interfere with overnment and mate
officers in their raid 011 bootlegger
will be invtiliKatcd by government
agents, according to announcement
made laic tliii afternoon by State
Mieriff (Im Hyers. An oflieial re
port by Hyers on the raid states:
'Deputy United States Marsha!
Carroll will take the matter up with
the t'nited States district attor
ney, Hon W. Stewart, at Lincoln,
who will file complaint against the
l'rague citizens."
Turn Out Lights.
When state and federal booze of
ficers swooped down on the little
town of fragile, Saunders county, at
iliiik last evening to search for
liquor, somebody turned off the
town's electric lights.
The citizens gathered in groups
and watched the officers with hos
tility. They were warned to disperse
to their homes while the officers
pursued the search which netted 100
quarts of whisky, chiefly Sunny
brook. 25 quart of Three Star
Hennessey, and 50 gallons of pure
alcohol.
The tip came to T. V. Carroll, m
.sistant federal prohibition director,
who was told that whisky was be
iitR iii.-imifai'turccl north of frague
and being sokl in pool halls and
other places in the town.
Agent Buys Whisky.
An agent was sent out fro' Lin
coln and went to the farm of Einil
Crabcnick, north of fragile. He tele
phoned to State Shcrilf Hyers that
lie had purchased three quarts of
whisky.
Hyers, Carroll, Hans Nielsen,
Karl Schmitt and other officers went
to the town by automobiles then and
began the search.. In the loft of
Grabenick's barn they found the 50
gallons of alcohol, they reported.
When they entered the town they
visited the pool hall of Joe Pctro
zelks. where they saw a farmer
drinking brer out of a can.
Men Arrested.
At the barber shop of Fred
Kanicc they found a grip contain
ing four quarts of whisky, and at
Natnec's home they found the rest
of the big whisky supply, they re
ported. The entire -haul of liquor was
piled in Gus Hj-ers office today and
viewed by many thirsty Lincoln
itcs. ' '" ." -
The men were arrested and state
and county officials are., consulting
regarding prosecutidtis against them.
s Barber Makes Money.
Gus Hyers didn't stop with con
fiscating all the liquor he could find,
when, with Deputy United States
Marshal Carroll he made the drouth
In Frague. He confiscated the bank
"Think what that bank showed?"
Gus asked, in a tone which might
be called envious.
It showed that In recent weeks
the average weekly deposits of Ne
meck, a small town barber, were
$500."
Officers today were told of a
threat of gun play heard by their
friends while the Prague raid was
in progress.
"I was told that one man, who
pointed out lo nie, had pro
poMrd uairtg guu," Cut 4'4 today.
'1 aked ta nave Imu pointed out

ami tiid:
"1 deputize )uu to lirlp in loading
this Itooe in our car and before we
left he apparently was nc of the
bct friends we had in I'ragu and
he helped to bd the booe.
No Tastes Permitted.
A dilute was under way tonight
between Lincoln citiiens a to
whether the smell of bottles labeled
"coanae and ".Sunn) brook corre-
with that of real "cognac
and whisky. Some declared that ap
parently bona fide government
stamps were counterfeited and it
was nothing except cleverly "made
at your home' products, while oth
ers Mthrmcd it was the "real stuff.
foor Gus liyers was asked by
men with tears in their eyes and
with aliened infallible tasters to
"let us put our tongues on it and
we'll tell you."
Hut Gus always replied in the
negative, thusly:
"Hoys, I grant that your taste
might be better than your noses,
but 1 am honor bound to send it
ti the laboratories and let the sci
entists be the final judges."
