SHERIFF WARREN, with deputies Durgin and
Stevens, have made another raid on the viola
tors of the 9th chapter. Saturday forenoon
they made one of their free and easy calls up
on John Cantillon, on Elm street, in Bidde-
ford, and found about four gallons of liquors of
various kinds. They then visited the fish
market of Charles Hurd ON Smith street and
found somewhere in the neighborhood of seven
ty gallons of liquors.
Mr. Cantllon pleaded guilty upon his ar
raignment and paid the $50 and costs with ap-
parent willingness, but shade of sadness came
over his countenance when the officers inform
ed him that he wouldn't have his liquors.
Mr. Hurd pleaded not guilty and appealed
without offering testimony.
The officers subsequently called upon Sleeper
but failed to effect an entrance.
