RING BROKEN
"MOUNTIES" GET MAN AFTER LONG HUNT
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.
