TIGERS Claws Clipped.

The cambridge Search Light Of last
week said "There was something in "A
new line in the city court. II was the
trial of one John X Brown, a Greek
fruit vender, who was accused of run

selling liquor without law and license.

telligent and upright citizens, and
John Brown was proven guilty without

Asnegro charged with selling liquor at
Iron City fast Sunday running a Blind
Tiger plead guilty to the charge, and
got II months IN the chain gang

In placing these penalties, Judge Har-

Blind Tigers, and intended TO extermi-
nate all who came before him In eases

they could not possibly grow out and be
dangerous 20 the peace and good order
