Rum Ia Wagons.

The liquor war was resumed in Rutland
Friday. in a rather sensational manner. The
custom is for the states attorney to swear out
search warrants, and the officers consider
that they have done enough when they take
one bottle from each place.
While States Attorney Rowland was in
Montpelier Friday, City Attorney George L.
Rice took it into his head to raid local bars,
10 in number, and it took several express
wagons to cart off the proceeds. Later in the
day the city court was full of barkeepers, and
nine of them were convicted and fined.
This action on the part Of the city at
the quantity of liquor taken. Only once be-
fore this in recent years has it been neces-
sary to summon in the express wagons to
take the liquor to the "spilling room in the
county court house.
