DRIVEN FROM ZION

Criminal Statistics of Now

nishcd facts and figures that demon
strates more conclusivcly than any wealth
Of language could tho fact that Chief OF

Lake City: that with the Punishment OF
the gam bling fraternity and kindred spir-
Its. human life and property is once more
safe. Let the record. taken from police
headquarters, speak for Itself.
