Our mayor, the Hon. John T. Rod
dey, has endeavored since the begin
ming OF his administration to rid the
city of lawlessness in all forms, but
has specially directed his attention 70
the blind tiger and pistol toter giving
them the limit every time and making
things so warm that these offenders
have very materially decreased. Inc
board of stewards of st. John M. \,
church at their last meeting passed
resolutions commencing him warmly
for his zeal and determination In up
holding the law. A card published In TO-
days Record, Mayor Roddey thanks the
BODY mentioned for their kind express
sions and ends his card with this ex-
preston: "I want you to know that l
consider your public expressions as 10
law, order and justice highly commen-
dable. Many may think, yet lack the
moral courage or do not think IL neces-
sary to openly express their teeIlngs
to the people. The real sentiment OF
every community governs that comlnu-
nity, notwithstanding all arguments to
the contrary.
The stock of the two new banks to

LIQUOR seizure of rather unusual
character was made here by Constaoles
Jenkins and Whitmire. Tom Murray,
the driver Of the express wagon was
suspected Of collusion in the matter OF
smuggling out Of the office packages
of booze shipped to fictitious person
ages and the constables were on the
watch for him. When the 1885 tram
from the north came In the constaples
saw Murray load up the wagon 10 orlVe
to the back of the express once 10 uh,
load. On his return for another load
he got out of the back lot In the rear
of an establishment where there hao
been LIQUOR seized before, and taking
a box from the wagon ran TO TINS
building and was in the act or de-
positing his package when the consta-
bIes stepped out from the darkness ano
nabbed him. The box which contained
twenty-five pints of corn was conslgn-
ed to a name not known here. II was
duly entered on the books or the eX
press agent but he did not know tnat
his driver had failed to deposit 1t with
the rest of the first load of express.
The latter managed to either leave the
box on the wagon or else slipped II
hack when he started back for the
depot. Murray claimed when arrested
that he was acting under orders from
other parties but when brought TO trlal
he plead guilty and was fined $lOO or
80 days. He paid up.
