MORE BOOZE

Undersheriff Yearta and his men
were scouting for booze again yester
day afternoon and they made a haul
at the place kept by Tom Watts on
Second street. between Chickasha and
Kansas avenues and arrester Watts.
Yearta says he found one Of the
cleverest arrangements for concealing
booze that he has ever encountered
since Oklahoma went dry. Behind the
stove in the kitchen was a row of
shelves, apparently for the purpose Of
holding dishes. but the officers dis
covered that the shelves could be
pulled away, revealing holes in the
wall where the booze was found. The
liquor seized amounted to 1871 pints.
