Large Quantities OF Whisky.
[Salt Lake Tribune eth.
The city was in ferment of excite
ment yesterday afternoon over the
seizure by the county authorities o
several thousand dollars worth of liquor
belonging to the dealers who have been
defendants in the various suits insti.
tuted by the city and county under the
liquor license ordinance. The authori-
ties claim that the time having expired
to file an appeal bond, they had right
to levy on the goods Of the defendants
to satisfy the costs of the suits. Accord
ingly yesterday morning twenty execu-
tons were placed in the hands Of the
Sheriff, and with half dozen deputies
he started out. The first raid was
made on N. P. Gray, near the corner Of
First South and Main streets. The
Sheriff, on taking possession of the place
ran against a barkeeper, who was dis
posed to make a lively fight for the
goods, but received orders from the pro-
prietor to desist from any violence.
The Sheriff took all the liquor and
glasses he could lay his hands on. One
of the deputies attempted TO remove
the hot stove, but was obliged to desist
on account Of the temperature of the
goods. More coal was piled in, and by
keeping it red hot during the rest of
the day the property was saved.
AS soon as the news OF the seizure
spread about the city large crowd col
ected. The proprietor sent out for
more liquor and glasses, and in ten
minutes was selling liquor to the crowd |

'gument the Court ordered suspen-
on of allpreceedings on the part of the
heriff. Attorney Rawlins appeared for
lie county. The Court after hearing the
gument, refused to make any change
the order and sent a note to the ,
1erif to proceed with his executions. c
he excitement by this time was in

dewalk discussing the proceedings.
