A SUCCESSFUL raid of an opium den at 226 East Third South street by the Sheriffs officers last night resulted in the capture of six prisoners. Ed Miller and F. M. Wells, the proprietors of the point, were caught in the act of smoking opium, and William Andrews, Jim Williams, Jim Jorbet and Frank F. Barnes, who were found on the premises, are also In the county Jail. Deputy sheriffs Cor-wln, Cor-wln, Steele, Sharp and Edwards were the officers who carried out the raid. While It seems unusual for the county coun-ty officers to make a raid of this nature, na-ture, this Is not the first procedure of this kind that has taken place, although, al-though, according to the county authorities, author-ities, It is the first that has been successful. |
