Z. Boerenroth Increases
Private Stock" by
800 Cases.
BREAK IN COST IS SEEN
Three Hundred Cases from
Early Times Still Valued
at Only $4,000.

f. Boerenroth, Jr., whoever he may
De, replenished his private stock"
this morning. The gentleman (some
people might call him a wizard) who
startled Kenosha by bringing in some
$4,000 worth of whiskey Just after
the prohibition law went into effect
and got away with it apparently with
out even an investigation on the part
OF the government, got new shipment
this morning. Not knowing the ad-
dress of Mr.. Boerenroth and it not
appearing on the way bill of Pennsyl-
vania car number 4318 which brought
the new supply Of "likker," it is i'm
possible to state whether this is re-
serve stock or that the friends of the
consignee of The two big shipments
have entirely consumed the former
supply. AT any rate, Boerenroth has
500 cases of real whiskey waiting to
be deposited in the cellar at his home
for his private consumption in treat
ing influenza or anything else which
may require medicine of the 100-proof
sort. But here is the secret:
Prices Are Tumbling.
Prices on liquor-real liquor-must
be tumbling, as the way bill for the
car which came in this morning shows
that the 800 cases are valued at only
$4,000. Examination of the cases was
not permitted by the courteous rail-
way officials who told all about the
coming in of the car and it's drifting
about in the yards waiting for some
one to claim it, but ceases" of whiskey
are supposed to contain IL bottles and
the total shipment is thought to be
somewhere in the neighborhood of
1900 gallons. Of course, it is possible
that the bottoms of the bottles NAV
have been moved up a little. and the
corks in them pushed down so that
the total net amount of liquor has
been considerably reduced, but it is
believed that the shipment reaching
Aenosha this morning is somewhere
over a thousand gallons.
Came From Rardstown.
The car came from the very heart
of the Blue Grass whiskey country in
Kentucky and the cases indicated that
the whiskey was made at the Early
Times Distillery at Hardstown. There
was nothing to indicate that the car
had been opened and the goods either
sampled or tested on the way to Keno
sha.
mo, we don't know anything about
Mr.. Boerenroth," said one of the rail-
way men this morning. "All we know
is that there was handsome car of
booze came III for him this morning.
We did not even know where to spot
the car aid it is drifting around the
yards now waiting for someone to
rescue it and unload it. Lots of peo-
pie ship carload lots into Kenosha and
good many would be willing to ship
carloads of whiskey so that we can
not be expected to know who all the
consignees are. Undoubtedly, Mr..
Boerenroth, or his agent, will appear
during the day and provide for the
unloading of the car, because cars are
scarce and we need it to move other
freight"
Charges Are All Paid.
The charges for pulling the car all
the way from Kentucky to Kenosha
had been paid and the railway men
assumed an 81 should worry" attitude
as to what happened to the car or it's
contents. Possibly some of the gov
eminent officials will take little more
interest in it.
There is just one other solution and
that is that the shipment is entirely
in keeping with the prohibition laws
and that the liquor is to be divided
among the druggists to be sold for
medicinal purposes.
