an exciting one. Corbin scored in the

 In the days when the dry law first became effective natives Of Texas were not the experts in the manufacture of hootch that they arc today. and the market demand for fiery fluids was filled by the bands of rum runners operating aiorC the i.420 miles of Texas border. Every town and city had it's bootleggers. from whom the best brands of the Southern Republics alcoholic drinks could be purchased at practically the same price charged in Mexico.
 Then came the increase in the number of pro" agents in the state and, with their advent. greater viz ilance along the border. Rum rum rers found it more difficult to bring in their wares. The trails through the mesquite. ereaseweed and cac- tus. over which their pack trains
