State Enforcement Officer Caudill while here directed his deputies to destroy all liquors they captured. A west end house was raided and a big haul was made last evening. Later at night Mrs. Hubbard, Rupert and others conveyed a big wagon load of bottled beer and whiskey to the creek, where there was a pulling of corks and spilling of beer into the Rock Creek stream. At the same time one barrel of whiskey, one keg of the same and eight and a quarter cases of booze were burned. The destruction was witnessed by about twenty people who accompanied the officers. The value of the liquors thus destroyed is fixed at $600.”
