destroyed and the buggy and team
will be coRfscated and sold one-halt
OF the proceeds to 20 to the govern
ment and the other half TO the in
former. This new law. which is be-
ing put into effect by "Whlskey
Johnson, is likely TO have marked
effect upon bottleggers. Under II
any person caught selling liquor in
Indian Territory is liable TO have the
property I'm which the liquor Is found
confscated. One-half OF this goes 10
the person who furnishes the infor-
nation that there Is bootlegging go

across the country and he wants 20
get some money, all he has to do Is
to tip the officers of and get hall

This will make catching bootleggers
more profitable than bootlegging. and
