MORE "HOPHEADS"
SENT UP FRO M
BORDER TO CO. JAIL

Four more 'hopheads were re-
ceived at the county Jail Yesterday
afternoon, one of the quartet be-
ing woman, Celestine Russell. The
men prisoners received were Dick
Hansen, Matthew Conway and
George Shirley. All were given six
month sentences by Judge Markev
of CaleXico.
The arrest of the four followed
another roundup of undesirables y
by the Mexican authorities. In all
nearly 80 persons were sent across
the line. All were placed under ar
rest by the ICalexico police, and
with the exception of the four
mentioned above, were given sus-
pended sentences and ordered to
leave Imperial county.
None of these latter were ad-
dicted to drugs, according to the
police, hence they were not given
Jail sentences. Jail officials stated
today that they were relieved great
ly that the supply of ''hopheads
was not greater, for they would be
sorely tried to find room for them
in the jail at present.

The rush of orders was so great
that departments were swampcd and
