clean raid on the soft drink ern-

was planned and executed quiet
ly, and the news of the move
nent was not known, until after
it had been pulled off. IL bar
rels, containing pint bottles OF
drinks alleged to be beer, of the
Intoxicating species was cOnfis-
Gated. and upon the order OF JUS
tice Seybold, the confscated Ii

O'Clock A. III. Meanwhile Atkins

Result of Watch.
1t is said that the raid Thursday
morning, on the Atkins stand, is
the result of several weeks
watch, by the city ami county
officials. on the room raided. Sus-
picious stories. had been afloat,
and the prosecuting attorney
posted his pickets. who awaited
their opportunity. The gist of the
runor continues that the beer
had been imported into this city
from Walkerton. and is diSpens-
ed here, to local patronage. The
II barrels conhscated Thursday
morning are saEp to have been inn
imported from Wake ton We'd
nesday night. They are packed
in sugar barrels and contain sew
eral dozens of pint bottles.
An examination of the con-
hscated liquor, Thursday P. M.
shows that the liquor is bottled
in many different brand of bot
ties. Some of the bottles contain
the brand OF the Columbia Brew
ing Co. Chicago. III. Bergllofl
Brewing Co.. Fl. Wayne, Ind.
Indianapolis Brewing Co., and
other firms. Only one bottle oi
what appeared to be temperance
beer was found in the lot. which
was a pint bottle OF Hop Cream
To Prove Substance.
1t lies with the prosecuting at
torney to prove that the conhs-
caed propery contains the propel
amount of alcohol, to make the
case for the state. 1t is probable
that the defence will be that IL
quor seized in the raid is non-in
toxicating. Hiram f Atkins. pro
pretor of the business was pres
ent when the officers raided tht
room, searching the ice+boxe'
and counters, and the entire
room and basement in Their
search.

quietly executed, and did not a
all resemble the notorious Cul
yer raid, made by officials a cou
pie OF years ago. The following
