N. Drake of Tilton searched sixteen
saloons in one section of this city this
afternoon and found malt liquors in all

them. The liquor was seized and placed

were sworn to by Rev. A. j. Wheeler, sec
retary of the State Law and Order

A crowd gathered while the liquors
were being removed. Two men who ex-
pressed sympathy with the officers were

reports of big fire crackers and the sound
of fish horns added to the din. 1t was
the most remarkable demonstration and
the nearest approach to riot in Concord
for many years. The absence of leader
alone prevented serious injury to persons
and property. Early this evening, Mr.

the liquors from his building. They
were taken to some unknown place after
midnight. Mr.. Blanchard also asked for

oped no particularly new facts. The
lungs and stomach were sent to Profess
sor WOOD of Harvard University for
analysis.
In the pocket of the dead mans coat
was found an account of the robbery of
clothing store au New Bedford. This
was a few days. before Christmas. A short
time later Collins's clothing store in
Merrimac was entered by burglars and
large amount Of clothing was stolen.
The thieves left behind their old clothes.
and after dodning garments were seen to
drive off in the direction of West New

This town adjoins Georgetown, and
the superstition is that the murdered
man was member of the gang of
thieves, and that there was quarrel
over the disposition Of the booty, which
resulted in the murder OF the man who
was found in the brook.
The fact that the clothes worn by the
murdered man We're nearly all new leads
the officers to place good deal of faith
in the theory entertained above They
will ask the owners of the Merrimac
store to examine the clothing at once.
When the body was first removed : to
the undertaking rooms it was given out
that the mans moustachesand whiskers
were black. Today it was ascertained
that the mans whiskers were gray, and
that the mustache had been colored.
