Operated Blind Tiger.

Hartford City, Nov. 9.—Andy Markins. formerly a saloonkeeper, was fined SIOO and sentenced to 90 days at the state farm by Judge Eichhorn, following his plea of guilty to operating a “blind tiger.” The sentence was suspended on account of the physical condition of the defendant. Markins’ arrest followed the visit here last February of two detectives in the employ of the Law Enforcement league. Posing as map salesmen the two sleuths spent a week here making the rounds of supposed “blind tigers.”
