"I never knew how big a shot gun
was until l looked into the business
end of one aimed at me" was the com
ment of Lee Benedict of Bristol, Con-
stable for that town who was a mem
er of a party of raiders under the lead
ership of Federal Agent Scholey who
ran into adventures in raids in \the
town of Paris on Sunday. Benedict and
Peter Olsen, constable from the town
of Salem had real experience. The
shotgun was in the hands of Stanley
Niebrowski, who lives at the corner of
the Plank and Bristol roads in the
town Of Paris. The man has been ar
rested several times for having moon
shine LIQUOR in his possession but each
time he had been released on account
of the fact that he had some eight chill
dren and wife dependents on him.
Sunday morning Agent Scholey and a
battery of constables incl lding Olsen
and Benedict, Frank Mark and Dillman
of Pleasant Prairie went out for a
cleanup of the farm in Paris.
Scholey Searches Woods.
Scholey when he reached the Me
browski farm went out to search the
old hut in the woods where the liquor
had been found on previous occasions
and Olsen and Benedict went to the
house. They found Niebrowski at the
barn and read the search. warrant to
him and he led the way to the house
walking ahead of the officers. When
he got to the house he rushed in and
grabbed single.barrelled shotgun and
the officers found their way blocked.
"You fellows try to enter this place and
I'll blow you full of holes" the man
shouted to the constables and he ac-
companied his statement with a consid-
cradle amount of profanity. The wife
of Niebrowski hung onto his coat and
counseled reason and the constables
made for cover. Then they Temporal

haven't pulled our guns and we don't
want to kill anyone" shouted Benedict
from his place of safety. Finally the
constables made rush for the house
and got the man and the gun. They
brought the gun back with them and
the man was told to come in on Tues
day morning In search of the house
the constables and Federal Agent Scho-
ley found still and thirty-fve gallons
of mash.
Arraigned on State Warrant.
The man is to be arraigned on a
state warrant in the local courts as
Federal Agent Scholey wants to dis
pose Of these cases in the state courts
wherever it is possible. As it is the
fourth trip to court for the Paris man
it is not expected that he will be shown
any great mount of leniency.
In raids on Saturday night and Sun
day the federal agent and his aids Wis
sited the Biedersdorf saloon at Camp
Lake, securing a small amount of
whisky and several bottles of what APP
peared to be beer of the kind not per-
mitted under the prohibition amend
ment. At the Saloon Of Fred Meyers at
Trevor the raiders secured more beer
which had been shipped in from Chi
cage ana it is to be tested to discover
its intoxicating strength The officers
went to the place of Joe Waggoner at
Brighton but they found no reason to
make any seizure. Several complaints
have been made against this place but
Scholey gave If clean bill today.
