A CLEAN SWEEP
IN THE CITY COURT BEFORE
JUDGE FULLILOVE.
THE GUILTY CONVICTED
Satisfactory Results Obtained from the
Violators of Prohibition Law Through
Efforts of Chief Allen and Moral Sup
port of Committeeman Dandy.

Th old adage referring to the calf IN
pastures green, give him rope enough
and he will entangle himself" may be
applied to some men having contempt
for the prohibition law.
For several weeks, at least since the
adjournment of the Grand Jury and the
courts, and the apparent indifference OF
the pros, the saloonists have been run
ming on the high gear and i'll some in
stances with defiance bold and reckless.
In the meantime the pros have not been
asleep. They have been sitting UP and
taking notice.
1t was somewhat startling to saloon
lists when they realized that nine indl-
vidl1als had been arrested, some on sew
eral charges, for violation of the prohl-
bition law. Of the number is w. H.
Davis, tried and convicted Tuesday,
which was unexpected by the saloon
element.
In these cases District Attorney Fos-
ter represented the State and City At
torney Buler prosecuted for the city
The cases called for Tuesday and
postponed until today were taken UP in
their order and convicted and sentenced
as follows:

DAYS, and six months on the public road
Lindenbaum is the man who was con
victed several months since. His con
tempt for the law was manifested de
family. There was aroused for him
sentiment which was ridiculous Ihi
being his second offense and being a
deliberate as it was insolent in his de
fance, he has been given six months
There can be no sympathy for such
man. He had promised to be good ar
lie alone is accountable for his trans
gression. The case was appealed; bon
fixed at $3.50.

For having insulted a lady and he
daughter in their homes as if they we
prostitutes, Henry ]. Casey was sci
Q fenced to pay fine TO the city of SEQ {
20 days, and for the State six montl
on the public roads.
THE MORAL SUPPORT.
a For a while it was manifest, at lea
apparently, that the strong arm of Il
,o police was inactive in the enforceme1
: of the law against the law-breakir
,3 saloons. The city administration, i
ID cluding the police authorities. were cri
: cised for such inaction. Since then t
g law4breakers had become SO fragrant
ID their boldness that a blind man cou
not be deceived. The results accol
plished in the conviction of the m
IT. who were tried this morning in The G
10 Court is due to the efforts of Chief
!. Police Allen, who had the moral ST
:. port of Joseph Darnbly, chairman Of
10 police committee.
20 The police had the assistance of +
ID detectives, E. A. Sutton, whose motf
is a resident of Shreveport, and
Clark Jett, who recided in Shrevep'
- for years before removing to VIII
,oz field, and who has considerable expe
oI ence about railroads and the doings
o men generally
o The evidence of these two men Y
o direct and clear. They could not be
I0l tangled in eross-examination
