men, STILLS, LIQUOR
CAPTURED in RAIDS
FEDERAL AND STATE OFFICERS SWOOP
DOWN ON BOOTLEGGERS AROUND
MILFORD LAST FRIDAY. =
PLEAD GUILTY; SENTENCED
SUBSTANTIAL SENTENCES IMPOSED In
EACH INSTANCE. 1T IS SAID OTHER
ARRESTS TO FOLLOW.

State, county and local police au-
thorities, assisted by Federal agents,
visited Milford and other sections of
lower Delaware last Friday and made
arrests which they claim are import
ant ones. For sometime past the au-
thOrities have been receiving COM
plants that liquor was being manu-
factured and sold by men located not
far from Milford. Investigation by the
agents disclosed the truthfulness of
the claims and the visit last Friday
was for the purpose of breaking up
the practice. At the Jenkins Farm, -
about three miles north of Milford,
the officers arrested Charles Artese,
SantO Belfiore, and Antonio Recti, all
Italians. At their house they found
what they claim is the largest cop
per kettle used for 1istilling purposes
that they have yet discovered. The
men were brought to Milford and
locked up.
The agents, and local officers, then
went to the home of Jasper Stubbs, a
white farmer, residing in Slaughter
Neck, where a search was made for
illicit liquor. At the Stubbs' farm the
officers found a quantity Of liquor
buried in jugs and glass Jars. "Mash"
about ready to be made into liquor
was also found. Stubbs was not at
home, but when he arrived there and
learned that the officers had searched
his premises he came to Milford and
surrendered to Chief of Police Court
ney. He was taken before Justice of
the Peace HendriXson who neld him
hot
taken to Georgetown.
Plead Guilty TO Charges
Before Judge Harrington on Satur-
day Artes, BelfiOre and Recti pied
guilty at Dover. Artes and Belfiore
were fined $500 and given one years
Imprisonment and Recti, who is a
former soldier, was given eleven
months and $500 fine. Ali three will
serve their time in the New Castle
County WorkhOuse. In addition to the
still and liquor, the officers took
rifles and ammunition from the house
of the Italians.
Stubbs, who was arrested on the
Sussex county side, appeared before
the resident Judge on Saturday and
plead guilty to two charges; one, the
VI ll4uOl anu LuC oCCOhO
that of selling liquor. He was SEN
fenced to a $500 fine and one years
Imprisonment in the New Castle
County Workhouse.
Arrested Another Offender
On Saturday afternoon Chief of Po-
lice Courtney, who is familiar with
the territory being searched, guided
the officers to the hiding place of Ar
thur Collision, who is charged with be-
ing implicated with Stubbs. He was
taken before Justice of the Peace
who held him under $500
bail for court, failing to secure which
he was taken to Georgetown to await
trial 1t is rumored that Collision has
confessed his guilt and that he, will
implicate a number of other persons.
The Federal officers have had
agents working lower Delaware for
and it is said that evidence
has been secured against several
other persons whose arrests will be /
made in the near future.

Possibly An Attempt
At Highway Robbery

What was possibly an attempt to
hold up Mr.. and Mrs. William Wilson,
of Frederick, occurred late Sunday
evening last, as the couple were driv-
ing in their automobile on the du POnt
road, between Milford and Frederick.
Between eleven o'clock and midnight
they met an automobile coming south,
as they were driving north. The car
turned around and then passed them.
When near the small culvert about
mile north of the Tub Mill, the driver
of the car placed the vehicle directly
across the roadway in such man
ner that the Wilson car could not
pass it without stopping. Seeing this
Mr.. Wilson turned around quickly and
returned to Milford where he asked
for police protection. Highway citizen
police returned with him to the scene
of the trouble, but the men had de-
parted. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson say
that two men stepped from the car
and that both were masked. They are
sure that they narrowly escaped being
held up and robbed. Mr.. Wilson is in
the hardware business in Frederick,
