Chapel Hill News: For a year or more the whiskey business in this place has been

would be forthcoming in a jiffy. They little thought that the coils of the law
were slowly, but surely being wound around them, until last week a shower of
warrants awakened them to the fact that they were entangled and into trouble.
The officers took in with one swoop Mallory Sikes, white, Jude Edwards and wife,
Madison Nunn and Verge Long, colored. Sikes, Edwards and Nunn were sent to jail.
Edwards' wife is out upon her own recognizance and Long gave bond. Dave Allen,
