was on parole, and BILL CASON, both of Gainesville, were arrested and charged
with manufacturing and possession of non-tax paid whiskey. Cason is reported to
have escaped from a chain gang in Cooke County about a month ago. E. FRANKLIN,
five miles west of Montague, was arrested, charged with illegal sale of whiskey;
he was fined $100 and costs. The same officers arrested HENRY OVERSTREET of
Bowie, who was charged with destroying personal property; he was fined $300 and

the plunger in a gun owned by Overstreet.
