there is a good deal of horse racing

1t is a race which demands from the
winner a good deal of judgment, a GER

deputy sheriffs impeded their progress.
To put it in plain English, they were
mistaken for "bootleggers." The dep

dull, held up their machine and made
a thorough search. They even went
so far as to pull down the extra tire
on the back OF the auto and gouged
into 1t. hoping to find some contra
band goods. But they had clean bill
