AFTER WHISKY VIOLATORS
The League Was Quietly Organ
lied Several Weeks Ago and
Has Been Getting Under Way
Without Much Noise, and First
Attracted Attention in Raids
Last Week.

Strange as it may seem, a law and
order league is again in operation IN
Newport, and working quietly The
league, which it is stated has been in
the making for several months now
has membership of three score de-
termined men, who assert that they
are going to drive from Newport the
men, who they assert, are violating
the prohibition and liquor laws of the
state.
A revival which has been in progress
at the Southern Methodist church, il
is said, has given these law enforce.
ment people new life, and they are be.
ginning to make themselves felt, and
they first showed their hand last
Thursday, when the soft drink empo-
rum of Floyd j. McMahan was raid
ed and officers of the law made a
search of the premises, finding, SO it is
claimed, four barrels of empty beer
bottles, 3s pints of apple brandy, one
ice shaver, one claw hammer, 292 bot
Ties of soft drinks, one lemon squeezer,
four lots of cigars, one half box of TO-
bacco, one dinner bell, one cash regis
ter and two water buckets.
Just what use could be had for water
buckets in such place was not ex-
planned, and the dinner bell too, SEEM
ed to be out of place, and after seizing
the property, the officials proceeded to
advertise it for sale, and McMahan
was taken before Justice of the Peace
and held under bond for court. 1t is
said that he had government license,
which gave the officers the tip.
Highly elated with the first Of theil
raids, the law enforcement league of.
iicials decided on Friday to try anoth.
er raid and this time they entered the
meat market of German & Cliff, with
the impression that this place was
used for storing strong drinks, and the
warrant so charged them, but the Of
ficers after diligent search were only
able to discover something over two
gallons on the premises and as this
did not violate any law, the officers
had to back out with an apology?
At any rate, the law and ordel
league is fact, and it is at work, and
it remains to be seen whether they will
be able to better local conditions
which have for a long time been dis
graceful, or whether they, TOO, will
kill off just the little peddler and LEI
the real violators Of the law get away
under cover. The little fellow has beer
the goat for this prohibition law al
the way through, here and in the cit
les and ii is hoped that the law ant
order Gro xd will show no discrimina
tion in their campaign.
