MANAGER IS
 INDICTED Country Club Officer Served with Warrant. THE MANAGER IS ARRESTED Club Contends That No Law Has
 Been Violated. Mensger InsaIls Was Arrested On In- l-siictments Returned by Grand Jury Charssas Violation of the
 Prohibition Law.

John M Ingalis as Manager of the Country Club. was yesterday morning arrested by sheriff Hood on an indict- nient returned by the late session of the grand jury on the charge of sell ing liquor without a license. MT. In- gals made bond of $20o for his appear ance in the City Court.
 Will Jackson. said to be waiter, was also indicted. It was reported that Secretary Leon Jackson had been inc dicted. but this Is said to be a mis- take as the indictment was against Will Jackson.
 The arrest grows out of the fact that the Country Club is situated outside of the corporate 1imits of the city and in the county, which Is prohibition, and for which license to sell liquor can not be granted under the law. The club. however. did secure a license from the United States Government, and on this disposed of liquor to members.
 For some time past there have been rumors that the club would be indicted for selling liquor in prohibition dia- trict, and President Joseph said yester- day that the selling of liquor was stopped when this rumor was called to the attention of the members.
 The Country Club is composed of about 200 members. including some of the most prominent business and pro- sessional men of the city. The club house is admirably appointed and the golf links are said to be one of the finest in the South. The club is one of the noted social organizations of the S0uth.N
 When the announcement was made yesterday that the club had been in- dicted there was much surprise among the members, who assert that the club is a club and nothing else and the H. duor disposed of there was passed out only to members of the organization.
 The action the Country Club will take the matter will be determined af- ter a conference with attorneys which ,nxill hA Anaa aed.
