New Gloucester,
A BIG LIQUOR SEIZURE AFTER
A HARD CHASE.
For long time certain dealers in the
ardent, who hold forth against the pro-
lbltory law in Lewiston and Auburn
nave used certain railway stations in
New gloucester as the place from
which they derive their supply of liquor.
They would have liquor shipped to some
nctltlous parties in that town, and when
the trains arrived on which the liquor
| was expected men and teams would be in
waiting, who would carry their load into
Androscoggln county, where they felt
saIe from molestatiOn from the officials
IN Cumberland county. Last May one OF
| these smuggling teams which had re-
celved load of beer at the Grand Trunk
station was seized by Deputy Sheriff
Collier and one of the occupants of the
team arrested. The beer was spilled and
| ox-ilr firo brr
the court. This lesson had no other eff
fect on the smugglers than to make
| Uhem change their line Of opera
| lions 1t soon came to the deputy's ears
that liquor was being smuggled from
Rowe's Station on the Maine Central
railroad in the town into Androscoggin
county, and that a prosperous business
was being carried on. For two months
the deputy has tried to capture the
smugglers but they were able to thwart
all his efforts. 1t seems that the SNUG
glers had some one in New Glouc ester
who kept them informed as to the
deputy's movements. When the deputy
ceased. But when the deputy was called
away for special duty f1ourishing bust
ness was carried on. Thusrday evening
as the passenger train from Portland was
| leaving the New Gloucester station the
deputy, who was on the watch, saw
something in the baggage car which
aroused his suspicious. The next station
between one and two miles by rail and a
| longer distance by the highway Jump
| ing into his team the deputy whipped up
| his horse and the race began. He was
| wellaaware.w Ehe reached Rowe station
| that the team had reached that station
some time before. He kept on however,
and soon came in sight of loaded team
| Ia ahoT,
goods. The smuggler resorted to the usual
| tactics when he observed that he was
pursued. Lashing his horse to the top of
| his speed he endeavored to escape with
his load The deputy settled down to
work and soon overhauled the runaway
AS soon as the smuggler saw that he
| could not escape with his team he threw
down the reins and endeavored to escape
to the woods. On leaping the fence be-
side the road he stumbled and fell Be
| fore he could regain his feet the officer
pounced upon him and had him under
arrest. The officers son, who accom-
panied his father in the chase kept on
after the deserted team, and was soon
able to stop it. Upon Investigation it
proved that the load consisted of two
twenty gallon kegs of whiskey, two ten
gallon kegs of whiskey, and one ten-gal-
lon keg of gin. The captured party gave
his name as Ephraim Dubey. He was
brought before Trial Justice Cobb of
| New Gloucester Friday and fined fifty
dollars and costs He paid his fine and
was discharged. The liquors have been
| libelled.
