Their Keepers Have Grown Cautious
About Sale of Liquor.

The police visited several of the
places known to have been joints this
morning. but found nothing stronger
than hop ale"
The jointists have evidently made
good their threat to quit selling intox-
icants for awhile, and give the police
time to investigate the drug stores.
Some of the force however, think that
a few joints could be found by looking
in the right places and they know what
they are talking about. They say that
all jointists are dishonest to each other
as well as the public. and that if the
Clan" ordered them all closed for a
certain length of time. some of them
would sell anyway. taking it for a GOOD
chance to monopolize the trade and
