The Enforcement Deputies
Make More Big Seizures
Express Companies Of This
City interviewed, THURSDAY.
The Liquor Seized includes whiskey, Bee,
and Wiae..-AlI liheIIed,

The enforcement deputies had a
busy day, yesterday, and gathered in
the largest harvest of forbidden bover
ages that has been their luck since
they arrived in the city, last Satur-
day evening. 1t was also the largest
seizure of liquor that has been made
in Augusta since the dry" season be-
gan, about two years ago. 1t woull
appear, i'm the light of these events.
that the city is being pretty thorough
as far as the retail trade is concerned,
it bids fair to become a dry and arid
waste. with scarcely an oasis at which
the thirsty may find relief.
The attention of the deputies. YES
terday. was devoted to the different
express offices of the city, and as the
result thereof some of the inhabitants
who were awaiting the arrival of GER
tain packages, yesterday, found that
they had been delayed in transmission,
and that instead of coming into their
hands they had found a temporary
resting place in a certain cellar in an
other part of the city.
The work began in the early morn
ing. when Deputies Stevens, Pare anI
Tibbetts called at the American Ex-
Eress office, and looked over the pack
ages that were awaiting delivery.
Their call was not without satisfac-
ton to them. inasmuch as when they
left they carried with them four
boxes. each of which contained so pint
bottles of whiskey and a quart of wine,
and also a box containing dozen
long neckers" of whiskey and a quart
of wine. They also visited the office
of HOyt's express, but found a clean
bill.
Soon after train No. 1 came in, the
team of the Boston & Augusta Express
Co. came down off of Commercial
street. and as 1t contained sundry kegs
and boxes, it was held up by the depu-
ties as coon as it reached Water street
Deputy Stevens mounted the seat with
the driver, and after the team had
proceeded few rods up the street
Deputy Tibbetts. in order to satisfy
himself that they We're on the right
trail, opened one of the boxes in the
wagon, and found a five-gallon key
within. The deputies then went with
the wagon to the cOmpany's Office at
the upper end of Water street, where
they found three more boxes, two of
which contained five-gallon kegs of
whiskey. and the third. 40 pint bottles
Of whiskey. These. with the two half
barrels of beer which were in the wag-
on. and the key mentioned above COM
pleted the list taken from the COM
pany.
The third and last seizure for the
day was made at the Maine Central
freigh- shed. just before noon, when
the deputies found three sugar barrels
filled with bottled lager beer. The
liquor seized during the forenoon was
stored and Iibeiied in accordance with
the law.
