More tbAn seven gallons of white mule" were confiscated and will De used as evidence when the case comes up in the Town court Thursday. Judge Perry put up the bond for Mo zien.
 The story goes that a party was held in the Ukraaian hall by the society and that liquor ran quite freely. In some manner or other Officer Vire1H was notified and after several of his assistants were obtained he went to Southport. The raiding party sur rounded the hall and Vereli and two of his men broke into the hall where a wild party was going on it is said. The hall was then searched and the liquor discovered. Authorities say that the liquor is of the white mule' variety. Mozien and Lauger were ar rested and locked up, but later were reltased when bonds were obtained.
 At the same time the barber shop owned by Lauger was raided for evil dence, but none was found. What prompted officials to hush up the story is still a mystery. The case will have to be prosecuted to the end because
