Several from this neighborhood attended Byron Wright's sale near Woodstock last Saturday. Little Everett Thomas is still very ill. He had won out with typhoid fever then he had an attack of bronchitis. - How many of those intending to attend the Elkhorn fair reached the grounds we wonder? As yet we have heard of only one from this neighborhood F. E. Martin and son, Loren, expect to start for Florida Wednesday with their car. It seems like a long trip, but with good weather they wiil soon make it. Small grain in this section was a very short crop, but the farmers have a little to encourage them. The corn left from silo filling has ripened and is the finest crop harvested for several years. BEER THEFT INQUIRY ON Judge Barnes Conducting Rigid investigation at Woodstock [Harvard "Herald] County Judge C. P. Barnes is conducting a court of investigation in rooms adjoining his office in the court house at Woodstock to ferret out the theft of eighty-one barrels of beer stolen from a warehouse at Woodstock during last Thursday night following confiscation of the beverage by Sheriff Roy Stewart, who intercepted the van load of beer near Spring Grove enroute • from Wisconsin to Chicago. The sheriff and his aids escorted the beer van* to Woodstock, Louis Winkle, driver of the truck, accompanying the party under an order of arrest for transporting wet goods contrary to the search and seizure act, it being contended that the beer in transit contains more alcohol than permitted by the search and seizure act. Under direction of Sheriff Stewart the beer was unloaded in a beer warehouse used for many years by the Jung Brewing Co., but during the night the warehouse was entered and the beer taken out in cases and bar rels until virtually the warehouse was beerless. Apparently no effort was made to stop the raiders, entrance having been obtained thru windows and the beer, passed out, it being claimed that not less than several hundred participated in the raid. That the warehouse was left unguarded seems incredible, but such was the case, according to the testimony given by forty or more who took part in the raid and who have testified before Judge Barnes and State's Attorney Lumley, who are in charge of the investigation. Theft of 137 cases of beer, which was passed out thru windows in the warehouse, seemed easy because they met with no obstacles, small trucks, pleasure cars and vehicles of various kinds having been called into service and the beer raid kept up all night and until 8 o'clock on Friday morning. Judge Barnes began a searching investigation of the affair and has consumed four days in the inquiry. Yesterday his efforts brought results because unmistakable evidence was obtained against the following named as among the leaders in the beer raid: Marcellus Stafford, Roy Ct Reese, Earl Gruenwald, Edward Cooney, Ernest Hinderlider and Kenneth Severson. Criminal informations were filed against the six by State's Attorney Lumley, three counts being specified, the same being for illegally transporting beer on the public highway, for petit larceny in stealing beer bottles and for disorderly conduct. The six young men against whom criminal information was filed wen arraigned in court, Stafford, Cooney, Reese and Gruenwald asking postponement by the court. Hinderlider and Severson entered pleas of guilty, confessing that they had procured the ladders by which entrance to the beer warehouse was obtained. Two of the three counts against the two young men tfere dismissed by the state's attorney. Judge Barnes reserved passing sentence until a later, date, presumably until the investigation under way has been finished. Resumption of the investigation this morning by summoning persons suspected of having either participated in the raid or being witnesses thereto to appear before the county court jurist and state's attorney indicates that the end is not in sight. Over fifty persons, among the number four women, have been called to tell what they know of the disgrace ful affair. The inquiry v.is being held behind closed doors, the sheriff ushering witnesses into the room and the county clerk standing as guard just outside the doorway. As the witnesses emerge, they are non-communicative and it is difficult to obtain any definite information from them.
