method employed By parties engaged in
the illegal sale Of liquor at st. Lucas,
ten miles northwest of this city. They

approach is such that when the officers
attempt to search the place the dealers
have time enough to open a trap and
spill the liquor into the river below be-
fore they reach the inside. The officers
find nothing and of course can make no
arrest.
