CHASING TIGERS.
The Dispsnsary Authorities Get
ting Busy in Charleston.
AUDITOR WEST BUSY

Getting Out Injunctions to Stop the
Sale of Illicit Booze in the City by
the Seattle Isle of Palms Per-
manently and Other Places Tenn.
p~orarily Enjoined.-Blind Tigers
Are Surprised But Not Worried.
A dispatch from Charleston to The
State says Auditor w. B. West ar
rived in Charleston Thursday morn
ing with a bundle Of injunctions
from the supreme court, and hasten
ing to the sheriff's Office, placed them
in the hands Of an officer for service
on the Charleston hotel, the Argyle
hotel. the Occidental cafe, the Schuet-
zenplatz and the proprietors of the
isle of Palms. All Of these places
of business have been restrained
from selling intoxicants, the Isle OF
palms permanently, and the other
four temporarily.
Rumor coming along with Mr.
West says that a hundred or TWO
more of these temporary in1unctlons
are bound Charlestonward to be ser
red on all places where liquor Is san
tn he sold, the revenue license llst
furnishing a basis for service anu
that Charleston will also have at an
ear,y date a force of c~onstables, to Dc
Maid nv the county dispensary board
To enforce the dispensary law rigidiyi.
The coming of Mr.. West to Cnar-
lesion and the closing of the cares
of the hotels, restaurant, and at tne
s~cbutzenplatz have naturally thrown
the city in a state Of tense excite
ment. The injunction proceedings
we're made up of a petition for a
temporary Injunction, the order OF
Temporary injunction on affidaVlts
which have been made out by agents
of the auditor and through his per-
sonal work.
The blow struck is a natural con-
sequence of the success attending the
efforts of Auditor West to close the
Isle of Palms cafe permanently.
From the outlook at present every
cafe and club in the city and every
other place where liquor is sold Will
be similarly closed. .
In the five sets Of papers served
all the owners and the cafe managers
were reached. A Mr.. Crueton, said. to
be the future chief constable for
this county, has been In, the city Tor
a couple of weeks at work getting
evidence. He accompanied the sher-
IFS officer in the service Of the pa
pers. A few days ago a copy of the
permanent injunction against the Isle
of Palms cafe was filed In the office
of the clerk Of court and along with
service of the permanent injunction
papers came also the unexpected
temporary injunction proceedings.
