Something Drops.
There were two circuses Saturday,
one of which was not billed beforehand.
Sheriff Donnelly acted 40 ripgmaster,
q corps of nine deputies acted as as
s%istants, and the "blind pigs" did the
forward and back act, with other per.
formances. Something dropped, and in
several places it dropped pretty hard.
1t is pretty safe to say that by far the
largest stock of liquor in town is now
at the court house. There are barrels
of beer and kegs Of whisky, and demi-
johns of brandy and cases of gin and
various and varied receptacles filed
with different kinds of distilled jag. 1t
isn't for sale, either, but it is in charge
of the sheriff, and was taken from the
several blind pigs yesterday.
At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon,
Sheriff Donnelly and nine deputies,
armed with injunctional orders from the
states attorney, and search warrants,
came down like the Assyrians some
years ago. Each one took a previously
designated pig, and the search began.
The sheriff himself dropped in at the
Pacific house, and looked around. Six
barrels of beer, and a barrel of brandy
were discovered, and taken in charge by
the officer. Then the bar was closed up,
and greener fields we're sought.
The old Kline resort on Main street
was another to be looked into. 4. barrel
and three cases of beer rewarded a
search here, and the liquor was confis-
Gated. This place also was closed up.
McPherson's place was investigated,
also. No liquor was found here, but
suspicion Of it's very recent presence
were strong, and the place was also
closed up. The Sheridan house was
visited by another deputy, but nothing
was captured. Harriman's place on
Fourth street was visited, but here too,
nothing was found. Kuntz & Fischer's
was visited and searched with the same
result. Joe Fox's place was looked into,
but was dry. VIM. Campbell's place on
Fourth street was searched, and also
found destitute of liquids. At Ogle's
place, next to the Custer house, how
ever, a haul of nc small proportions was
made, and parts of three barrels of beer,
with a half barrel of brandy, two kegs,
and a case of whisky, and a case of gin
fell into the hands of the sheriff.
Ten places ip all were searched and
four closed up. The principal CON-
p%lainant, on whose testimony the actions
we're brought, il John L. White, but
just who the man is no one seems to
know, and he remains shrouded in a
very deep mystery. He was sworn in as
one of the deputies yesterday and Off
ciated around the Sheridan, where in his
complaint he swears he got a glass of
lager beer on the Fourth from Mr.. Kim.
Anderson says he knows him well-that
he is an %ex.convict, just out of the peni-
Tertiary, and is a tin horn gambler.
NOTES.
Attorney General Standish essayed to
play the detective act himself yesterday.
1t seems he met one of the Harvey boys
on Third street, and intimating he was a
stranger in the city, asked if he knew
where he could get a glass of cool beer.
Harvey thought SO. and they went into
Kountz & Fischer's and asked for beer.
Mr.. Kountz informed them that he had
only ginger ale, root beer and soft
drinks; that it was a prohibition state,
and that for a year or more he had kept
only a lunch room and soft drinks.
Standish declared he wanted something
stronger. Kountz was sorry, but really
he didn't have it. About this time
Deputy Sheriff (Informer) Gilbert ap-
peared and took charge of the place. A
thorough search was made but nothing
in the liquor line was found.
Attorney General Standish: Yes, I
went into Kountz 4 Fischer's to get a
drink of beer but didn't get it. I got
some in another place however, and
I've got a bottle of whiskey here in my
pocket too. We made a pretty clean
sweep to-day. I don't know who this man
White is. I understand he lives in
the county. Kountz treated me nicely,
but not to beer. These piggers are
hard to catch, but the officers got a
large stock Of liquors to-day, and 1 guees
the sheriff has it safely guarded.
Old man wainwright earned his fees as
deputy sheriff yesterday by closing in on
Joe Fox, but he found nothing. Falken-
stein was given charge Of McPherson's.
The Other Circus.
The city was more thickly populated
than usual Saturday, and people came
from miles around. to take in the Sells &
Rentfrow show and be glad. It was a
sort of gala day for everyone, and as a
holiday, was probably much enjoyed,
although the circus is not at all extra
ordinary. The performers and attaches
