BOOTLEGGERS BAGGED

The sheriff's officers bagged another
bunch of bootleggers Saturday after
noon. Officers Virgins and Morgan
were sashaying around, bewailing the
fact that people were so good they
had no chance to earn their salaries
when they ran across a warm trail of
hooch. Out beneath the swaying pines,
d mile or two north of town, they
found four men gathering around a
fordobile. When these parties saw
the officers, they tried to do mara
thon thru the woods, but came to a
halt when lead began to sing around
their ears. The booze-six and half
cases-and the benzine buggy, belong
ed to one Frank Hazard and Cuban.
The other two men were "innocent
bystanders" Hazard obtained bond
to the amount of $1,000, but the Cuban
had to stay in jail. Marion is a very
unhealthy county for bootleggers.
