about four million of the coupon bonds

John Fl. Hall, James Hall. Stuart Pence
and William Childress, all OF Basic City,
or yesterday, charging theKi with selling
)iGcor illegally in this city. The Baldwin
Detective Agency was employed to break
up this gang. About FebcIury | one of
the men, "Mr. Jones'" turned up at
this point as collector for the Davis Sew
ing Machine Company. 1fle weather be-
ing bad he could not do mach collecting,
but he played pretty good game Cf pool,
and AS the Halls run pool rooms Mr..
Jones spent considerable time and money
around this place.
Joan Hall was doing "a much larger
business than his brother James, and Mr.
Jones, of course spent the better part of
his tune there. lie had no tronble in
buying all the liquor he wanted, in fact,
he could rot drink al he bought, so
naturally called III IL number of his ac-
Huaint;lnces whom he had met. Every.
thing moved along nicely until Tuesday
morning, when the other Two detectives
turned up in Basic.
"Mr. Jones', vito wa. afterwards
found to be Mr.. Felix's, invited these gen.
tlcmen over To his friends to ste him
drink. After obtaiuing all the evidence
TO make the conviction tke detectives
swore ont warrants for the two Halls,
Fence and Childress. While one OF the
policemen was reading the warrant to

saloon. Mr.. Hall asked the lsolicernaR to
excuse him and walked into n rear room

About twenty five of the citizens of
Basic were witnesses. 1t seems from the
Testimony that almost any one with the
moneT could buy whiskey on Sunday or
any other day. Several minors were
witnesses and swore chat they had no
trouble in buying whiskey of the Halls.
James Hail. Pence and Childress gave
bond III sum double the amount of the
fines and cost John Hall has not as yet
given bond, and will be sent to Jail at
Staunton.
The mayor, backed Ivy the best citizens
of Basic and Waynesboro, is determined
to prosecute liquor sellers to the bitter
end, and it will be pretty hard to get /.
drink in either Waynesboro or Basic for
the next four months.
The citizens of this county have formed
an anti-liquor league and intend to break
up the iieVal selling of liquor in this
county.
