A BOOZE Receptacle
ELLIS AND WILKINSON DO A LIT

OF JOE PATTERSON.

Closely following on the heels Of

morning, the city police department
made one OF the biggest booze hauls
recorded here in some time when
they located a liquor store house in
the bottom OF clstern in the negro
quarters Of the city. City Detectives
Ellis and Wilkinson decided that
booze was being stored In the vicinity
Of Joe Patterson's home on Norfolk
avenue.
Numerous searches there before had
given up nothing, but the officers were
not discouraged and yesterday they
visited the place. one OF them was
lowered into the cistern in the rear
Of the house, and the long sought for
hiding place was discovered.
In the swag was beer, whlskey, gin,
