DRY LAW ENFORCEMENT

Prohibition or at least the kind Of prohibition on tap
in Washington does not to please large majority
of the citizens and so far Seattle is concerned does not
do great amount of prohibiting The newspapers daily
have stories about the rading OF some drug
store hotel club something of that kind with all kinds
and qualities of trouble following.
This morning the tale of one of these, the raid
ing of the Ferguson bar in the hotel of that by the
special squad used in enforcing the prohibition laws One
of the SQUAD was sent in the bar in advance to see If
he could get any Intoxicating liquor and when the others
entered he standing in front of the bar so 1t IS
claimed with glass of whiskey inhis hand.
This the evidence the party wanted but the
proprietor did not purpose letting them get away with it.
Boutwell, visitor drew his gun and ordered them out
of the house pistol battle followed in which two of the
raiding officers were wounded and Boutwell, killed 1t
would seem from this that prohibition its enforcement
has some evils too although would say that even in
this case 'whskey was the cause of it"
