On tho night of Pobruaty 25th two
hundred cases of booze wore shipped
from Archer,-Wyo to Elrdwood tjfd-
ItiL'. hIy inllnu went nf (own. nml tlmrn
(unloaded, Where the whisky Is
cached, and who claims it ownorshlp.
are propositions which the officers
have hoen unable so far to 'Unravel,
but closo watch Is being kop't and it
is stlll'hoped that the ownortf' will,
boforo tho stuff 1b all disposed of,
make Homo misstep that will lead to
tholr detection.
According to the story told, a box
car .was ordered spotted -at Archer
for a man who wanted to ship stock
and farm machinery to Bird wood. It
la known that in the car were three
cheap horses, a riuantity of baled hay.
a man nassed middle tico and the
! booze, tho latter being covered with
tho bales of hay. The car is known
to have reached Blrdwood on Feb
ruary 25th and unloaded during the
night of that day, but thero tho clew
ends, for porslstcnt searching of tlf
country has failed to fevcal the
horses, the baled hay or tho booze.
It is known that a wagon drovn up
to tho car and was loaded, biit there
Is no clew as to whle'i direction Hie
wagon was driven after leaving the
car, as hay wagons have made a well
beaten road along the sidetrack.
(It is generally believed that the
boozo was shipped in by North Platte
parties and either cached in tho coun
try or brought to town and sccro
and will bo brought from its hiding
place ad rapidly as sales aro made.
Tho coining of tho shipment was
tipped off to certain men nrount town
a week in advance of its arrival, and
they were asked if they cared to buy
a case. Only a day or two ago a
certain businoss man was approached
and asked if ho wanted to buy from
one to seven enscs of boozo, but ho
turned down tho offer. It is sup
posed that this boozo offered was part
of the Blrdwood shipment.
