that gallons of alcohol colored with "a
burnt sugar substance were strained,
thereby becoming whisky.
The raid on the drug store was
watched by several hundred persons
who fattened their noses against the
window and saw the destruction
of perfumes. candies. a costly soda
fountain, valuable show cases, cigars
tobaccos, a miscellaneous drug stock
and a quantity of other smaller and
less valuable items.
