Large Beer Shipment

Minot, March Estates Attorney O.
3. Herigstad and Deputy Sheriff Shir-
ley made raid on aSscarload of beer
last evening which was being shipped
into the city for a group Of blind pig
gers, and confscated the entire sup
ply. There were 40 barrels Of beer in
the car and the price of the liquid at
retail is about $36 per barrel, it is evil
dent that the exchequer of the booze
vendors was materially depleted by the
action of the officers. One of the par
ties to whom a part of the load was
consigned has confessed that the plan
of the blind piggers at this time is to
get in large stocks of goods before the
bone dry law which has just been pass
ed by congress becomes effective. The
shipment seized last evening was con-
signed to a number of persons, some
of them we'll known violators of the
law in the past and others of the con-
signees being intimate friends and
boon companions of these piggers.

Observation-Disclosures
Raised Firms Check

Jamestown, March 4.-V. J. Flynn,
bookkeeper for the Wolf-Matchie
Clothing company, who suddenly dis
appeared Feb. 20, raised a check issued
by the clothing concern from SIS to $95,
it was announced today by Rufus
;Matchie, of the clothing firm. Flynn
asked his employer If he could 60 out
for few minutes, but he never return
ed. No significance was attached to
the incident, other than to wonder
where the young man had gone, until
today when the raised check was dis.
covered. Flynn wrote out the check
for the VIOLIN atchie company in his
capacity as bookkeeper. On Feb. 20,
he asked his employer for IS. He made
out the check for that amount himself
and his employer signed it. In making
out the check, however, he wrote the
five" and IS" over far enoug in the
line so that he could easily insert the
word ninety" and the figure 80" be-.
for the other characters. He cashed
the check and left Immediately after
ward. The company will make con-
certed effort to find the young man and
will prosecute him when he is found,
it was declared.
