Will BUILD ROADS

Steve Moncyh and Paul Justice, the
former an Assyrian, and the latter an
American, were arrested on Indian
Creek, near the tunnel last Saturday
by a posse composed of Sheriff Har-
man, deputy sheriff Bandy; r. M.
Russell and A. A. Mcconnell and
were brought to Tazewell County
Jail, and tried on Monday before Mag
istrate CT. Percy, who fined Mon ych
$500, and the fine not being paid he
was given its equivalent, 18 months
on the roads. Justice was released, the
evidence not being sufficient to hold
him. The men were charged with sell
ling whiskey without proper license.
Thirty odd empty crates of beer, and
a small amount of whiksey was found
on the premises where the men were
caught.
1t is the intention of the authorities,
with the cooperation of the officers
stationed on Indian Creek, to stamp
out this illegal sale of whiskey, which
has doubtless been the cause of the
recent murders in that section.
