The constables gathered up a has-
ket of bottled beer and few bottles
of whiskey and took them to the Jus

! liquid evidence.
There is licensed barroom on the
/ main floor of the hotel This bar
room meets the requirements of the
law, but the service bar on the roof
garden is a direct violation. 1t meets
none of the requirements of the law.
! Armed with search warrants, the
sheriff and a band OF deputies went
on hunting expedition into various
parts OF the county in search OF blind
! tigers. When the trip was concluded
the sheriff announced that he had
gathered enough evidence to show
that blind tigers had been in opera
ton in the Red Onion grocery. at
| Forty-second Street and Sangster Ave-
nue.. and at a railroad construction
camp, a few miles southwest OF the
city.
AS a result OF the sheriffs tour the
stock of confscated liquor ct the
! county Jail was increased by the ad-
dition OF six gallons of whiskey and
about five and one half barrels of bot
tied beer. May Quinn, who runs the
grocery store, and Sam Spass and

that they were in charge of the camp.
were placed under arrest.
! After bond had been provided for
the alleged offenders they were told
! to appear at 9 O'Clock next day In the
court OF Louis Kiefer. a justice Of the

continued until September l2. The

Sheriff Coffin had received COM
plants recently that liquor was being
sold at construction camp near the
new Indianapolis Railroad
line, at point about a mile south
west of the Indianapolis Country Club.
and he BEGAN an investigation. He
sent two OF his agents to the camp.
and they reported that they had

The sheriff and Deputies Schubert
and Fleming arrived at the camp sun

number OF them foreigners. drinking
beer and whiskey. A search OF the

and five-gallon jug of whiskey.
Sam Spass, who says he acts a. in
terpreter for the laborsra. admitted.
the sheriff says. that the beer and
whiskey belonged to him and that
he had been selling It. Spas told the
sheriff that Bebelkovioh was tho ''chief
cook and bartender at the camp. and
had made most Of the sales. The
liquor was loaded on . large motor
truck and hauled to the Jail to be
used ~ evidence.
1t has been pointed out as a rather
unusual coincidence that In three raids
made by county officials recently po-
licemon have been found in the
places or arrived later. When a SQUAD
Of constabies raided several resorts
in East Court Street a few weeks ago
two patrolmen were found coming out
| OF one or the houses Just as the con-
stables entered. Another policeman,
known az Scrappy Mcdonald. who has
since been promoted, was found
among the jewellers at the Oakley Club
roadhouse when 1t was raided a short
time ago.
He was sitting at a table. with the
violation OF the law going on all
around him. That happened on Sat-
urday night. The following Wednes-
day he was promoted to bicycleman.
! An automobile containing two men
and two women stopped At the Quinn
! woman's place while tine raid was In
progress. The men went inside. but
no sooner stepped in the door when
the Quinn woman greeted them by
saying:
you're Just a little late. boys din
ner IL all over"
They seemed to understand what
she meant and drove away.
