SUGAR FOR NOTHING
IICmc Liquor Industries Have Way 10
Get The Raw Materials.

Five hundred pounds OF sugar,
formerly owned by NJ. Castanola X
Sons viii probably go to add TO the
liquor supply ih San Antonio.
The case came 10 the attention Of
city detectives, Monday. when the firm
reported that chec1 for S43.2J,
given in payment for the five 100
pound sacks of sugar, was found TO be
worthless. The identity of the pur-
chaser is a mystery. All that is
known of him is that when he made
the purchase and gave the bogus cheek
he was driving little bay horse to an
express wagon.
Last week detectives were confront
ed with Il case somewhat similar in
detail. except that not even Il check
was given in payment for 600 pounds
of sugar and is pounds OF yeast. The
Chew Wong Grocery company WAS
directed To deliver the sugar and yeast
to an address. They did so. The
driver. after unloading his delivery,
was directed to another house and
while waiting there for the money,
the customer disappeared. Likewise
did the sugar and yeast.
