The County Prosecuting Attorney

the alleged Illicit sale Of intOxi-
eating liquors in Lincoln County. 4
number Of witnesses were sum
moned before Probate Judge Jones
to give testimony.
SO far as could be ascertained
they were not the habitual pa
irons of the speak easies" that
are supposed to exist, but men Of
standing and influence in the COM
munity who have never coun-
tenanced that sort of an institu-
ton as a necessary evil in the
community. One or two of them
expressed their opinion Of the pro-
ceedine as a bluff on the part of
the accredited prosecuting officer.
who. they thought, should ask
himself some pointed personal
questions if really seeking infOrma-
tion as to the location of speak
easies" in this town.
The hearing was behind locked
doors. according to the orders of
the Prosecuting Attorney.
The effort to keep secret the
inquisition failed. for within a
few hours after the first witness {
was called to the court house the (
facts of what was going on became Z
public.
One Of the knowing ones gave (
the reporter a wink when asked (
about the inquiry. He also vOuch-
safed he information that only
two witnesses had been haled into
the august presence Of the Prose
cutting Attorney. one of them at
least being a man who never knew
the taste of liquor and must know
Very little about its illicit sale.

benefit of the Democrats to con-
