Mr.. and Mrs. r. b. Brown of Lon
don township, arrived Saturday from
their winter trip to Arizona, New
Mexico and Texas points. Mr.. Brown
was suffering from lung trouble and
returns much improved. He went
from here in December direct to
Phoenix, Ariz. He did not like it
there. He says he thinks the public
ought 20 know that Phoenix is no
place for invalids, Notwithstanding it
is much advertised as such. The
climate is too damp. He went from
Phoenix to Tucson, where he re-
maiued only short time, preferring
to find a dryer climate. He then
moved on to Ell Paso, Tex, where he
remained several weeks. FL 2asO is a
growing city and delightful place to
live. He was greatly surprised by
the evidences of growth and prosperity
on all sides. His sojourn there was
very pleasant and profitable, mas
much as he was in quest of health.
Mr.. and Mrs. Brown went to oxford
Saturday evening to spend Sunday
with the family of DR.. Melvin Collins
and proceeded Monday to their
farm in London township.

Lee Stearns' joint 10 the Arlington

on South Washington avenue, and II.
ii. Cases joint at the corner OF Lin
cola and Washington avenues, were
raided Saturday afternoon about 5
O'Clock and the proprietors and bar
tenders arrested on warrants sworn
out by City Attorney Harry L. Woods.
Slearns and his bartender, Joe Bass,
colored, will have hearing in police
court Thursday. The trials of Case
aud his son, Lon, are set for Friday.
Dugan and Dick Larkin, his balten-
der, will have hearing Saturday.
Whisky was found in liberal guam
titles in Stearns' and Dugan's places.
In some manner Case got wind of the
raid and made away with his whisky.
He will probably escape prosecution
unless the authorities can prove that
be had been selling whisky. Five or
six bottles Of whisky were found in
Stearns' joint at the Arlington.
About the same quantity of whisky
was found at Dugan's place. Malt
was found in all the places. Dugan
denies that he was handling malt.
He has no city license to sell malt and
it will likely go hard with him.
Neither has he a government license
to sell whisky, and if it is proven on
him that he sold it, Uncle Sam will
likely take a hand in the affair.
The raid on Stearns' joint was made
by Night Marshall John Willard.
Cases place was raided by Constable
Sam Dick and City Attorney Woods.
Dugan's place was raided by Constable
V. d. Atkins and Henry Bowers.
