BLOCKADE RUNNERS ON
TWIN SPRINGS ROAD
Europe Has No Monopoly of Cutting
Off OF Supplies. One Skipper Out
sailed Pursuers.

The road from Twin Springs to
Twin Falls is more dangerous than
the North Sea these days on account
Of the blockade maintained by his
Majesty King Kendall, who has every
charted channel filled with cruisers
looking for contraband. There are
blockade runners on the passages who
go to the Springs for the purpose Of
getting the mineral water and other
exhilerating beverages which it is not
lawful to land in this state, unless
slowed away in quantities too small to
discern, inside the captain. Every
time that person goes out under sus-
picious circumstances a deputy goes
out and lays for him and if he does not
see the watcher in time to sink 2is
cargo he will have a fearful story to
| tell Judge Babcock of the destitution
that his family will be left in if he
should be locked up. Sometimes an
unexpected craft commanded by a
prominent skipper whose presence is
not suspected, comes sailing by. This
/ happened one evening last week when
prominent business man come down
the channel under full steam. The en-
barge officer ordered him to halt but
the skipper was so intent on the rud-
der of his craft that he did not hear
and he went by before the batteries
could be brought to bear. In this case,
the officers, not being able to over
haul the flying cutter assumed that
the cargo was harmless since they had
no proof to the contrary, but they say
that the next cargo that tries to run
the blockade will be shot up, just as a
cure for deafness.
