FISHING FOR RATTLE
SNAKE is NEW WRINKLE

John Hickman Of lower Big
Level comes to town with
brand new fish story and yet it
does not implicate a single men,
Der of the finny tribe.
In fact his story is the dis
covery of a new wrinkle in the
sport of fishing. 1t does concern
q six-foot rattle snake with
seven rattles.
Last Saturday evening the
young sons of John Hickman
and Dan McQuagge, who live on
lower Big Level where they are
making a success at farming,
were out COW hunting and STUN
bled into a large rattlesnake.
Sunday morning Messrs Hick-
man and McQuagge, supplied
with two large fishing hooks
at one end of a heavy fishing
line, went forth into the woods
and found the snakes hiding
place-a gopher hole. After
pushing the hooks down into the
hole with vine and following
few twists of the wrist, the
rattler was dragged from his
resting place and his head blown
to nothings with shotgun
carried along for that purpose.

JURY HAS A RIGHT
TO DRINK EVIDENCE

Los Angeles, Calf, April "a.
-Juries in bootlegging cases
are entitled legally to drink the
evidence, according to w. Max
we'll Burke, deputy district at
torney.
His ruling followed the trial
of Joe Lankinfi charged with
violation of the Wright act.
Burke introduced a bottle of
liquor as evidence.
The jury heard the testimony
and retired with the evidence.
When it returned it was hung
seven to five for conviction.
The evidence was gone.
"a jury has the right to SAM
pie the evidence" said Burke
'1t has the right to take the
liquor into the jury room and
determine whether it is liquor.
In this case the jury evidently
found the evidence genuine, but
you would not know it by the
disagreement as to guilt or in
rocence.
With the evidence gone, Burke
said it is improbable Lankin will
be tried again.

CLEANUP PLANNED
IN PRUHI FORCES
Discovery of Graft" and other
Corruption Leads to Thorough
Investigation.

Washington, April 25.-Dis-
coveIy of graft and other
forms of corruption among
officers charged with the enfor-
cement of the federal prohibi-
tion laws today led to orders
Tor a nation wide clean up of
the enforcement organization.
Revenue Commissioner Blair
and Prohibition Commissioner
Haynes, amazed by the dis
closures, are Investigating
charges that prohibition agents
have collected large sums of
money to protect the illicit booze
traits, but have failed to "de-
liver" when the time came.
Shake ups which are contem-
ordered or which are contem-
plated in various parts of the
country have made it necessary
for the internal revenue bureau
to replace large percentage of
the present enforcement per-
scnnel in many states where
agents are under fire for alleged
crookedness.
The situation in several states
is said to follow closely the line
of evidence unearthed in Chi
cago, where acting Director
Roscoe Andrews was suspended
as the result of serious charges
made by liquor interests.

ftable occasion for those who
come to town on this date.
Efforts are being made to
have the brass band from the
Gulf Coast Military Academy
here to furnish music through
out the day. A competitive
May Pole Dance, the winning
side to be decided by the cheer
ing of the spectators. Boy

n1aneuvers by the local military
company will in all probability
he part of the days program,
and arrangements are being
made for a baseball game in the
late afternoon.

many other attractions will
keep those attending busy
throughout the day.
