Magistrate ellis seized a four-gal-
Ion cask of whiskey Friday from
Mack Watts. notorious blind, or
rather open tiger. He is one of the
gang that ply their dabolical traffic
near Smithville, and Of which your
correspondent there has spoken.
For a long time the people here have
known that den Of tigers existed
in Lee county near the Smithville
line, and no effort has been made to
expose them outside of what your
