DISCOVER
Hidden BOOZE ! !
IN A RAID OFFICERS FIND WET
GOODS SECURELY STORED
AWAY BENEATH FLOOR AT
PLACE RUN BY THE I'm AND
OUT KID"

In a raid on the building occupied
by Wallace, the "In and Out Kid" and
one Teschener, on Ward street near
the Rex hotel, the police discovered a
very clever plant for booze. To cas-
ual observer the boards of the floor
appeared to match perfectly, but there
was one board that could be raised,
and few feet away another. Looking
into either hole, no trace Of any wet
goods could be found. Reaching un-
der the floor rope run over pulleys
was found and the rope extended thru
long can hidden away back under the
floor. BY pulling on one end of the
rope, the booze came to light, when
it could be pulled back from the other
end. !.
A raid was made on Greek shack
along the G. N. and considerable liquor
found hidden under barrels and boxes.

WEEDS ALONG THE ROAD.

The, weeds along the road will hold
snow. In some cases they will hold so
much snow that the road becomes i'm
passable and the result is driving
across the field and in some cases cut
ting of fences. Now is the time to re-
move those weeds so as to keep the
snow from drifting onto the road bed.
Watch the roads next winter and it
will be surprising how few weeds it
sometimes takes to stop a lot Of snow.

BISMARCK PEACE OFFICERS
PLACED UNDER ARREST

On warrant sworn out by one
George Harrie, an itinerant Assyrian
peddler, Police Magistrate w. S. Cas-
selman, Chief Of Police George Fortune
and Special Officer Charles Mason, of
Bismarck, were placed under arrest
Tuesday, charged iwth grand larceny.
In his complaint, Harrie alleges that
/ he was arrested in that city on Sept.
"a, for peddling without license, and
THAT he was taken before Judge Cassel-
man. where 'mock" trial was held,
as result of which he was set back
something like $46 and q portion OF his
pack, after which he was driven TO the
river in an automobile and instructed
I to keep right on going, and TO never
come back.
Preliminary to the issuance Of the
warrants of arrest, the houses OF Cas-
selman and Fortune were searched by
Constable Watkins, armed with search
warrants, and while nothing Of an IN
terminating nature was found at the
ICasselman home, some goods which
I the Assyrian claimed to be able to
identify as his were found at Mr.. For
tunes residence. These goods were
appropriated by the constable, and will
be used as evidence at the trial Of the
accused men.
Pending the outcome Of his trial,
Mr.. Fortune has been temporarily sus-
pended from the force, at his own re-
quest, and in the meantime the chiefs
duties are being discharged by Capt.
Downing.
The finding of certain goods in the
home Of the chief, which the peddler
iclaims were taken from him without
his consent, may or may not have 9
bearing on the case. We understand
that Chief Fortune claims to have pur-
chased these goods from the peddler,
and that he has witnesses to prove his
assertion. i3
