Miss Lorenna E. Crenshaw died at.

For many years her home has been in

member of the Yorkville Presby-
rian church, having Joined on October

etery.
In spite of the unfavorable weather,
there was quite a large crowd of peo-
pie at Rimball's auction sale Of western
horses In Barron Bros lot yesterday
morning. Many Of the people came
from long distances, especially to at
tend the sale. Mr.. Kimball offered
twenty eight horses In all. 1t was the
best lot of animals that he has yet
brought here. That Is the opinion ex-
pressed by various local judges Of horse
flesh But the average price at which
the horses sold was low. The prices
ranged from S25 to SIS. One man, Mr..
w. r. Carroll, bought dozen Of the
ranged fromas25 to s75. Although the
general impression was that most OF
the horses sold at far less than their
value, Mr. Kimball was game and made
no complaint Mr.. w. r. Carroll
bought fourteen of the horses and Mr.
Louis Roth bought half dozen.
Wright made a raid on the two local
drug stores Wednesday morning, seiz-
ing a quantity Of Hostetter's bitters,
Harter's bitters, Peruna, malt and also
from the York Drug store ten quarts of
corn whisky. The bitters, malt and
Peruna were seized out Of stock. the
whisky was found in the York Drug
store in a case marked to ]. B. Bowen,
and was as 1t had been received except
for the removal Of two quart bottles.
DR.. Bowen states that 1t was his pri-
.vate property ordered for his personal
use. All Of the seized goods were load
ed on wagon and turned over to
Sheriff Brown for safe keeping. Drs.
Bowen and Shieder were arrested on
the charge Of selling intoxicating IL
quors in violation Of the dispensary
law, and gave bond for their appear
ance at q hearing to be held before
Magistrate Conner tomorrow. The un-
derstanding is that the seizures are the
result of operations that have been
in progress for some time past by the
town authorities working in connection
with the state constabulary. There was
a detective here some time ago repre-
.senting himself as a drug salesman,
but really in the employ of the constab-
ulary. He devoted himself especially
to the work Of getting information as
- .ho t,ind 80 totovioa pfo that yoer,a oh
tainable in Yorkville, and furnished
Chief Hammet with detailed state
ment of the result Of his Investigations
together with diagrams Of the inte-
riors of the two drug stores and OF other
places that came under his suspicion.
Information has also been collected as
to the purchasers of bitters, malt and
other preparations that are generally
understood to be in more or less pop
ular demand These alleged purchas-
ers will be summoned to testify. AS
we understand the druggists do not
deny having sold the preparations seiz-
ed: bue claim to have sold them only
for medicinal purposes. One Of the
most popular of the preparations that
has been on sale here, as we'll as one
Of the most notorious, is called Meat
and Malt" This, its manufacturers
claim, IS a medicinal tonic; but people
who buy it say that 1t is little else
than whisky or diluted alcohol to which
has been added little extract Of beef.
Several offenders who have been before
the mayor on the charge Of being drunk
and disorderly have attributed their
misfortunes to Meat and Malt" There
was no Meat and Malt" included In
the seizure. The total value Of the
seizure was somewhere between $25
and $50.
