"MOUNTIES” GET MAN AFTER LONG HUNT
FIVE YEARS OF SECRET INVESTIGATION END
Montreal, Dec., 17.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police, famous in pioneer days for their continent-wide patrols and their daring and often single-handed tracking of criminal gangs over hundreds of miles of country and for months on end, still "get their man." After five years of in. vestigation, the Preventive Branch of the service has laid charges against a great liquor smuggling ring and has succeeded in rounding up many of the principals.
The existence of this $5,000,000 rum-running organisation had long been suspected, but the first authentic information as to its activities were divulged in court here to-day when cash bail of $100,000 each was demanded for several of the 61 accused.
