were placed in the hands of Sheriff
Miller Friday night last and he made
a raid on three supposedly soft drink
refreshment parlors at Hub City the
same night. The places were operat-
ed by Louis Barreau, Thos. Lebansky
and Ray Guthrie, all former saloon
keepers, and the official found and
took possession of 50 cases of beer,
one barrel of whiskey, keg of wine
and a few other packages of spirits
of different kinds. The load was
brought to this city and the prop
rietors appeared on Saturday before
Judge McCorkle, each entering pleas
of guilty to the charge of having sold
intoxicating drinks without the neces-
sary license. Fines of $50 each were
levied, which. together with costs
amounted to about $40 each, which
were paid. The seized goods were
ordered destroyed by the sheriff with
the exception of that taken from the
Barreau place, and in the case of that
an adjournment was allowed to per-
nit of proof being brought to sub
stantiate the claim on the part of
Barreau that all of the goods were
not his property. Sheriff Miller pulled
corks and dumped some twenty five
cases of beer into the sewer at the
Jail Monday afternoon.-R ichland
