"nlSkeY was 0eSLTOyeO! The state police called some weeks ago and ex- amined the booze. It turned out to be rank, in their estimation, and may have been used to good advantage for washing barn windows or Sprinkling the streets.
 They carried the retainers out to the back yard and drained them dry. The bottles are now reposing in gen. tie sleep, hanging from the rafters in the cellar of the town hall S'fact, the cellar is open for scrutiny. The state police did not press the charges of the illegal selling of liquor. as pro- per evidence was lacking. The bot ties were found in back of a booth that had been erected by a fioater and were not claimed by him. No charges were held against him.
