"BOOTLEGGER SHOOTS RIVAL'S TIRE

There was another outbreak of gang warfare here about 8 o'clock Friday
night when two bootleggers, from Cherokee and Plymouth counties, got into an
argument.

It seems the Cherokeean had been hauling liquor, to everyone's
satisfaction, but when he started peddling at retail he aroused the ire of
local competitors, one of whom took a shot at the Cherokeean's car. The
bullet, a .22 special, was found inside the tire.

Local bootleggers complain that the business is all shot to pieces, with
so many of the unemployed supporting their families by selling liquor.
Prices have dropped and customers are getting very particular. Aged liquor
that would have brought high prices in good times can now be bought for $3
or $4 a gallon."
