climbed over the fence which shuts out the
view from the rear and hid till he had spotted
a number OF customers, and then rushed in
behind one of them before the astonished
keeper OF the blind pig could close the sty
door. Besides arresting the proprietor, {.
C.. Smith, he got the names OF fifty patrons
of the place, some of whom are much
ashamed of being caught in such, den.
Smith is out on $3.50 cash bail.
