HE RAN A TRUNK
Line FROM UP NORTH
NEGRO ARRESTED FOR BRING
ING BOOZE SUPPLY A LONG
DISTANCE TO BRoNWOoD.

Not through any choice of his own
Choice" Daniels, Brentwood negro,
was nabbed by officers in that town
Friday afternoon on the charge of
violating the state prohibition law.
The exodus of negroes from this
section to the north seems to have
given Daniels an idea, and he forth
with put it into execution. He was
among the emigrants to the north,
and remembering that he left behind
. very large number of thirsty ones
he hit upon the plan of relieving
them and at the same time making
1t profitable for himself by frequent
trips back home with a supply of
booze in trunks.
The unusual amount of baggage
always carried by Daniels attracted
attention and excited suspicion, and
a warrant was taken for him by citi-
zens of Brentwood.
One of the trunks had been broken
open and its contents removed be-
fore officers made a search, but in
another trunk was found four quarts
of rye whisky.
The prisoner and whisky were
brought to Dawson by Constable Ar
mold, and delivered to Sheriff Turner
The prisoner gave a bond of 5000
and was released, but the sheriff still
has the whisky in custody.
