Six pounds of coffee and two and
half pounds of tea were captured
by state officers in raid on the
home of Mrs. Mary M. Merriam
last night.
The officers secured their clue
from an empty coffee can which had
been thrown into the garbage can
and was reported to the authorities
by Garbage Collector Caesar Mont
morency.
The raid was cleverly planned.
Officers were stationed at the rear
door and at all the windows and
Chief Officer Hired knocked on the
front door. Mrs. Merriam, an aged
woman, answered the bell herself.
Officer Hired smelled the odor of
tea as soon as the door was opened.
Pushing past Mrs. Merriam he
rushed into the kitchen where he
saw coffee pot boiling.
Mrs. Merriam made no attempt to
escape and she admitted that the
coffee was here She said she had
purchased it before the national an
ti-coffee-and-tea act went into eff
feet, January !.
She was arrested and taken to the
police station, where her bond was
fixed at $4,000, which she was un-
able to furnish. The states case is
said to be complete as a witness has
been found who will testify that
Mrs. Merriam gave her half cup of
coffee while she was sick several
weeks ago.

school worker was cleared Of bootleg
ging charge that had been lodged
against him when the Monona county
grand jury refused to return an indict-
ment. .
Arrest Of Mr.. Sweet caused some
thing OF a sensation in and around
Mapleton, owing to his prominence in
church and Sunday school work, and
also for the reason that Mr.. Sweet was
credited with having been responsible
for the wholesale arrest of alleged
bootlesIsrs at Laplston. The charge
against him was based upon the afri-
davit OF farmer to the effect that
Mr. Sweet had given him two drinks of
liquor nearly a year before the charge
was fled. Investigation failed to con-
vince the grand jury Of the guilt OF
Mr.. Sweet, aItho the Iowa statutes
governing bootlegging stipulats that
the mere giving away Of a drink Is a
violation Of the law.
