KENT COUNTY LIQUOR CASES
Several Arrests for Violating the Local
Option Law in Kent County.

Several Arrests for Violating the Local
Option Law in Kent County.
Dover, July 27:-Joshua Owens,
nearly 70 years old and well-known
farmer, was brought from prison,
where he had spent the night, and,
Chis afternoon, was subjected to an
examination before Magistrate Wood
on the charge of selling intoxicat-
ing liquor in this prohibition county.
Bail in $500 was required pending
the hearing. E. D. Johnson, a
negro was the prosecuting witness
against the white farmer, testifying
to the occasion on which he had
bought the half pint of which Owens
was charged in the warrant with
having sold. The arrest of Owens
was made by Constable Foraker of
Magistrates Woods court. The sum
of $500 bail was required.
The local law and order societies
have now thoroughly frightened the
illict liquor sellers, there being
nearly twenty in prison or under bail
facing sentences at Greenbank work
house. The arrest of Owens occurred
in the country, several miles west
of Dover, and several arrests have
been made in the lower part of Kent
County,. The accused who cannot
furnish the $500 bail required, and
speakeasy bail is extremely scarce,
are committed to prison until the last
of next October, when the new granC
jury shall be empaneled here. Mean
time, about the only liquor nov
obtainable is what is brought in fol
household use by private citizens
and even they are very careful anC
guarded about the distribution o
this.
