Spencer, July 2-Oficers Draper.
Hathaway, Aldrich and Billiard re-
turned empty handed at l o'clock this
morning after three hours raid. The
empty wagon, which the officers hoped
to bring home full of spirits, told the
whole story. Although not successful
they made good attempt and feel well
satisfied as they can now rest con-
tented that one place no more exists.
The officers left town at 10 o'clock last
night for the purpose of raiding the
home of John D. Tiguere DIETER known
as the Pike PLACED which is the second
house over the Paxton line, and situated
on the main road from Spencer to Pax
ton. Complaint after complaint has been
made about this house, by Paxton peo-
pie. The. Spencer officers have been
watching it for some time, and were not
long in forming the same opinion as
their neighboring townsmen, and so
headed by Chief of Police H. P. Draper,
decided to make an attempt last night
at doing away with it,. Instead of find
Ing the house crowded with men and
women they found only Mr.. Giguere and
his youngest daughter, who is but 10
officers found the owner of the house
doing a. few chores about the barn, and
the little girl alone in. the house.
Not to be fooled, nevertheless, the
officers at once began their search for
liquor, but soon came to the conclusion
that 1t was not to be found in that
house. They then went out to Mr.. Gig
uere. He said that his wife and two old
est daughters had been gone about two

Mr.. Giguere, "is here. 1 objected to the
running of road house, but they die
not agree with me and chose TO remain
in the business. Consequently, l ordered
them out, and they went. They went
when I did not expect it, and took with
them everything in the house which
they could possibly carry away, leav-
Ing me with my little daughter to live
here"
He did not deny that the house had
been bad one, but now he claimed it
as good as any. The officers
were convinced that Gigueres story
was true and came home satisfied. Mr.
Giguere is. a wheelwright4 and wood
worker, being employed by Collette the
blacksmith whose place of business is
situated on Wall street, Spencer.
Giguere's oldest daughter is the one
who ran away with Robert Payne last
winter, an excellent account of which
was told exclusively in The Spy.
Rev. G. H. Dolan, pastor of the
Church of the Holy Rosary, preached
a very spicy sermon at first mass this
morning, in which he greatly objected
to his parishioners frequenting Lash
away park in the future, as much as
they have in the past. The reverend
gentleman is Of the opinion that there
are many vices for young people to be
led into at this summer resort, and de-
sires that his parishioners frequent it
as little as possible. 4f
He has no objections to his people
spending an afternoon in the park, but
he does object to their going there after
supper. Father Dolan considers the
park a very unsuitable place for his
young ladies to go without an escort,
nor even with an escort does he deem
1t right for them to go after dusk.
Although Father Dolan did not for
bid any of his people from going to the
park after twilight, he made an ear
nest request to them no to-
His sermon was very able one and
had a great effect and influence over
his hearers. The sermon this morning
will undoubtedly hurt the attendance
at the picnic to be held at Lashaway
park Fourth of July by st. Mary's
church Of Brookfield and st. PauPs
church Of Warren, as after the sermon
this morning many of the people in
Spencer will not go as they had before
planned
FIR. Dolan did not celebrate the sec
ond mass, but it was celebrated by Rev.
Andrew Casey of Denver, Col. who was
formerly a Spencer boy. FIR. Casey

Casey, of lower Main street A great
change in Mr.. Casey has come about
since his last visit to Spencer. AT that
time he was very slight, but now II ID
just the reverse.

Lamy was the scene OF two very pretty
weddings this afternoon. At s O'clock
