Tho new local option law was given
N inning yesterday and about two
draw loads of liquor seized. The
largest and only important find was
made at the old opera house, where
the liquors were hauled a few days
aro The wonder is that any liquor
Was found, for the reason that notice
was served upon all supposed viO-
,ators more than week ago, giving
Them seven days in which to clean
IN their places and secrete the goods
As a result of such notice the sus-
nected places were on their good
behavior and Showed good" to the
searchers. Some finds were never
theless made, and two or three cases
may result.
Deputy Sheriff Atwood swore out
warrants for the search of the prem
ses of Joe Gish, the American Falls
restaurant, the Cottage Hotel, and
the residences of Asa Church and
r. L. Baringer. In retaliation Asa
Church made affdiavits upon which
Mr Atwood swore out warrants for
the searth of the Hotel Remington,
and the residences of Village Truste
Moth, Sparks and Line. The search
ing party was made up of Sheriff
Davis, Deputy Sheriff Atwood, Mar
shal Watts, Trustees Sparks and
Line. The result of the search was
as follows:
Old opera house owned by w. D.
Barnhart, six barrels of liquor,
eight kegs of liquor, six .demiojhns,
one jug, two boxes of liquor in bot
tiles, one opened barrel of liquor in
bottles, five unopened barrels of
liquor in bottles, one barrel of liq-
nor Grated. The tags had been re-
moved from the barrels and cases,
80 that ownership could not be fix
led, but Mr.. Barnhart stateG that
the liquors belong to Joe Gish, ana
are being stored for him. Mr.. Barn
hart will have to answer for the
possession of the goods contrary to
law.
At the residence of E. L. Barrin-
ger, which adjoins the Cottage hotel
conducted by him, were found one
oarrel OF bottled beer, four barrels
OF empty beer bottles, two empty
wnlskey kegs and two empty demi

mat these bottles were in the rooms

at least indicates that Mr.. Barring
CT Is IN need of housekeeper.
In the room in the hotel occupied
oy Barringer's cigar store a coal
uoA was found concealing a hole in
he floor which connected with a
,ehar underneath. Said hole was
