PIGS SQUEAL
AS SHERIFFS
PONDER LONG

Deputy ,sheriffs have new prob
lem on their hands; one that has
caused them lot of worry and one
that sent them scurrying all over
the court house Friday for some
ruling that would get them out of
their dilemma.
1t was all due to Johnnie Hines,
Byron Shirley and Dewey Barrett,
deputy sheriffs, who captured two
negroes in an automobile with five
gallons of whiskey and two pigs
just beyond the barbecue age. The
negroes were arrested, the whiskey
confiscated, and the car seized as a
liquor runner.
But what was to be the status of
the two pigs?
Apparently, according to the depu-
ties, they were used as a decoy to
divert suspicion from the liquor and
might be regarded as part of the
rum-runnigns outfit. On the other
hand. there appeared to. he no court
sanction for their confiscation.
Hunter Armstrong. register in
chancery, and officials of the solicit
tors office were interviewed but
were unable to solve the problem.
The pigs were lodged temporarily
in the county jail, squealing their
protests against arrest. Bonds for
the two negroes, Spencer Palmer and
George Mcdonald, were fixed at
approximately $500 each. They
were arrested early Friday morning
near Mulga Gap.

pany Friday filed bill in chancery
seeking to enjoin the municipality from
collecting paving assessments totaling
S15, S73.65. The petition states that
the paving does not touch the right
of-way, which is 25 feet wide and in
the middle of Kyle avenue, very wide

the company pay for paving is con-
trary to law. 1t is stated that if the

and sells it for the paving cost it may
be difficult to operate the street rail

80 days in which to answer the bill.
