Morgan City Officers Are
Enforcing Law Covering
Work Or Fight Regu-
lations
Colored Gambling Club Raided
Early Sunday Morning And
Five Non-Workers Ar
rested This Morning

The fine team work existing
between the police officers and
mayor of Morgan City is Sc
curing law enforcement of great
value to both the community and
the national government. Twelve
negro violators of the city's
gambling and work or fight or
dinance, arrested since Saturday
night were turned over to Mayor
Shannon and his court at ten
o'clock this morning and that ex-
ecutive consumed just thirty
minutes in disposing of their
cases. Seven of the men were
charged with gambling and fol-
lowing their plea of guilty were
promptly fined S25 and costs or
thirty days in Jail. The other
five were picked up off the
streets this morning after ad-
mitting they were not working
"just at present" In court all of
these men said they had steady
jobs but for various reasons
were not working today. They
were ordered by the mayor to
Immediately resume their work
and were let off with this warn
ing after exacting promise
from each that he would report
to Chief Bulge some time to-
day with his registration card.
The gamblers were taken into
custody early Sunday morning
following a raid conducted by
officers Boulder and Guidry on
their Club. The rear part of
fhe old sunrise bakery in Kings
vile served as lheir quarters. !
The room is rented by Isaac
Dow, who was included in the
party arrested. Just before the
officers reached the building a
shot was fired in the street near
by and Sam Martin, another ne
gro, was caught with firearm
in his hands. He was also ar
rested and taken to the station
with the gamblers. The Off
GERS believe Martin fired his gun
as warning to the card play
ers.
In court this morning Martin
strenuously denied this charge.
He said he discharged the gun
cause l heard a heap Of firm
over at Riverside and l got kim
la excited-like andI ,thought i I
had better do some firm too"
Mayor Shannon told him that the
shot would cost him five dol
ars.
The gamblers against whom
ines were assessed are: Robert ]
long, l. Dow, G.. Sanders. MIL I,
on Lewis, Tom Smith, Ernest
Williams, William Robinson.

None of the prisoners were able
to pay their fines and were re-
