POLICE RAID
HL|NO PIG"
(From Saturdays daily.l

On Friday evening Chief of Police
S. A. Pelton, Sheriff William Welk
and officer Herman c. Neitzel un-
expectedly inspected the Welk and
Vogler places in the search Of blind
pigs" and thereby hangs an interest
ing tale.
On Thursday the feet of George
Hickey, who conducts the American
cafe on Fourth street, became tangled
and the story was told that he had
obtained the intoxicants at places
near his restaurant. The story went
along from one person to another un-
til it reached the ears of District At
torney j. H. Hill, who ordered a sud-
den raid on the places.
At the William H. Vogler place
nothing was found that would indi-
cate a man could be intoxicated
There is big vault in the place
where a bank used to keep it's money
and Mr.. Vogler reported to the Off
GERS this was locked and he did not
know the combination. One of the
officers states that Mr.. Vogler told
them the combination Of the safe was
in possession of a local lodge.
Booze by the Case
At the place conducted by Herman
and F. G.. E. Welk several cases Of
beer were found and one bottle of
whiskey. The whiskey is in the pos
session Of the district attorney, and
three of the cases are in the court of
Justice Adolph andre. The bottles
are from the Effinger brewery and
look very much as if they contained
real beer. City officials were in the
justice court this morning and when
the top was removed from one of the
bottles they declared it was the gen
uine article-beer. 1t was too warm
to be really "good," but the most of
one flask disappeared.
The whole affair will be threshed
out in court later, Mr.. Hill being out
Of town
One Of the officers also states that
warning had been sent to the
places before the machinery of the
law was under full momentum.
