OUR RUOTLE6GERs.

The people OF Hickman find much
cause for congratulation in the verdicts
rendered by three different juries in AZ
many cases against Murphy and Perry.
the bootleggers, which were tried Tues
day. In each instance the defendants
were found guilty as charged ana the
the full limit OF the law handed them.
The aggregate penalties assessed against
tins pair of "Mayfield innocents" are,
for Murphy. 800 and costs and ten days
in iail for, Perry. 900 and costs. These
men have been found guilty of violating
with IMMUNITY nearly every provision
OF the local option law. They have sold
beer IN less than five-gallon lots. have
sold il TO minors, have sold it on Sun
day. have allowed it TO be drunk upon
the premises, have run a disorderly
house, have permitted gambling upon
eral bootlegging business in the sale of
whiskey-or what is more rightfully
+ termed booze. IL is evident that Muir
ply. who is lovingly called 1.-THE king of
bootleggers" by the people to whom he
is known. had no intention of conduct
ing legitimate business when he sc
cured his license, his sole object being
TO gather in the shekles. regardless of
law or the wishes of the people. He has
not only violated the Law at will but
when demonstrated with by some Of the
more prominent citizens. lie snapped his
fingers in their faces as a token of his
regard for the law. laughed at the Off
GERS and otherwise displayed de.
PRAYED mind and disreputable character.
Thepeopls became highly incensed at
such brazen effrontery. utter disregard
for the Law, and bulldozing methods,
and he, together with his partner. was
arrested on several charges. with res ults
as above stated.
"Wednesday Murphy was taken to
Mayfield. as told in another column. but
before he left il said TO have declared
that he intended to return here 20 carry
ON the business he so suddenly left. IL
remains To be seen whether this notO
rious law-breaker can continue 10 ply
his nefarious traffic in the very heart OF
our boasted civilization. Haunting his
crimes with brsggadocio before The
eyes Of an outraged pOpulace. in spite
of law and the Will of the people Our
private opinion is that the king OF boot
leggers ~ ''monkeying with life-sized,
animated buzz saw when he attempts
TO bluff the people .of this good Town,
dealing with men who tolerate no CON-
promise with dishonor-or bootleggers-
the sooner will he discover that some
other field offers less opposition to erin
inals of his stripe. He has declared that
he will not be run out of Hickman, but
ii ne returns here aud resumes his old
methods, he may be glad to get away
at good walking speed before the officers
of the law get through with him.
WhIie Perry has been found equally
guilty with Murphy. yet he is young at
the game, and it is believed that he has
a desire to quit this most degrading
business. embark in some calling more
honorable, and become an upright citi-
zen. For this reason orr remarks are
directed solely at Murphy. who is the
instigator of the lawless methods used,
and responsible, in moral sense. for
all the trouble.

to the south of the city, where much
basaltic rock would be encountered.
Furthermore. by building near the
pumping station thousands Of dollars
would be saved in the cost of pipe.
ut is agreed that the reservoir
could be built and the pipes bought
and laid at a cost of 100000 by util-
izing the up-river site. This is nearly
$4,000 less than the estimated cost
Of a reservoir and pipes leading from
the hillside. The original cost of a
reservoir and pipes to supply the
south side Of town would be $500, 900.
An additional sum Of $4,000 would
have been required to pipe the North
Side.
