His braves and their squaws settled around the waters. Visiting Indians soon learned that there were "heap good waters" at Rising Sun's camp. They came often and drank ami bathed freely in the Sulphur water. Chief Rising Sun watched Ills visitors: he saw the delight of the Indians who found the springs so bcncliciul. It was not long before the news spread to all the sur rounding tribes; his camp was crowded with those who had conic to batlic in the wonderful Sulphur waters.

[supposed to be the head of the "ring" that huB supplied the vast majority of tho narcotics consumed in the Harrisburg underworld within tho past several years. George "Tish" Casey, believed to be the head of the sales agents in this city, was held tinder $l,OOO bail, after he had been implicated bv practically every witness that was called to testify. Mr. and Mrs. Willis Fuller. Wallace and Sayford streets, in whose residence a black handbag containing morphine, heroin and other narcotics, was found in the police raid on Monday night, are be ing held under $5OO bail. Pearl Berth, Annie Franklin, Renjamin Dougherty and Frank Robinson, alleged "peddlers" em ployed by Casey, are .being held un der $5OO bail. Men and women, white and colored, with drug wreck ed bodies, repeatedly testified that thev had secured drugs to meet their needs from these four sales agents. The other seven persons taken in the Monday evening raid were released following yesterday afternoon s hearing. All seven persons against whom sufficient evidence was produced at the hearing yesterday remain to-day in the Dauphin county jail, no bail having vet been produced for any of them. This causes the local police department to believe that they have captured the ruling spirits In the "dope" ring that has been supplying fines and forfeitures of "dopesters" and addicts previous'y caught in the police dmgnet. I.ittle evidence was produced at yesterday's hearing to link Brad shaw with the local traffickers. It is beileved that he supplied the drugs to Casey for retail purposes, but Casey denied that Bradshaw had ever supplied him. None of the ped dlers or addicts yesterday testified that they had ever had any dealings with Bradshaw. Several of them did admit, however, that he had been seen at 90jt Sarah avenue, where Pearl Berth and Annie Franklin re sided and where addicts often came for "shots" or for supplies. Alderman DeShong ruled that the evidence produced against him was insufficient to hold him on the "dope" charge here. While on the previous day, Bradshaw had been declared to be a common gambler and held under $l,OOO bail, local of ficials'decided to release him on this charge that he might be prosecuted by the Federal authorities without delay. For the first time yesterday, the physical wrecks were persuaded by police officials to testify against the persons who had sold to them the narcotics which had undermined their constitution. In previous in stances, with few- exceptions, the victims carefully shielded those who had supplied them, fearful lest they should be unable to secure their mor phine, heroin or other drugs in the future. Small packages of every brand of drug carried in the drug peddler's collection, are sold at one dollar each, the pitiable wrecks told. Casey's wares, taken in the raid of the Fuller residence on Monday, were displayed before Alderman De | Shong. Capsules, probably three ; quarters of an inch in length, and small blocks of drugs were shown. iThe small blocks, about one-half | inch square and one-quarter inch in I thickness, were cut in six and eight pieces, the witnesses told, before they were sold to them for one dollar. Women predominated in the wit nesses called to testify against the peddlers yesterday and many of them were colored. Several of them told that they had been users of the drugs for us long as sixteen years, that while they in some cases had made attempts to break oft the habit, they were unable to overcome their yearnings for the peaceful condition which they produced. bince the laws have become more stringent as to its sales, they said, instead of securing physicians' pre scriptions, they had been dependent on the peddlers for their supply to whom they paid enormous rates that they might find rest from their suf ferings. All of the persons held yes terday were implicated lo a great ex tent by the testimony of their vic tims. Several of the women who were taken in the Monday raid and had been in jail since that time without their accustomed amount of nar-1 cot ICS. morphine cliieflv. presented pitiable scenes with their bodies jerk-! ing in a fearful manner. Georgie Gore, with the narcotics' temptingly displayed on Alderman Jr! 10ng 8 was noticed by the official casting longing glances at them, within easy reach of her Shoving them back, the alderman told her that it was probably the safest policy whereupon Georgie re plied, Yes, I might grab one for good luck." Helen Mitchell, one of the white women called to testify, endeavored to shield those who had helped her in procuring her narcotics. She gave little testimony of any value, main taining that she had been "off" of the habit for six months, but she could not resist the temptation, when Alderman DeShong's head was turned, of leaning across the railing and attempting to grab some of the "dope." She was shuffled back to the jail, however, before she succeeded in her attempt. TO STIDV WATER 111 nDs The Harrisburg Natural History Society will hold its weekly excur f sion on Saturday afternoon.
