CAPTURED
AND FINED
J. D. Shaver Finds
Cattle Importation
Improbable

J. D. Shaver, of Franklin Co., was
tried at Nashville Oct. 12, and fined
800 and costs for bringing cattle into
Marion County from Alabama in vio-
lation of the U. S. Qual entine laws.
Shaver, who is resident of Frank
lin Co., Tenn, bought some cattle in
Alabama, and brought them to this
county for sale. AS Marion was under
quarantine regulations this was an in
fringement of U. s. Quarantine regu-
lations and steps we're Immediately ia
ken to have the man arrested. He
caught on to what was up, however,
and fled, and has been evading arrest
for more than year until captured
by one of Uncle Sans sleuths near
Anderson, Tenn. He was taken to
Nashville for trial, where F. NJ. Nc
Cullough, of Jasper, Hute Northcut
and Bud Russell, of Whitwell, this
county, appeared as witnesses Shay
or submitted his case, and was fined
800 and costs, which aggregated about
P~oo' W. IL uO udu SOHO w Illui WIN
the proof so clear against him, upon
conviction heavy sentence of from
thEee to ten years in the penitentiary
would have been the outcome.
The Government means business in
this quarantine proceedings, and those
who infract regulations will be severe
ly punished. Those who have felt the
force of Uncle Sans laws in this re-
spect find that he is not to be trified
with, and while Shaver eluded officers
for while, it was only matter of
time until he was captured and tried.
The county is now above the quaran
tine line, but cattle from infected dis
tricts cannot be brought into it, and
violation of the law means summary
punishment.

The Y. M. H. Assn. is busy this

and he feels that the noble, Assoeia-

mother, sister or sweetheart, of a
member. than ali other contempor-
airy aspirants for the library. They
gained a lap on the Grammar school
last week, and at this stage of The
game, position is a big satisfaction
and Its a mighty struggle each and
every day for supremacy. The school
lost first place last Monday but the
three big mes were SO close that a
good squirt by either may wrest it
away from the Association. There Is
one sure thing-it takes work and
the right sort to do 1t. The friends

the library. This spirit, however,
seems to prevail throughout the
ranks of each contestant. Everyone
realizes that only a few days remain
and increased activity Is visible ev-
e~rywhere.
This lis much In evidence at the
Evening News office In the increas-
ing numbers Of new subscriptions
that ava anp,t,N IL Eaol Qat,pIox
night finds an increase over the Sat
total of votes will roll out the last
day.
Another item which is spelling a
big word is the laundry slip from
the Raritan Laundry. A certain
bunch of workers, realizing that
these slips can be held In reserve,
and voted the last day, are working
this feature to a %standstfll. They
have passed the word to every mem

taken to the Raritan Laundry, and
to " all the laundry slips Il be
turned over to a special committee
appointed to look after this alone.
Somebody is due a surprise the last
day. The contest man has seen a
big market basket full of these slips
come In and prove to be the balance
of power winning the library. Not
only this feature, but all features
should be looked after at this crit
ical stage. The voting at the Lyric
Theatre Is one Of them, and the vot-
ing since the Red Letter days has
been extremely heavy. II you were
out hunting for ducks you would
blaze away with both barrels at any
old duck, no matter what the color

MUST OBEY THE Law.

Once 0 Judge Lyon has shown
bis determination to enforce the cx-
else laws In this county. seldom be-
fore has Middlesex been so free from
law-breaking and defiance of all au-
thority, as since the present Judge
has been on the bench.
No longer is the county disgraced
with numerous murders and crime of
various descriptions. Many of the
dens where lawlessness was hatch
ed have been wiped out of existence,
and the liquor dealers who still do
business are having it made very
plain to them that if they want to
continue they must obey the law.
Every citizen who believes in de-
cency and order will sustain Judge
Lyon in the action he has taken In
these excise affairs. The Middlesex
county bench cannot now be used az
a whip for political purposes. A
mans license today depends on the
Kind OF place he keeps and
whether or not he conducts 1t in a
legal manner. No influence or
pulp can save the lawbreakers un-
der the present regime.
As long as the liquor business Is
licensed In this state and is conduct
ed under the present laws, there is
no attempt made to wipe 1t out of
existence. IT IL made evident, how
ever, that. the business must be con-
Quoted properly, the same as any
other business. II evidence is pro-
duced that 1t is not, the proprietor
must suffer the consequences.
Middlesex county owes a great
deal to Judge Lyon for the fearless
manner In which he has handled
these excise cases. We know 1t
would be gratifying to 4 great num-
Der of people If he should be reap
pointed to the bench for a full term.
