Middlesboro Daily News, Middlesboro, KY Sept. 6, 1921
 
Items From The Court
   Ballard Hampton and Alva Nevils of Claiborne county, Tennessee, were
arrested last night for transporting liquor into Middlesboro.  A keg of
liquor was taken over by the Middlesboro officers from these men before they
had a chance to sell any of it.
   Both men are prominent citizens in Tennessee.  They were taken to
Pineville this morning by John Wilson to be brought before United States
commissioner.
   H.E. Ball, Chief of police, said that the men would probably make bond
this afternoon.
   "It is the high price at which liquor can be sold which is attractive to
men who would otherwise not attempt to sell it." he said.
   Grover Williams, held for malicious shooting on this side of the
Cumberland mountains, was tried this morning before County Judge Van Bebers
and County Attorney Lee Patterson.  He was held for circuit court in
November on $1000 bond.
  Attorney John Howard represented the defendant.
   About 3:30 this afternoon two boys were taken into custody by officers on
Cumberland avenue charged with taking some tools from a hardware store.
