HARVEY RAIDS BRING ON AR
RESTS OF ELEVATOR AND
BANK AMONG OTHERS.

Fessenden, N. D., Oct. 9.-The en-
forcement of the prohibition law
reached its climax yesterday when
Sheriff Lyness of Fessenden went to
Harvey with posse armed to the teeth
with writs of injunction and warrants
of arrest
The injunctions were against the
Bank of Harvey, the Fisher Grain ele-
vator and the Renfree Grain elevator.
Many alleged blind piggers were ar
rested, among them an aged woman
named Mrs. Wibery, who was, however,
released on her own recognizance, she
being old and cripple. The other
piggers are professionals.
The Bank Of Harvey is charged with
selling bills of lading promiscuously
for quantities of liquor, kept at the
railroad depot for that purpose. 1t is
claimed that the elevators gave a bot
tie of beer back wrapped up in the
sacks of every load Of wheat they pur.
chased. The town Of Harvey is up in
arms and claim that it is spite work
of the other nearby towns to close up
the town of Harvey anu thereby reap
benefit. It is a question if bank
can be thus closed for being thus indi-
rectly connected with it.
