| Pint of "White Mule" spoils Christmas Plans |
Plans for what promised to be a pleasant Christmas for the family of Mr. and Mrs. George Smith of Bargersville, Ind. were marred by an accident, a pint bottle of "white mule" and the police yesterday. Their automobile, laden with toys and other Christmas presents, crashed into a Stock Yards street car, operated by Benjamin Hough, 617 Eugene street, motorman. Mrs. Smith suffered a slight cut on the right hand. Motor Policemen Harms and Owens declared that they found a bottle of "mule" in the automobile. Smith was taken to police headquarters, charged with operating a blind tiger and with driving an automobile while under the influence of liquor. (Note: A "blind tiger" is a place where alcholic beverages are sold illegally - a speakeasy - after the early custom of exhibiting animal curosities in speakeasies.) He was held by the police for appearance tomorrow in City court. (The Indianapolis Star - Indianapolis, Indiana - 1921 December 18) |
