The liquor interest had another set
back yesterday afternoon. Constable
Munroe and other officers, learning that
a quantity of liquor had arrived in town,
went to work to find it. They came to
the conclusion that it was in the saloon
run by Ed. Connors in the south end of
the Smith Il Sheldon block: but just

they couldn't for some time make out.
At last they discovered cupboard set
on casters, and, under where it usually
stood, trap-dOor. The liquor was
reached by opening this door and going
down almost to the level of the creek.
The haul was good one, the spoils con-
sisting of a barrel of Bourbon whskey
and three barrels of ale or beer.
