vestigate the alleged gambling and other
violations of the law along the conduit

disregard of the law, but the violations
were never so numerous or bold as now

where liquor of all kinds can be had by
any one with the price, notwithstanding
the existence Of a local option law. This
state of affairs. it is understood, has aroused
much Indignation throughout the county.
