Result of Raids on Nez Perez whisky
Sellers PIeases Department.

LEWISTON, Idaho, July 22.--
When United States Court Commits
sioner Omen held Ed Cassons OF Neg
Perez to await the action of the grand
jury under a charge of selling liquor
and introducing 1t on the Indian res
eryation, the first government raid
closed for a while, although the Sc
quel will occur when the federal
grand jury convenes in November.
Special Officer Sam Cone and Joseph
Matulys have been at work on the
reservation for three months. but they
struck the first blow three weeks
ago when they raided seven towns
and destroyed $500 worth of liquor.
AS result of that raid 22 complaints
were filed and 20 counts were suflc-
lent to warrant the men being held
to the district court. In one case
the man arrested turned states evil
dence and secured his liberty because
he agreed to assist the government,
and in one case the evidence was in
sufficient to hold the defendant.
1t is not yet fully understood how
thoroughly the government officers
swept the liquor on the reservation,
but it is believed that the work will
have salutary effect. The bootleg
gers will be more cautious and more
expedients will be resorted to in order
to carry on the business. but Indian
Agent o. II. Lipps declares that the
department expects to stamp out the
traffic and that the fight will be waged
permanently.
