Opium Selling Is Illegal Ah Tom, who kept a hop joint on Broad- way, was recently arrested by Constable Bu- quor, and sentenced by Judge Givens to im- prisonment for six months or to pay a fine of $100. He is now in jail. The constable has some seven or eight warrants for other Chinamen who have been keeping joints where opium is sold. The law in regard to selling opium should be rigidly enforced, even if it is necessary to lock up half the Chinamen of the town.
