Abstract

Photograph used for a story in the Oklahoma City Times newspaper. Caption: "Larking Lamb, left, and Sheriff Bob Turner inspect bottles removed from the stack at right. Sheriff Bob Turner currently is in possession of the largest single cache of whisky to be found in Oklahoma. He conservatively estimates the lot in the terms of several hundred cases. And he's going to hang on to it, no matter how many tongues swivel and dry up as the trickle of booze from surrounding wet states is mopped up by Joe Cannon and his "Cannon-ball" enforcement drive. Cannon was chosen by Gov. Edmondson as the man most likely to succeed in an all-out drive to purge Oklahoma the last drop of intoxicating beverages.
