ONE WALLOP and
SHERIFF WINNER
LOOKOUT STOPS BLOW WITH JAW,
COUNTY OFFICERS MAKE THREE
RAIDS IN PAST week

There is at least one man in our
fair city who sincerely believes that
Jack Dempsey, champion of the
Kingdom of Swat, had better be
looking to his laurels.

tain gentleman said to be a lookout
on duty at a local pool hall and al

to conduct an Investigation. The
lookout. spying the on-coming rep
resentative of the law and order,
sprang to the assistance of his COM
rades within by ringing two electric
bells as warning.
The Sheriff, being a husky man
and naturally resenting interference
from without took a swing at the
would-be "Spotter". The blow land

gained admittance into the room and
arrests were made. Informatin
charging Jewell Alrich with gambling
and Dave Wolfson with permitting
rambling were filed by County At
torney McMtcken at once and the
two men are now cut on bonds of
$500 each.
