200 CASES OF WHISKEY

Smugglers Throw Liquor Overheard
and Waves Land it ut Long
Beach.

For the second time this Summe,
the waves at Long Beach. l.. l., have
washed ashore liquor of an excellent
quality, and grateful populaoe has
appropriated the gift from the seas

row to prohibition officials.
1t all happened last Saturday night
according to r. G.. Merrick, Divisional
prohibition Enforcement Director, who
ruefully admitted his inability yester.
day TO trace the disposition of tire evi

bottles. of Scotch whisky. Residents
and visitors at the resort who got one
Or several bottles showed no inclin;l,
ton to aid the cause of liquor enforce
ment by handing over their prizes to
the representatives of the enforce
ment department.
The cases of liquor had been thrown
overheard by rum-runners who were
being pursued by Federal agents IN
fast speed boats from the opposite ends
OF Jones Inlet. Their sides awash, with
cases of whisky. the rum-runners were
unable to proceed at a faster rate than
the Government boats. To the bootleg
gers IT was case of not being caught
with cases-so overheard went the
supplies. Slowly the waves performed
their role of unwilling running.
1t was long after bedtime when a
fSW stay-ups saw tire first OF the alec
hbl armada ground on the beach. Idle
curiosity to know what the wooden
boxes contained was rewarded by the
sight OF straw-colored bottles. Like
magic the word spread about the re-

Boxer Offers to
Fight for Nothing
Carl Augustine, Kayoed by

Fight Without Pay.

What's thisY A box fighter actual
ly offers to fight for nothing.
Carl Augustine of St. Paul is this
strange creature. Carl. however, is
not actuated entirely by eleemosy-
nary purposes.
Omaha fight fans remember that
Augustine went down in the first
round of the semi-final event Of the
last fight program held at the Omaha
Auditorium principally because Bat
Ting Monroe. his opponent, got in
the first blow.
Augustine's downfall was big sur
prise not only to himself but to 10
cal followers of the knuckle-whirling
sport. Now Carl seeks retribution.
He declares Monroe's one-round vic
tory over him was the sheerest ac-
cident and that ordinarily Monroe
would be duck soup for him.
Hearing that Monroe had been
booked to appear on the card which
will be staged at the Omaha Audi
torium next Friday night, Augustine
yesterday wired matchmakers for the
Theodore Roosevelt post OF the
American Legion. which is staging
the show. that he would so much like
to fight Monroe again that he would
come to Omaha at mis- own expense
and fight without nickels compen-

have on Monroe would be worth H..
