Prohibition Will Be Str4ctly Enforced Hero Monday night was the b'g night as wall as the test night But it was not the wild orgy that perhaps some expected Quite true the Mlnne-ba-ha stuff flowed freely either consumed on the premises or lagged off to parts unknown very much of both In fact but the party didn't get rough only In spots In one place where the celebrants got too boisterous they were chased out by 10 and the doors locked after them Until midnight the streets were well filled with people and the oases were crowded It was the liveliest Monday night this town has seen in some time but disturbances were few Only a half dozen drunks were arrested which is a pretty small percentage Quite a large number came here from out of town many from Newport in machines The streets were well filled with autos all the evening The Newporters were buying freely especially boose that they took in bundles The last few mtnutea before 11 o'clock were strenuous ones and bartenders earned their pay right then At the closing hour those who had machines tied down their horns and there was a grand chorus of raucus-voiced sirens This lasted for some little time and was a farewell salute to John Barleycorn Those who owned machines and the money were the luckiest They could buy the most and take it away Many of those who hsd the money and no machines bought all they could carry But the bird with neither machine nor money was out ofluck AU he could do was to envy the others was amusing though to see how tnanv were carrying bundles Monday night Some were Innocent enough to look at and may have been so and there were others whose contents were obvious But the eye of suspicion was cast at anyone with any kind of bundle But the arid Sahara would be no dryer to some birds than the
