Liquor Raid Fails.
raid on the White Oak district by
Constables E. w. Furrey, Charles
Klatt and Royce, proved fruitess last
night although the officers have good
authority to believe that the practice
of making home brew is continually
being held there. The search was
made on a John Doe warrant issued
by Justice Merritt 0. Ryder, follow
ing information to the effect that liz
, uor was being made and sold in that
| locality.
Nheh the Officers arrived at the
mousse. they were confronted by
number OF men who denied stoutly
that there was any hootch in the
house and asserted their innocence Of
ever selling 1t. The officials, how
ever, are or the opinion That the men
were warned OF their coming and re
moved the nquor before their arrival.
A close Watch Is BENG kept on this
district by the local police az well as
the Mountain View section which is
noted for being infested with home
brew makers. Several arrests have
been made by the local and state
ponce IN both these Vicinities and
there is good reason to believe that
the praGuce is still being INDUCED in
on large scale.
