Blind Pigs Again


 Again the "Blind Pigs" have strayed into Imperial, and again has the stern majesty of the law been invoked and the will of the people been enforced. Mrs. Hall was arrested for dispensing liquors con trary to the city ordinance on Thurs day, and had her trial before Recorder Peck and jury. She was found guilty by the jury and recommended to the leniency of the court. These are the people whom the editor of the whiskey paper claimed were immune from arrest as they were holding receipts from the city marshal for money paid by them for being permitted to run a "Blnd Pig" It has been bawled by the booze element that the enforcement of the prohibtory ordinance was only Gin spots." That certain ones, and among them Hall, were paying the city mar shal for protection, and the prosecutions were merely for the purpose of keeping out others and protecting the favored ones in monopoly of the "Blind Pig" business. This arrest and conviction, and the further prosecution of Hall gives the lie direct to this pretense of the boOZemen.

that Pegram Dargan, brother, bought
the poison, went to the Office with his

with him until he died. He stood by
and saw his brother take the poison and
after he died he called a physician.
Pegram Dargan, however, was not

Greenville Well Shackled.

A recent issue of the Greenville News
contained the following story:
Some rather interesting informa-
tion about the convict system of Green
vile was brought out yesterday while
the special investigating committee,
which is looking into the financial af-
fairs of the county, had a witness un-
der examination. The witness was
Rowley j. Smith, the blacksmith. 1t
was found that during the year 1904
Smith made 384 pairs of shackles, the
cost of which ranged from 1925 to
So. SO pair. Smith began this work in
1901, and the earlier charges were fif-
teen cents pair. Experts say that
these chain contrivances for holding
prisoners can be made at a profit at ten
cents a pair. The total amount of the
Smith claim for 1904 was 81, $50, and it
was not a good year for shackles at
that
"The committee is Investigating what
it considers eXhorbitant claims and it
was found that many of those present
ed by Smith had been approved by the
board of county commissioners, a num-
ber being held by merchants who have
not been paid
"This is not all of the work which
will be brought before the limelght. >"
