| of Red Men Monday evening Clarence Hall
was elected and installed as sachem to fill
the vacancy caused by the resignation of
Rufus c. Barton. Other officers elected
were Henry Wescott as senior sycamore
and Jesse Weber as junior sycamore.
Regular meetings have been held all sum-
mer by the Tribe and the attendance at the
opening of the fall season is very good.
Several applications have been received for
degree work and there are indications of
very busy winter with the Red Men,
SEARCH AND SEIZURES. The past week
has been somewhat strenuous for the liquor
dealers in some parts of Waldo county, and
several new cases have been brought before
the court as result of repeated searches
by the sheriff and deputies. Last Wedues-
day deputies Ellis and Aurd searched the
Phoenix House and found quantity of
beer, wine, rum and whiskey, and the pro-
prietor, Robert Logan, was taken before the
Police Court Saturday and was given the
usual sentence of 60 days in Jail and 500
and costs. from which he appealed, furnish
ing bail for the Supreme Court in the sum
of $780,. The sheriff, assisted by deputies
Ellis and Hurd, searched the Windsor Ho-
tel Saturday afternoon and found small
quantity of whiskey and glasses from which
drink had been sold on the premises, and in
the cellar barrel hidden in the ground
containing 116 bottles of lager beer. Three
men were on the premises drinking The
proprietor, Edwin A. Jones, was taken be-
fore the Police Court Monday and Judge
Rogers gave him the same sentence as was
given in Logan's case, with the same dis
position. Jones was also taken on COM
plant for maintaining a nuisance, as a re-
suit of this and two previous searches since
April last, when men were found on the
premises drinking, and probable cause hav-
ing been found he was held on this COM
plant in the sum of $500 Those who are
really anxious that the prohibitory law
shall be faithfully and impartially enforced
are anXiously waiting to learn what will
come of these cases. Will they be brought
before the court as first offences and settled
with fine, or will they be overlooked and
not called up at all? The amount of evil
dence seems sufficient to place these Offend
ers out of business for awhile, but will it
be done? If not, the responsibility should
rest where it belongs Deputy Drake
searched the Frankfort House at Frankfort
last Saturday night and met with resistance
from the proprietor and four men partially
intoxicated on the premises They succeed
ed in spilling most of the liquor in spite of
off lint
to show that there had been such liquors in
the house when the officer entered, he hay
ing secured some empty bottles recently
emptled and whskey glass. 1t is well
known to the officers that Edward Hanson.
the proprietor, sells his goods from bottle
and glass carried in his clothing and keeps
but a small quantity on the premises at a
time, so that 1t has been somewhat difficult
to catch him. The deputy testified that
Hanson spilled the liquor which he had in
the sink, after he had struggled and got
past the officer, who was also bothered by a
man partly intoxicated who demanded to
see the warrant. Hanson testified that he
had no liquor and did not leave the officers
side from the time they first met. proving to
tnoSe VINO neaTu the testimony that some
one testified falsely, or was so intoxicated
that they did not know what did happen.
The court held that Hanson was guilty of
keeping liquor on the premises intended for
illegal sale and gave the usual sentence in
such cases and also found probable cause
for maintaining nuisance against him, so
that on both cases Hanson is held in the
sum of 500. Arthur Richie, Esq, appear
ed as counsel for Hanson.
