Police Arrest Man Loaded Down With
Whisky Bottles.

Charged with bootlegging whisky.
D. Hayden, arrested yesterday and re-
leased on SO bond, will have a hear
ing this afternoon before Police Judge
S. S. Urmy. When arrested Hayden
had on his person two pint bottles. sew
eral half pints, and three or four
smaller bottles ranging in size down to
two ounces. The contents were of
different varieties, some of them heav-
lily doped with snuff. The arrest was
made by officer James and these glass
receptacles proved an interesting col
lection in the window of the police
station.
According to the authorities the
formula from which the whisky, or
pseudo whisky is made, is one gallon
alcohol which can be purchased and
sent here for $3.50; three gallons of
rain water; two pounds of brown SUI
gar, 10 cents; cochineaI, 10 cents; MAX
ing four gallons of the drink at an ag-
gregate cost of $2.70.
Retailed at the present price charged
by bootleggers which is 81 for each
half pint one can figure their own
profit. It is said that the formula
used by Hayden was the same as the
above only that he added a quantity OF
snuff, bringing the original cost to a
triffe more the above figure.
