THREE LIQUOR
SEIZURES MADE
IN THREE DAYS
Raids By Moorhead Chief
Believed Cause For Ship
ments Here
312 PINTS PACK
SHERIFF'S VAULT
Parties to be Given Hearing
Before Judge II. F.
Miller

Assistant States Attorney William
C. Green and Deputy Sheriff John c.
Ross, Jr., have big doubts as to
whether the sundry shipments of whis
key-96 pints Wednesday morning, 96
pints Thursday morning and SO pints
this morning-all consigned to four
persons, who are believed to live in
Moorhead, are for personal use."
Because of this problematical sit
uation, seizures have been made Of the
boxes consigned to ]. G.. Ramsey, Her
man Myers, John Bryce and Homer
Ayers. Following an invoice of the
contents, the men will be given a hear
ing before Judge Miller some time
next week to make known whether the
liquor was shipped for their personal
use, or if in violation of the law, or
failure to appear, the contents will be
destroyed.
The seizures this week were made
under Section 10,113, Compiled Laws
of 1913 of the state of North Dakota by
which any peace officer may make
seizures providing he has reasonable
grounds that the liquor was imported
in violation of the law. Seizures can
be made with or without warrants.
Recent seizures made by Chief Of
Police Malvey on the Moorhead side,
are thought by the Cass county officers
to have started agents in directing
shipments to Fargo. In order to evade
the law, it is said, the shipments to
these parties have been made over
nearly every transportation line oper-
ating in Fargo.
In getting supplies, the Moorhead
men, it is believed by the assistant
states attorney, have agents who
peddle it on this side of the river.
An invoice of the contents taken at
the office of the sheriff this morning
for the purpose of filing information
with a justice of the peace. disclosed
that the liquor was all of a cheap
quality and for the most part the
shipments consisted of pints.
A case Of pints consigned to a per-
son whose name is withheld by the Of
ficers, was taken by the officers in
connection with the seizure this morn
ing, thus making total Of 312
pints taken from local transportation
offices within the last three days. AS
a. result the vault in the sAeriff's Office
is nearly filled.
OF the seizures and arrests made
during the year, the evidence taken
has usually been a pint bottle of whis-
key, which seems to enjoy the biggest
illegal sale.
In face of the bone dry" law which
becomes effective in North Dakota
July !, excluding all liquor from the
state and even literature and news
ments, deputy sheriffs and the assist
ant states attorney have been kept
active watching all shipments ready
to seize them, if the officers think that
they are made for stocking up" pur-
poses.

HER HAIR GET GRAY
SHE KEPT HER LOCKS DARK AND
GLOSSY WITH SAGE TEA
AND SULPHUR.

When you darken your hair with
Sage Tea and Sulphur, no one can tell,
because it's done SO naturally. SO
evenly. Preparing this mixture, though,
at home Is mussy and troublesome. For
SO cents you can buy at any drug store
the ready-to-use preparation, improved
by the addition Of other ingredients,
called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" You just dampen sponge
or soft brush with it and draw this
through your hair, taking one small
strand at time. BY morning all gray
hair disappears and, after another ap-
plication or two, your hair becomes
beautifully darkened, glossy AND lux
uriant. .,
Gray. faded hair, though no disgrace,
Is sign OF old age, and as we all
desire youthful and, attractive ap-
pearance, get busy at once with Wyeth's
Sage and Sulphur Compound and look
years younger. This ready-to use
preparation Is delightful toilet re-
quisite- and not a medicine. 1t is not
intended for the cure. mitigation or
prevention of disease.

June Caprice, in Every Girls
Dream" which is the current offering
at the Casino, is probably the best
photo drama that this favor'te has ever
done. It is filled with exciting in
trigue and adventure. and contains as
sweet a love story as one would wish
to see.
The story Is laid in Holland. June
Caprice, as Gretchen, foster child.
loves Carl, woodcutter. Hulda is
jealous and tries to steal him from
Gretchen. Mynher de Haas, the town
capitalist, withered old man, wants
to marry Gretchen, but she puts him
off despite the urging Of her foster
mother, on whose home Mynher holds
mortgage. One day Carl is kidnapped
The next day royal messengers appear
and order all foster damsels to search
their belongings for a certain locket.
The owner is a lost princess. Hulda
seeks in vain, but finds the jewel in
Gretchen's possession and steals it..
She goes to meet the prince, when an
old man steps from the coach. Think
ing he il the prince, Hulda confesses
she stole the gem from Gretchen. The
old man then announces the prince.
He is Carl. During the rejoicing a
messenger arrives, announcing the
death Of the king. Carl Is proclaimed
king, asks Gretchen to be his queen,
and the picture closes amid great re-
joicing.
Miss Caprice outdoes herself in this
play, and her acting is most ingenious.
Too much can not be said for her sup
port. Kittens Reichert is as sweet and
mischievious as ever. Harry Hilliard,
as the lost prince Is fine. Margaret
Fielding does good work as June's rival

sufferer for some time. He had been
in falling health for Ave months, and
had been belfast for the past eleven
weeks.
MIR. Cotton was native of Kidder-
minister, England. where he was born
Feb 81, 1857, a son Of Amos and Mary
Ward Cotton. The family came to this
country in 1859 and the elder Cotton
found employment in Philadelphia as a

lnstails More Equipment.
In order to handle this volume OF
business and not interfere with it's
city work, an investment Of $4,000 in
more machinery has been made. Tag
ging, marking and pressing machines,
a big drying lumber, an extractor,
washing machines and baskets were
bought, and the numbers of employees
will be increased. The soldiers laun-
dry is expected to be received twice .

The additional equipment and help so
increases the capacity of the laundry
that the city work will not be inter-
