DUNN BOUND OVER ON
 LIQUOR LAW CHARGE
Judge Expresses Impa- tience, Holds Him for
 Superior Court

Although he denied ownership or management of 8 room in the rear of PIP East Main street, where a raiding squad of policemen seized a pitcher of alleged liquor and some beer Monday night, and arrested him as proprietor, Ex-Councilman James Dunn, aged SS, of Winter street, was bound over to the De- cember term of superior court by Judge B. w. Alling in police court this morning, the judge saying the local court appears to be unable to persuade Dunn to get out of the liouor business. He ordered a bond of s1,000 but after court lowered 1t to $500. Attorney David L. Dunn represented Dunn.
 Detective Sergeant George c. FL finger testified that Dunn maintains the room which Officer David Doty, who patrols the beat, reported as be- ing frequented by men of drinking habits. Last Saturday night, Ser gcant Ellinger and Officer John C. Stadler watched the place, familiar izing themselves with the layout and about 8 o'clock Monday night, the officers, with Officer Thomas J. Fee ney, hid behind automobiles and saw Dunn come through the yards from Summer street and after peer ing about, give a signal at the door.
 When the door was opened to ad- init Dunn, Officers Feeney and Stadler entered and the latter seized a pitcher of liquor. Dunn disap- peared. He returned before the of- ficers left and, the sergeant searched him and found 8 key which fitted the lock on door leading from the room to a closet. In the closet the beer was found, the sergeant said. Dunn asked the sergeant to "be fair" In the matter.
 Attorney Dunn moved that all the sergeant's testimony be stricken out on the ground that the witness did not know of his own knowledge that Dunn was the owner. therefore he could not refer to him in that ca pacity. The sergeant admitted that the reason he believed Dunn to be the owner was that Officer Doty said so. The sergeant knows better than to give testimony based on hearsay. the lawyer contended. Judge filling denied the motion and admitted the serseant's testimony.
 tae+ifa1 that when Dunn reached the door he signalled to someone inside that the police were about. Asked by Attorney Dunn if Dunn had knocked on the door, the officer said he did not, but gave a signal with his hands. Asked how he knew Dunn was aware that the police were about the officer re- piled that a friend of Dunn had seen the officers go into the yard and he therefore surmised that the friend had notified Dunn.
 In the room was a show case, Q pool table and several chairs and tables. Officer Feeney went in first and warded off two interferers while Officer Stadler seized the pitcher. When Dunn came in later and was placed under arrest by Sergeant FL finger, he applied unprintable names to all the officers, the witness said.
 Officer Feeney said Elza White, brother-in-la of Dunn, seized him and another man also tried to inter fere with the raid, but he kept them off long enough for Officer Stadler to grab the pitcher. Dunn, on ar irving at the door while the officers were watching from their hiding place, knocked on the door, Officer Feeney said.

ago, shiny new thing, but though it
had lost its shine and newness, it was
still going strong its inmost heart un-

paid to time. Gaily it sailed along,
patches of brown rust showing here
and there. On wooden spokes were
places bare of paint. But the sturdy
chug of its engine belied it external

year there were 19,100 acres with a

acreage for 1925 was l6,400 with a

A year ago, with an acreage of 18,4O0
acres, and yield of "a bushels, there
was production of AL, 500 bushels

Oats ranks second in cereals. The
acreage, yield and production were
very much alike for the two yeaEs
but the value slumped off tremend-
ously from $2,555,232 for 1924 to

was $4,000 bushels for the county as
against 148,400 bushels the year be-
