Two Cases-Anniversary Mass for
l'Union ST. Jean Baptiste Members
ILLUSTRATED Lecture.

War against the illegal sale of liquor
in Killinglg has been declaerd. The
first SlirmiSh to determine just where
it is being sold came Saturday. when
deputy sheriffs, constables, a chief of
police and special officers, not to for
get q dozen or more prominent and
active temperance workers, to a total
number of score swooped down on
three places suspected of doing bust
ness. This move was something of
surprise, after long months during
which there have been no raids, but
great amount Of talk.
The first onslaught of what is under
stood as a rapid fire campaign was
directed againt the Central house, the
Eli Dagenias place in the basement of
the Evans building, and the Joseph
BaStien place, in the Winkleman block,
lower Main street
Deputy Sheriff John Fits of Hamp-
ton, with assistants, made the search
at the Central house. They found
nothing but empty bottles.
At Bastien's place Chief George M.
Pilling and Constable Louis Barstow
had better luck. They got a half pint
of whiSkey and half pint of gin from
the pocket of a coat hanging in the
back room. Bastien's house was also
searched. but the officers found no
LIQUOR there.
The big show. however, was at Da-
genias place. The basement has al
ways been a puzzle to the raiders. 1t
was the point of Capitalization Sat1r-
day afternoon, not only for the officers,
including Deputy Sheriff Michael
Grimshaw and his assistants Emory
Anderson and Eugene Gibney. but also
for the citizens and ministers who are
interested in making Killingly real
no-license town.
The officers found Mr.. Dagenias "at
home arrested him and relieved him
n a half mint bottle containing ytYl1fS-
key, which he was carrying in his
pocket
He will appear in the town court
for hearing relative to the matter
this (Monday) morning Mr.. Bastien
could not be found Saturday evening.
The raid caused a fiutter of excite
ment for a few minutes and no doubt
some anxiety.
