 The result of the "dry" law adopted by Arizona in 1914, is told in this story from Tombstone, Ariz. to the Douglas, Ariz. Daily International:
 The county jail at the present time contains more prisoners than it has for a number of years. There are ffty-two now on the register aS that institution. Of that number eighteen are serving time sentences of from 30 to 60 days, five for violation of the prohibition amendment, two for simple assault, and one for gambling; eight for petty larceny; one for carry ing deadly weapon, and one alleged insane. Of those held to await the action of the superior court there are three for highway robbery; three for burglary; two for statutory rape; sixteen for violation of the prohibi- tion amendment; two for resisting an officer; one for grand larcency; one for an assault with deadly weapon and one for passing a bogus check.
