Last Friday evening, Sheriff Lamber-
son and a posse cOmttdtus raided the
celebrated Barnes building, the Cross
building and the old Occidental hotel at
South Haven and, as a result of the
raid, gathered in Mortimer II. Strong,
landlord of the Occidental, Geo. Cross
and Chas. Crippen of the Cross building
and Thomas Minter of the Barnes
building, all charged with violation of
the local option law. Full grown "eye-
less tigers" were found in full blast at
each place. There was no trouble at
the Occidental, as MIR. Strong yielded
gracefully to the inevitable and intro
duced the officers, at their request, to
the full mysteries of his menagerie. AT
each of the other two places, q demand
for admission elected no response, and
the officers promptly forced an en-
trance by battering down the doors that
barred their way. Complete equip
ments for the dispensation of Illicit bev-
erages, and liquors galore, both spirit
uous and malt, were found at each
place, samples of which the officers OF
the law have now on file. The bars
were so arranged that bibulous Gus.
toner could nominate his favorite
poison, deposit his nickel or dime as the
case might be, which would disappear
as if handled by skilful prestdigitator
in its stead, from some invisible source,
would come the desired beverage, au
tomatically, as it were, and apparently
without human aid, no person being
seen, no voice being heard and not even
a growl being audible within the tigers
lair. All four Of the arrested parties
being brought to Paw Paw, waived ex
animation and gave bonds to appear al
the September term of the circuit court
although Cross did not secure bail un
til Monday and so had the opportunity
of spending quiet Sunday in the Hote
de Lamberson, in company with his fel
low sufferer, Will Barnes, who is doing
time for like otfense.
