Hot Springs, terrorized Thermopolis
for several hours Saturday. The wild
beasts raced through the main street
of Lhe town while citizens Had and bar- j

nent citizens term it, following the
raids on the bootleggers there, accord

Bone. It is alleged by prominent busi
ness men of the place that notorious
bootleggers were merely lined instead
of being imprisoned, and that their
business went on undisturbed.
