Immediately and Is being held to face
charges of having liquor in his pos
session. 1t is his third offense, as
he has been twice convicted before

Police Sergeant Matt Kirsch led the
raiding party, which consisted also of
Policeman Melbusch, LaPoint and

If the persons arrested for drunken
ness had told officials that the liquor
found on him had been purchased at
the PERI store. On this informa-
ton, Police Sergeant Leo Buchanan
swore out the search warrant and the
sponge squad" equipped with this
blanket warrant to cover the entire
premises, went out to serve it.
Alcohol in Macaroni.
The police have been to the PERI
store often enough that they know
their way around for raid. They
found Peril behind the counter and
served the search warrant. While one
officer was reading it, Sergeant Kirsch
saw cork peeping out of the top of
a pile of macaroni in a barrel. He
reached into the macaroni and pulled
out a bottle of alcohol.
This alcohol say the police, may
have been used to put an extra "kick'
into some of the wine for the more
particular customers.
This bottle of alcohol was all the
liquor found in the store proper. In
the basement barrel, which had evil
IDENTIFY been once filled with wine, was
found but only about gallon of wine
was left. In a shed at the rear of
the house and store, fourteen cases
of home brew were found with two
dozen bottles in the case.
Call for Truck.
Billy's express truck was summoned
by the police to carry away the con-
fiscated liquor. At the time of a
previous raid one of the large trucks
owned by the Nelson company had to
be called to carry away the evidence"
Peril is to face charges of having
liquor in his possession when arraign-
ed before Judge Slater this morning.
There is some talk that the store
may be declared nuisance and closed
under the paddock law, inasmuch as
there have now been three violations
of law there within less than year.
Peril had no permit to sell nom
intoxicating liquors. His store was
supposedly a grocery store.
