SEIZED THE LIQUOR.
Over a Hundred Gallons of 1t
Seized at the o Depot.

There was little scene at the O..
depot last Saturday afternoon about 2
O'Clock, the principal actors being
Mayor Woodland, Marshal Benefiel, and
deputy sheriff Keller.
For long time there has been
practically no restraint on the shipping
OF Intoxicating liquors to parties In Leon
and the surrounding country. Scarcely
a day has passed but what there has been
one or more liquor statesmen in Leon
taking orders. There are also several
local agents who do nothing for living
but take orders for liquor.
Almost every train that comes to Leon
has had consignment of liquor and in
great many cases the orders were
taken and the liquor shipped G. o. D..
by express, the party receiving it pay.
ing the express agent when he got the
goods. This is held to be violation of
the law, and Mayor Woodland decided
to put stop to the traffic. so Marshal
Benetiel swore out a search warrant to
search the Office Of the Adams Express
Company at the q depot When the
raid was made there were about hun.
dred boxes found which contained gal.
Ion and two gallon jugs of whiskey
which were marked G. o. d. and they
were hauled to the jail and locked up.
Many more had been taken out before
the raid was made. The liquor seized
was only that which came G. o. D. as
under the law the officials are powerless
to prevent liquor being shipped in which
| is bought in other states. The trial of
! the whiskey is set for next Tuesday be.
fore Justice Beck, and the express com.
pany has been notified to appear and
show cause why it should not be de.
stroyed.
The action of Mayor Woodland is
heartily endorsed by all law abiding
citizens. 1t is said there are more
whlskey travelling men who come to
Leon than grocerymen, and the Mayor
proposes to see if stop can not be put to
the business. He has also notified the
restaurants that they must not allow
parties to drink liquor in their rooms.
The seizure of the liquor put a
decided stop to the drunkennessland
rowdyism which existed in this town
/ for three days year ago. Saturday
night the streets were deserted instead
of being filled with drunken men and
boys, and the officials had no trouble
The outcome of the trial over the
liquor will be watched with interest.

OF conversation generally discover that
some relative Of the one is known to
the other. In this way the acquaintance
grows apace, the wives being drawn
into 1t also. Under such conditions
future meetings present no social DIFF

point where it had arrived. Intimacy
is the word which best describes the
companionship that eRsues between
congenial people thrown together when
travelling in the beaten track or in
out-of-the-way places. At home the
hurry Of business and pleasure DO not
