COUNTY OFFICERS
 DO GOOD WORK

T. J. Eakins and Chas. E. Mur- ray, deputy Sheriffs, together with M. c. Smith, deputy Sheriff of Williams. made an important arrest of one of the local boys the first of last week, after a foot race of several blocks.
 A shipment of red liquor ar rived in Williams from out of the state and was waiting at the de- pot to be taken out to slack the thirst of all who are onto the job. Officer Murray was not known to the person who was directed to receive the shipment and when it was loaded up they followed it as fast as possible until it was unloaded and the arrest followed. It was believed by the officers that the shipment was for a fc- ticious person, in as much as he was not known to any person in Williams, not even the person who took out the shipment. The preliminary was held on Satur- day and the defendant was bound over to appear at the next term of the Superior Court.
 The game is hard to beat and especially so when Murray and Eakins are after you. The credit for the arrest is due the Sheriff s office, but particularly Eakins, Murray and Smith.
