The sheriff's office raided the pool porium of Fritz Martin at Tempe yesterday afternoon and returned with MT. Martin, c. E. Moremen, a barber. and Charles Nelson, colored, porter in his barber shop As ex- hibits there were brought along two kegs of Grown Cider" one of them filled and the other partly filled. There were other exhibits which were not brought along. The cider was believed to be enough. The cider is the provisions of the pure food law it bears a label describing the ingre dients. It is stated that it is "forti- fled with cane sugar" It is judged Yfrom the effects of it, manifested ir the streets of Tempe that it needs no fortification. It is said to be strong enough to resist the 42 centi- meter guns which knocked the for tifications of Liege and Namur to pieces.
 It had been assaulted in vain by Moremen and Nelson who disagreed as to the amount of it they consum- ed According to Moremen they had drunk quart and half. Nelson |estimated their inroads at four quarts. Moremen admitted that that might be so but he could recall only quart and a half when he went to bed in the middle of the afternoon. Nelson regretted that he had not gone to bed, too, instead of parading the street bowling like a wild Comanche. It was this advertise ment that directed attention to the potency of the drink.
 There had been some talk of a bottle of whisky which Nelson said Moremen had had in his room. More men he said had told him to go there and get a drink. He took four, all that was left, and then he went to bed. Some attempt had been made by MT. Martin to associate this event with the drinking of the cider Du; according to Nelson that happened more than a week ago. Moremen said it never happened at all; he knew nothing about a bottle or whisky. The inquiry by County At torney Candy and Sheriff Adams was temporarily diverted from the subject of Crown Cider to that bot tie of whisky and it led into the love affairs of Mir. Moremen. Moth ing. however. came of it.
 As to the cider, Mir. Martin said he bought it on the assurances of the agent that it was not injurious. He had had it since the middle of June and had sold only four gallons. He noticed that many of his customers never asked for it the second time whence he was led to conclude that it was not a dangerously seductive beverage.
 Samples of each keg were taken by Dr. Watkins who will report to- day as to the alcoholic content, if any, and if it should be found that there is none further analysis of it will be made to determine just what there is in it that sets ordin- arily level headed citizens to climb ing trees or going to bed in the af- ternoon in a cataleptic state.
