 SNUGGLERS

MORALES, Dec. 1S.-Ed Le Bean former owner of the Palace Saloon ill Nogales, Sonora, his wife and two children were taken into custody by
 the customs authorities, Thursday
 afternoon.
 Mrs. Le Bean and the two children
 were ln the lobby of the Montezuma
 waiting for the stage, due to leave
 for Tucson in short time, when a
 customs officer standing at the cigar
 counter noticed she had a parcel with
 both ends open containing meat. Now
 this meat while bearing mute testi-
 mony and reason for an errand
 which would take one across the, line.
 proved in the end to be the undoing
 of the party. Wondering why Mrs
 Le Bean who was going to Tucson should buy meat in this locality. the officer reported that there was some thing suspicious about the lady and that he also noticed curious bulge in the stockings of one of the little girls. With this information before him Special Deputy Berner gave orders to have the Stage call at the Customs House before it left for Tucson. When the stage arrived at the Customs House Mrs. Le Bean was asked to see MT. Berner min ute, and as she stepped from the car a small sealed tin was seen to drop from under the lady's skirt. which | she quietly and as unobtrusively as possible recovered, but not before the Keen eyes, watching her movements l had taken note of the happening.
 Le Bean not being anywhere in | fo | stage, and just the other side of | Camp Stephen D. Little the much wanted gentleman hailed the stage l and was taken, by the officers in me car winch followed. thereby com 1 pleting the little family circle and | 1rawing the strings of the laws | net tight, to be opened in the office | 'f the Customs House where we .ake up the thread of the story again.
 On being searched Mrs Le Beanl lisgorged three pound tins of smok ing Opium, while thfee ounces of morphine were found on the oldest 'f the girls, Le Bean himself having ,raftily placed the staff and burJ len on the woman and children.
 i Under close questioning a complete confession was obtained from him which exonerated the woman and ;hildren to a large extent, they being lsed as tool or carriers for the larcotics and innocent of any intent o break the law. though technically ,uilty, as they were in possession \. f the dope"
