NEW EDITION FROM FALCON CLAW DRAWS PROTEST. ANTICIGARETTE LEAGUE WARNS CARD SPREADS HABIT TO YOUTH.

For many a year, man and boy alike have delighted in all manner of collectable cards included in pouches, packets and tins of tobacco. But a new set from Falcon Claw tobacco that celebrates famous gunslingers and outlaws have drawn the ire of Puritan groups. The cards honor gunslingers such as Black Belle, Jim "Boy" Calloway and even Emmet Granger, a known sadistic killer who has in recent years turned to hog fancying.

The Butcher Brothers, who ran afoul of legendary gunslinger Landon Ricketts, are also featured. Mexican desperado Flaco Hernandez graces one card. "When the likes of Frank Heck, The Otis Miller Boys, or the coward Billy Midnight who shot many men in the back are celebrated in this way, it spreads the contaminating influences and effects of the cigarette habit," said Miss Hattie Beardsley of the Anticigarette League. Stores report that the tobacco has been selling well.
