Ran Saloon on Wheels. -The local
option laws of Montgomery county, Md,
forbid the sale OF liquors. Some enterpris-
ing hucksters from the District of Columbia
who gather produce from the county are
said TO have been making practice OF TAX
ing whisky and other liquors from Wash
ington and selling it to farmers in the dry"
territory. The county officials have been
watching the movements of these hucksters
of late, and last week Deputy Sheriff E T.
Brown, of Spencerville, Md, secured enough
evidence against John Burgess, colored, to
warrant his arrest
Yesterday Deputy Brown came to this
city and located Burgess at Eighth and N
streets north west, where he keeps an oyster
saloon. A warrant was sworn out, charg
ing Burgess with being fugitive from jus
tice in Maryland, and Officer Barbee, OF the
Eighth Precinct, was detailed To make the
arrest Burgess was found at his place OF bust
ness, and was taken to the Eighth Precinct
station. He had in his possession nearly
$500. After seaching the prisoner, Barbee
turned him over to Deputy Sheriff Brown,
who took him to Montgomery county.
The Deputy Sheriff, in speaking OF the
liquor traffic in his county, said that Bur
CESS had been in the business nearly four
years, and though he had been suspected for
some time, no case had been made against
him. He believed he will be able to secure
a conviction, however, in the present case
Wash Post of Friday.
Burgess has not been brought here to Jail,
and it is supposed he has given security for
his appearance at the next term Of the Cir
cult Court.
