Iadian Territory TirDlss.

Z TeFratofy T4DDlee.
Anything which has . basiso 4 alcohol
is IN demand in the Indian Territory.
Intoxication 10 craved, and the stomaoh
Of the Indian Territory drinker does not
quarrel withthe form in which it comes.
Wood alcohol, accounted poisonin most
parts of the country, is consumed in
considerable quantities. The psddlers
buy it in Oklahoma, dilute it with wa
ter and sell it by the pint on this side
Of the line.
One way Of bringing whisky into the
Indian Territory is to have q barrel
with a false bottom. Freighting across
the border is common. There are in
terror stores which draw their stocks Of
goods from cities and railroad points
outside. A barrel with a false bottom
ia a device by which a storekeeper may
ship in a considerable quantity Of
whisky, while the contents, to all or.
binary examination, seem to be coal oil
or some other legitimate article.
Ingenuity in evasion Of the territorial
prohibition probably reached its high
est form of development when n Of
the dealers got up good imitation Of
an egg. Each egg was filled with
whisky. The eggs were shipped here
openly in cases. They were sold for 25
cents each to those who knew the se-
oret. The purchaser Clipped a hole in
the artificial she'll and found in each
egg what was enough for a moderate
drink. The eggshell was Of plaster Of
paris in a fair initation.-St. Louis
