There was another brewery raid
Wednesday night, Sheriff Rixford, and
Officer Capron of Winchester appearing
at the East Eagle and taking in
tow j. j. Lillis, who was tending bar
and Thomas Clune, an employee who
washes bottles there. The latter was
out of the room at the time and
might have dcfieu arrest, but Riyford
motioned him to come into the room
of the foaming beverage and he
innocently came. 1t was too late to
get bonds for them that night and so
they were both taken To Winchester
and had their hearing yesterday, +. }
Temple being employed by Mr. Turner
to defend them. The result was tine
of $40 and costs for Lilis and Clune was
allowed to go free. This will mean
that another change will have to be
made in the dispenser of fluids there
in order TO call it a first offense"
after the prohibitory parlance, or
else capitulation to the Law and Order
League which has threatened so posi-
lively never to relent until the business
is abandoned at these places. The
Last Eagle was open yesterday only
a little while to attend to its case trade
and the same was true of the West
Eagle" both yesterday and Wednesday.
It was closed at the time OF the raid,
though the officers say they had no
papers against it, The court was not
ready Saturday for the case against
the Messrs. Ellis as a result Of last
weeks raid, but it was heard Monday
and the fine was s72.
