SHERIFF ENGLAND
RAIDS RUM AUTO

Sheriff Arthur W. England, of
Hunterdon County, has nose like
a bloodhound when il comes to
smelling liquor. Tuesday morning
about o'clock Chevrolet sedan
was ditched at the big stone bridge
between Milford and Frenchtown.
One front wheel of the car was
smashed, and it was kneeling in
the mud like devout Mohamme-
dan worshipping the rising sun
when the Hunterdon County Sheriff
began to sniff the air.
Sheriff England arrived on the
scene about 8 o'clock. The car was
deserted and forlorn. This seemed
rather strange, in view of the fact
that the bowels of the car was
found by the sheriff to contain four
kegs of powerful rye. With that
much rye most people would feel
anything but deserted and forlorn.
just as the sheriff had finished
transferring the four kegs to his
own car, the owner of the smashed
vehicle appeared. He proved to be
John Roba, real estate agent, of
Pennington, N. j. He had been to
Frenehtown to secure first aid for
his injured caravan. The sheriff
reports that Roka showed the in
fluenee of liquor, and that near
by farmer said he had to show him
the road when he came To his place
for help, as he seemed too intoxi-
Gated to find it for himself The
sheriff says that in addition to
facing the charge of violating the
Volstead Law, Roka may lose his
driving license ON the charge of
driving an auto while under the in
fluenee of liquor.
Roka was arraigned before Judge
Robbins and bound over under $500
bail Bail was furnished by Rolca's
brotber-in-law, whose name could
not be coroborated, except that it
sounded like "Zemry." TIL cease is
likely to come up next Tuesday,
May s. The sheriff reports that
Roka said he may as well plead
guilty, for he has his liquor anyway.
