Blind Tigers Galore.
Chief of Police Scott and several
policemen made raid on a house of
i'll fame last night and not only cap
tured the inmates, but complete
blind tiger layout. Besides several
jubs and bottles of whiskey there, a
new kind of prohibition beer crate,
containing six dozen bottles of beer on
ice was seized. This most ingenious
crate has the exact appearance of a
parafine oil shipping can on the out
side.
This morning another raid was
made. and a blind tigers lair was
found on the third story of the build
ing over Gardeners drug store, just
opposite the postoffice and in the most
public and accessible point in the
whole city. Chief Scott says this tiger
has been operating for month, but
it was impossible until last night for
him to obtain evidence sufficient to
make the raid. Ed Aired, white
man, was arrested i'm the room and
placed in the lookup awaiting trial be-
fore the mayor. Besides several two
and three gallon jugs of whiskey
shipped from South Boston and
Happy Patty by express with the
tags still on, addressed to Aired and
his partner, a very large leather grip
was found containing several dozen
bottles of all sizes. This grip was
used regularly by one of the men in
bringing whiskey from Reidsville. The
partner was not arrested as it is said
by the police he had gone to Reds
vile with another grip to bring
fresh installment tonight.
Warrants were served this morning
