Ames, Aug. 25.-F'or a long time It
has been asserted that there We're sew

OF liquorsin Ames. In fact 1t has been
q matter of current rumor and common
talk that several bootleggers in this
place have been doing land Office bus

Der of laborers employed on the railroad
In this vicinity These rumors We're
thoroughly discussed and examined into
at the Story county prohibition picnic
neld on the college campus last Friday.
II Was in dicated in strong terms that
the moral sentiment of this community
was slumbering and an effort was made
to publicly denounce the open violation
Of the law here and also to condemn the
/ action of one of Iowa's judges, who is
/ said to have refused to punish a@certain
1 wel-know11 Anles man, convicted of
bookkeeping, upon the solicitation OF in
I fuential friends. The sentiment of the
extremists. however, was not allowed
: to prevail, for the reason that 1t was
animated that there Was hen on,
and 1t was suggested by the most prom
y inent local prohibitionists that some
thing was liable to turn up shortly,
which would bring about solution Of
the matter.
The contemplated action took place
last night, when8the moral sentiment of
the community asserted itself. COM
mittee of ctizens-nerchants, preach J
s ers and professional men-in company
with an officer, raided the Illegal joints
for the purposc of obtaining evidence
which would lead to the conviction of
the guilty parties The reported inves-
LEGATIONS being made by the grand jury,
however. are said to have had the effect
OF temporarily driving the bootleggers
out of business, and in only one instance
did the raiders succeed in confiscating
any of the beverage that made NJ flwau-
skee famuos. AT this place they found
several men engaged in reducing the
contents of a kegsof beer. The key was
seized and aquantity taken out for the
q purpose of analyzation and the rest
locked up in the city Jail.
The men who interested themselves in
last night raid are among the most
prominent and substantial citizens of
! the community, and the proceedings in
sgdicate a determined effort to rid the
