MANY SCHOLARS PASS.

One Hundred Twenty-Five Take Elk.
aminations for Admittance to High
Schools.
A marked increase in attendance of
pupils from the rural districts of the
county to the town schools, and es-
pecially the high schools, is predicted
to result from the examinations which
pupils of the rural schools took this
summer. The passing of these exam
nations makes it possible for those
who passed to be admitted to any
high school Of the county without ad-
ditional examination
OF the 129 who took the examina-
tons ninety eight passed The exam
nations We're in history, reading,
physiology, spelling, grammar, geog-
raIphy and arithmetic. The questions
were prepared by committee of prin-
cipals of the high schools of the coun-
ty who also examined the papers. The
certificates secured by those who
passed will admit them to the high
school of this city, State Center, Albion,
Liscomb, Rhodes, Melbourne, Gilman,
and LeGrand.
Judging from the number of in
quiries, regarding what school they
should attend, which have come to the
county superintendent office, Miss
iHostetler believes that the increased
attendance from the districts outside
of the towns will be marked.

MAKES BIG SEIZURE
Of LAUREL LIQUORS
Constable Wilson Raids Herman
Willis Place, Securing Two
Wagon Loads
TwENrY.sEvEN CASES OF BEER
And Different Kinds of Whistles
Brought Overland to This city-W.
II. Austin, Laurel Veterinary, swore
to Warrant-Thirsty Crowd From
Ball Game Disappointed.

One of the biggest liquor seizures IN
the history of the county was made at
Laurel about 5 o'clock Saturday even
ing. when Constable Walter Wilson,
on a search warrant from Justice
Peek's court. took charge of twenty
seven cases of beer and large quanti-
ties of whisky offered for sale at the
place Of Herman Willis. 1t required
two wagons to transport the liquors to
this city, where they are in the GUS
tody of the constable.
The search warrant was sworn to by
w. H. Austin a veterinary surgeon or
Laurel, who had brought the matter
before County Attorney Egermayer.
DR.. Austin also suggested The time for
the seizure, stating that he was sure
a good haul would be made immedi-
ately following the LAUREL Baxter bali
game on Saturday afternoon. Austin's
surnise proved correct.
E Liquor Labeled Beer.
Contrary to the usual findings In
liquor seizure cases, the liquors were
not labeled hop ale' or some other
fanciful name, but bore the brewery
labels of well-known brands Of beer,
three in number. Some, however, were
not labeled. In addition to the twenty
seven cases of beer, two two-gallon
jugs of whisky, four quart bottles OF
whisky, labeled. and one stone jug of
Bourbon. labeled "Norhausen Korn-
schnapps," were also seized.
Thirsty Crowd Appears,
Had Constable Wilson been fifteen
minutes later in his raid he would
to thirsty crowd of about fifty or
seventy-f1ve men, who returned from
the ball game. The men were greatly
disappointed, and attempted to get the
constable to leave the liquor there
while he went and ate his supper.
Willis also made request to the con-
stable, according to the officer, when
he made the raid. 1t was to the effect
that he, Wilson, go about his business
for an hour, and return and get the
liquor. The constable, however,
couldn't see things that way.
Wits Not Arrested.
Willis was not placed under arrest,
as no warrant was issued for him, in
view of the fact that the grand jury
will meet next week, and the case will
come directly before that body.
A little difficulty arose between
County ATTORNEY Egermayer and Sher-
If Hutson after the liquor had been
brought here. Constable Wilson had
no very good place to keep the spoils,
and the county attorney requested that
the sheriff take the liquor in charge
and keep it in the jail, This the sher-
iff refused to do, on the ground that 1t
was not his case, and he did not care
to take the responsibility. The sheriff
took the ground on an Interpretation
of the statute to the effect that the Of
ficer making the seizure is responsible
for the liquors. and must take them in
charge.
