BOthering the Mails.

Anthony Creig, the driver on this end
the Miles City and Deadwood stage
line, had his experience with the storm
while coming in yesterday, and does not
care about a repetition of it. Owing to
the heavy rain, Tongue and all of the
small streams were very high, and Mr..
Creig took the hill road, as is customary
under similar circumstances. When he
came to johnson creek, he drove into 1t
without any fear whatever, but it was
deeper and swifter than he anticipated,
and his horses were unable to make the
narrow exit from the ford. In an instant
the outfit was floating down stream, the
banks of which are high and steep. 1t
was with difficulty that Mr.. Creig got
out Of the creek himself, and both horses
were soon drowned. Rescuing the mail,
il a w~ater-soaked condition, the driver
came in, arriving about 5 o'clock.
Frank Herman, the Tongue river mail
man. crossed Johnson creek some time
ahead Of Robinson, but had not reached
here at : o'clock this morning. and the
mail was sent out on horseback. Mr..
Herman came in all right, and vent out
again today.
The Knowlton stage line is likewise in
trouble. but as Mr.. Cox had his expert
ence earlier in the season, when he had
two horses drowned in Powder river. he
guarded against danger this time. and
no serious trouble is apprehended. The
other day. having heard hat the Powder
was coming up, Driver Ross was directed
not to attempt to come back to town if
the stream looked bad. AS Ross did not
come in last night, it is supposed that he
kept on the safe side, and this morning
Mr.. Cox started from Miles City with
the mail. taking a boat with him for use
in crossing Powder river.

Evidence Against Division Resorts

The mills of the internal revenue gods in
this city have commenced to grind and while
they are grinding slowly they will grind ex-
ceeding fine
Yesterday afternoon it was learned that
Uncle Sans agents at the local revenue OF
fee. No. 643 Louisiana avenue, were making
arrangements to prosecute John Shea, John
J. Leonard. Rebecca Williams, and other
"speak-easy'' keepers, who have been con-
victed in the District courts of selling liquor
without having licenses.
During the day the revenue men were in
consultation with Sergt. Daley. and it Is said
they will soon take action against numero US
other violators OF the internal revenue laws.
1t was also learned that the revenue officers
were about to take action against an en-
ploye OF the United States Capitol bui lding,
on the charge of conducting who lesaie
"speak-easy' under the very dome and IN
the shadows of the great national ediace in
which the rigid liquor laws are enacted.
It Is stated that Revenue Officer Sno WIDEN
Investigated this case and foun that the en-
ploye in question mad been openly selling
large quantities of liquor TO his fello ow-em-
ployes in the fancied security afforded by the
great white walls of the big building on the
hill. His mode of operation was to sell demi-
johns Of whisky by sample He usually car
ried small vials of lauor with him from which
TO allow his customers 10 select the brand of
firewater they desired. and then he supplied
them with any quantity. from one gallon TO a
barrel. and delivered il TO their homes if de-
sired
il was stated last night that a warrant for
the arrest Of this Capitolian offender will be
applied for this morning before United States
Commissioner Samuel J. Mills.
Antl-Saloon League agents have learned
from the revenue Office that United States
liquor licenses. which cost S25 each. and ''no
questions asked. " have been issued TO nearly
all the keepers of immoral resorts in the
Division
Ia applying for these licenses the appli-
cants are compelled by law TO make oath
either that they will commence the sale of
liquor by retail or wholesale, as the case may
be, on certain date, or that they have been
engaged in such sales from a certain day, the
dates 10 be specifically set forth
These facts the league people claim. make
out prima facie case of illicit liquor selling
against every person who is found in posses
sion OF a United States license. Persons who
have these licenses cannot evade the law
officers by hiding them, as the revenue Office
has a complete roster of every one issued,
with the full names and addresses of the par
ties TO whom issued.
This roster. it is said. will prove TO be a
club with which the leaguers will knock out
many yiolators of the District liquor laws
1t is also said that the police department

them in locating some Of the whisper houses
