Mini \>r's Storage Company's "ware-
house, at Halls Prairie for storing Ii
quor, ruled Magistrate H. 0. Alexan-
der on Tuesday.
'The whole thing is tainted with il
legality" said his worship, who re-
fused an application by Gerald Hodg
son, on behalf of H. E. Sands for the
return of twelve bottles of beer which
had been seized March 10 by provin
cial police in a raid on the storage
plant.
Formerly known as the Washington
club and situated thirty feet this side
of the border the place, with the in
auguration of stricter beer enforce
ment regulations, became overnight a
storage warehouse by incorporating
Minkner's Storage Company, Limited.
The secretary was Lee Preston Mink
ned. The club beer lockers to comply
with the company's articles of incor-
poration became safety deposit boxes.
The patrons or depositors mostly from
the American side of the line, paid a
rental Of 81 year for the privilege
of keeping their liquor in storage at
Halls Prairie, and, in addition anoth
er storage fee of rs cents for each
bottle extracted from the vault.
1t was admittedly scheme which
could be utilized to advantage by the
numerous 'Fbootleggers from Washing
ton state.
No beer or liquor was consumed on
the premises stated Mr.. Minkner. The
depositors, in what they thought was
a perfectly legal manner, withdrew a
bottle from the "vault" and retired to
the nearby Canadian bush and quaff-
ed their beer or Scotch in sight of
American customs officers. Mr.. Mink
ner said he afterwards collected the
bottles.

will be the partisans on both sides and
not the candidates themselves. But let
it not happen.
Question: see the Herald makes a
plea for harmony in city affairs.
Don't you think that is the trouble
we have had too much harmony?
If you will read the article again
you will note that nothing is said
about past matters. We refer entirely
to the future. We believe that any adj
ministration coming in should have
the best wishes and support of the
press and public until we become con-
WINGED that such support is undeserv-
ed What has happened is in the past
and had best be forgotten. A new set
of officers certainly approach their
task with misgivings. They will feel
much better if they know the public
is inclined to be helpful instead of
aloof and critical. And we also feel
that in view of our bad luck the past
year we should work together to put
Lancaster back where it belongs.
If that kind of harmony is wrong
bring on your rope and lynch the ed
itor.

held at the old opera house Saturday

A speaker, the same person who adj
dressed the interrupted meeting at

crowd, which remained long after mid
night Cheers and applause greeted
the orator.
Organizers have been operating in
Dodgeville for several weeks, much to
the chargin of the anti-Klan element.
Several sleighs brought people from
nearby towns to attend the meeting.
Admission was by card No hostile
demonstration was made, although
several considered undesirables were
barred from the meeting. The more
conservative citizens look upon the
Khan with amused tolerance and con-
slider it a fad which will soon die out
