came to Hammond and organized for
tae affair. At . o'clock the party
swooped down upon the Burnham Inn
and the trick was turned. The re-
suit was the arrest of Dick Werner,
manager Of the resort. and Dan Ken
nedy. the inns barkeeper. They were
taken into custody after the officers
had hauled out twenty-nine cases con-
tanning eighty-seven gallons Of whis-
key
The booty was brought TO the fed
eraI building at Hammond and to-
day arrangements were made Tor
transporting It to Chicago. Figuring
al the rate the stuff IS being sold by
the drink, the officers found that they
had picked up about 5000 worth OF
bonded liquor.
In conspicuous places on the boxes
are labels bearing the legend mon
beverage" The labels also state that
the whiskey IS to he used for medicinal
purposes only. indicating that tney
