Camp at Burrows, Near Tefft, la Called Black Eye.

J Valparaiso Vidette: Burrow’s camp, on the Kankakee, where Mr. Burrows hands out the refreshments from his taloon to many customers, is termed by some people of Jasper and Pulaski counties the black eye of this region. Many letters have been poured into this county protesting against a saloon license, mhich may or may not be granted to Burrows at the next regular meeting of the county commissioners. The matter has' been pending since two months ago. The commissioners have not indicated what will be done in regard to it. Pulaski county is dry., Hundreds of men, thirsting for the forbidden beverages in their own counties, come to Burrow’s camp, the remonstraters claim, and families are distressed, homes broken up, and accidents to the merrymakers occur on the joyrides. Burrows, in the face of the accusations, declares that he runs the business in compliance with the law.
