DEPOT RAIDED,

Sheriff Severn and States Attorney
Baldwin made a raid in Courtenay
last night and captured 80 kegs of
rich, brown, foaming beer-in the
500 depot where it waited various
owners, to some of whom it was billed
direct, to others in fictitious names
and signs. The 500 agent, L. v.
Brown, was placed under 5000 bonds
to appear before Justice Gaffney here
Aug. Fl when a preliminary hearing
will be had. w. Thayer and John
Murphy, Of Courtenay, went on the
bonds of the agent and he was not
brought down here.
The new Jail at Courtenay was
dedicated with the contraband goods
which were locked in it.
The testimony in the case was se-
cured by a couple agents of the state
Enforcement league who, it is said,
bought bottles of beer of the agent,
paid for them and drank them in the
depot. Also that they sent in and
received from the agent and paid for
case of beer.-capital.

Maitre Labori, Dreyfus' chief
counsel, was shot in the back by
an assassin while on his way to
court martial last Monday.
Such deeds are only calculated
to strengthen the opinion of the
innocence of Dreyfus and to
cause a public uprising in his
favor. The whole trouble seems
to be a terrible hatred of the
Jewish race and the case of
Dreyfus in our opinion is the
worse case Of persecution of
modern times. It is a disgrace
to the French republic and the
more the trials opened up, more
filth and corruption in Official
life in France is exposed. Were
the trial to take place in this
country Dreyfus would soon be a
free man.

proceeds to run down the pro.

breath says that said law is un-

how that the law is inconsistent,
then in his paper put in sledge

isn't inconsistent then we will
quit. He let's out a prolonged
wall about the prohibition law
infringing on personal liberty, in
that it tries to regulate what a
