and arraignment followed promptly
II was expected the entire afternoon
would be taken up by arrangement Of

Not Through With Work Yet.
The alleged Illicit liquor dispersion
and their erstwhile patrons, had one
last night with their liquor, for the
evidence" brought here from Hurley
was stored in the same Jail that hous-
ed the prisoners-but they were sep
arated from it by bars of different
variety than those which liquor was
alleged to have passed so freely in
Hurley.
Joseph Callahan, leader of the for
ty- eight prohibition agents, who made
a night run from Chicago for the sur
prise visit on Hurley, refused to dis
close definitely what his program
would be in the face Of reports that
liquor had been sold in Hurley within
a few hours after he and his men left
there late yesterday. Members Of
Galatians party, likewise were reti-
cent, although there were intimations
that they were not through in this
neck of woods. 1t could not be learn
ed If some of the agents would be
sent back to Hurley to continue the
hopping up process.
The federal agents spent last might
in their two private cars. They were
busy early today preparing their cases
for presentation before the United

pected. 1t was hoped to dispose o.
all the cases this afternoon.

that are within the law for sale. Wiye,
