traffic altogether--a con
summation devoutly to be wished for.
