RAIDED!
The Elkton Jungles Raided and
Five Blind Tigers Found.
LOTS OF "sTUFF" CAPTURED.

The Appeal this week gives the
following account of raids on a
number of "blind-tigers" in and
near Elkton:
Sheriff Biddle, Deputy Sheriff
McAllister and other specials made
a tour of the ':jungles," late on
Saturday night and early Sunday
morning. They corralled five pro.
prietors or managers of "joints"
and confiscated enough beer and
hard stuff to stock a saloon.
The biggest haul was made at
Walter Moore's alias "Jelly's," at
the head of Paradise alley, where a
fine stock of bottled beer and red
liquor was found. "Jelly" had
made himself scarce or rather, it is
said, had gone to meet late con-
signment and was tipped off in time.
He was seen later on the Glasgow
road making for Delaware.
Another resort visited was Mary,
better known as "Mame" Dorsey's
in Gashouse Alley. Fred Hol-
lands, in Bells Lane, was also
raided and the proprietor landed
in jail. Another ranch on the
Plank road run by Horace Gar
rison, was later overhauled. 1t
was we'll stocked, and the pro-
prietor stood to do a good days
business on Sunday as camp meet
ing was on just above his ranch,
and there would have been no lack
of patrons among those attending
who were spirituously rather than
spiritually inclined. Another vic
tim was Robert Bowen alias
"Curly," and Robert Watson, alias
Google was also bagged. All the
parties are colored. Two bushel
bags of bottled beer, about seven
gallons of red liquor and about two
gallons of wine were lsecured and
taken to the Jail.
Charles White, colored, was col
Jared on leaving the midnight train
and hustled to Jail, where his grip
was turned inside out in search for
liquor but, it is said, none was
found.
