THE HOP JOINTS.
More People Smoke Opium Than the
Public are Aware Of.

More People Smoke Opium Than the
Public are Aware Of.
The general public are not aware of
the amount of opium that is smoked in
Ell PasO. People VINO smoke opium do
not let the public know of their frail-
ties. In the winter months the smok-
ing of opium is INDUCED in more than
in the summer months. The police,
the reporters and the nightly FOUNDERS
know these joints and know their ha-
bits, but they do dot feel ike giving
away the names of those who visit
these places and if the pol,cs make q
raid on the hop joints they know that
there is no state law covering the cases
and that if case is appealed it is al
ways dismissed in the upper courts.
Not long since case was brought to
light by rOunder Of q couple of young
girls who were found in one of these
opium joints under the influence of
| hops. They had been carried there by
| a couple of young men who were ha-
| bitues of the place. The ''rounder''
| who told the tale says he saw them en-
ter the joint and shortly afterwar DIS be
| followed to see what was going on. He
| found the two girls lying in a dirty
bunk under the influence of the drug.
The two young men-their escorts
were on another bunk with minds be-
/
prietor of the joint was quietly cooking
opium for his guests, The fumes from
the burning drug left sickeniug smell
in the cellar. The two girls awoke
after awhile with an ashen color on
their faces. They were sick, but when
they saw the rounder standing near by
they began to beg and implore him not
to give them away; that this was their
arst visit to such place and they
would be ruined if he told what he b sd
seen. They also begged him to ge,
them out of The place and send them
home. This he did, ard when the y
reached the street and got breath OF
fresh air they felt better and fully re-
allied the condition they were in and
they begged more pite ously than ever
for the rounder to say nothing about
their escapade.
The FOUNDER hailed a passing hack
and sent them home, while their es.
cOrts were left in the cellar to steer
off the effects of the sickening drug.
These are cases reporters often come
in contact with, but which go unre.
ported to save many otherwise respect.
