LIQUOR SEIZURES. Relieving that liquor
under the management of Robert Logan,
Sheriff Carleton took out warrant and
searched the premises Wednesday evening,
Dec. 18th, and was assisted by Deputies
Ellis and Cuddy. The officers found a
small quantity Of rum and whiskey and
evidence that the same were being sold by
the glass as well as by the bottle. Logan
was taken before Judge Rogers Dec. 18th
and sentenced to pay 500 and costs of
prosecution and in addition to 60 days in
Jail, from which he appealed to the supreme
court Thursday evening Deputies Ellis,
Hurd and Cuddy again searched the
Phoenix House but found no Intoxicating
liquors. The same evening Sheriff Garlic
ton and Deputy Drake searched the Hill
side House in Frankfort. This new hotel
is owned by W. S. Edminster, who has in
his employ as clerk Robert Evans, the we'll
known driver of trotting horses. The Of
ficers were successful in finding small
quantity of whiskey and we'll arranged
bar, showing that recent sales had been
made, and upon this evidence Edminster
was taken before the police court Monday,
and found guilty. He was sentenced to
pay 800 and costs and to 60 days in jail,
from which he appealed. Some may think
it strange that the officials do not succeed
in getting larger quantities of liquor, but in
no place where liquors are supposed to be
sold are there any large amounts kept in
stock. The dealers do not know when to
expect raid on their premises and in
every case have but few bottles at time.
Their supply is kept up as sales demand by
a second person, who brings in the supply
from some other building. 1t is also ar
ranged in all these places to have "dump"
under faucet so that all liquors may be
spilled at moments warning, and the
water turned on to remove all traces of
liquor or odor. All of which proves that
those who. sell are having some trouble to
keep from being caught, and why the officers
are unable to get such large quantities OF
liquor as in former times. The county as
whole is very free from liquor selling at
this time. Much liquor that is now con-
sumed comes from out the State by private
purchase.
