SALOON MEN ON
GUARD FOR
A RAID
Rumor that Prosecutor Boor-
aem Was in This City Kept
Place Dry.
POLICE ALSO WERE ON
THE ALERT ALL DAY
Several Suspicious Places
Watched But No Violations
Were Reported.

Certain saloonkeepers VINO, in srite
of the law, do not refuse, as rule, 10
leJ their friends have quiet drink on
Sundays, were wary yesterday, as re-
port was circulated that Prosecutor
Booraem and his automobile were in
town for the purpose Of making some
raids, such as he made at Cheesequakes
last Sunday.
Only those who knew the ropes could
get drink, and in general the lid was
ON tighter than it has been in some
time. The police were also keeping a
close watch on several suspicious places,
but did not report any violations Chief
Burke says that he believes the town
was pretty dry, and that it is likely
to be that way ON Sundays for SOME
time.
The chief, when asked if he had
heard that the prosecutor was in town,
said that he had not, and other efforts
to confirm the rumor were futile. For
the past three Sundays there has been
little liquor sold here, and, as result,
the ferry carried many to Tottenvilee
where, it is said, one can satisfy his
desires in the "thirst" line without
|any trouble.
At Cheesequake, yesterday, things
were very quiet Many of the old ia
miliar faces at Ye Olde Spye House
yesterday were conspicuous by their abb
sense from the vicinity.
