officers called upon Mr. F. G. Holt and
Mr. Delbert Adams to assist them in
their search. For some time Mr.
Savage has had cause to suspect that
search was needed but hoped to
avoid it; he was finally satisfied that
1t was necessary and with proper
papers the officers and their aids en-
tered the building to begin the work.
While attending to their business, the
proprietor made a dastardly assault
upon Mr.. Holt, throwing him against

corner and was about to do him other
injury when Deputy Goodrich took a
hand In the affair. Deputy Goodrich
is big fellow and soon had Southland
lald out and promising better manners
Mr.. Holt has several severe bruises to
show from the encounter. There
isn't any doubt but that the selling is
unlawful and that the patience of our
officers and people is tried to the
limit. 1t is time for plain talk and
backbone. We are gratified by the
many commentators we hear for the
officers and the disgust expressed for
the assault, and thus Norridgewock
voices the sentiment ever growing for
full enforcement.
