"PROHIBITION OFFICIALS STAGE
INVESTIGATIONS HEBE
Elections, rumors of war, the sit
uation in the Far East, foot ball,
and all other absorbing topics had
to take a back seat in" the city yes
terday, when it became known
that prohibition officers had visited
a number of Paris business houses
and made two arrests as a result
of their investigations. Such news
creates more excitement in Paris
than would the resumption of the
great world war.
F. G. Fields, B. F. Unthank and
W. C. White, prohibition enforce
ment officials from the Lexington
office, accompanied by Hayes Green,
of Barbourville, came to Paris yes
terday morning, and equipped with
search warrants, visited a number
of places on Main stret, searching
the premises thoroughly and inspect
ing soft drinks at several places.
Their search was unrewarded and
fruitless, as all the places visited
showed clean bills and free from
suspicion.
Extending their field of opera
tions the officials under authority
of their warrants, arrested Edward
Herrin, of Paris, as he was enter
ing the First National Bank build
ing, and, it was alleged, after a
search, found a half-pint of moon
shine on his person. Going to
Herrin's room in the Dow building,
they instituted a search, and fin
ally found a copper still, with a
capacity of thirty gallons, in opera
tion, with about a gallon of moon
shine newly-made. The still was
warm when found. The officials
destroyed the still and confiscated
the liquor. Shortly after this
they placed Joe Frakes, of Paris,
under arrest, on a charge of inter
ferring with officers in the dis
charge of their duty, alleging that
he had attempted to "tip off" their
visit to Herrin and others.

The hunting season opens nex
Wednesday, and every son-of-a-gun
who can get hold of a dog, a gun
and a hunting license, will be out
in, the fields bombarding quail and

luck.
Those who intend to hunt should
not fail to provide themselves with
a hunting license,, and: have- it witli
them at all times in the field. They
must also remember that the bag

rabbits is fifteen per day, and mo
more, to each hunter.
Many lands have been "posted"
and the consent of the landowner,

.land must be secured, before hunt
ing. Game Warden A. W. Bullock, with
the earnest co-operation and as
sistance of the Bourbon County
