GARNER ARMORY
FROM SHOOTERS

Chief James Brinn had a veritaole
armory in his possession when mid
night proclaimed the fact that another
independence day celebration had
passed into oblivion. During the day,
when officers caught celebrators firing
revolvers, they conf1scated them, ex-
cept in instances where bullets were
used. In those instances, arrests were
made and fines inflicted.
One youthful offender had a high
time shooting his little bull dog re-
volver and as he knew all of the police
men, he had an easy time evading
the law for awhile. Finally. he bucked
into V. Murphy, city electrician, who
was delegated TO do a little sleuthing
on the case. Murphy jerked the lad
up in such quick manner that he did
not know what had happened till he
was minus his firearms.
