"HIP POCKET" CASES
General Dry Agents Here Go After
Curb BOOtIeggers.

A campaign against "hip-pocket
bootleggers has been in progress since
the general prohibition agents head
quarters were removed from FL Paso
TO San Antonio. it is indicated by the
large number of possession and sale
cases involving only a small amount OF
LIQUOR that have been filed recently
with the United States commissioner
here.
Since the state rangers have been
in San Antonio, the prohibition en-
forcement office here has been. largely
engaged in conducting investigations
that must be conducted in oil cases
turned over to the federal authorities
by the state officers, and hence the
agents here have had but little time to
work on cases initiated by themselves:
With the presence of the general
prohibition agents in this city. low-
ever. warfare against the bootlegger
has re-opened. The majority of boot
Ieggers usually handle but small
amounts of liquor at time. Pracc-
tically every case involving small
amount of liquor that is being filed
now, includes the charge of sale.

held the writ and appeal was taken
TO the higher courts which last week
affirmed the case.
A wire was sent to the sheriff of
