I wish to inform you that the ferryman at the mouth of Green-River is carrying passengers with-out a licence to do so with-out any life-preservers on board the boat and also running after night with-out any light shown at all, transporting liquor afternight from Ken. into Indiana. He has been warned of this for some time and will not stop and I think some-thing should be done with it. We will give his name is Charlie Gordon, and name of his yacht is Doris E. and the number is 198.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
