ing of intoxicating liquors being car
ried on at the place under suspicion.
The sheriff securing the necessary
search warrant made a careful search
of the premises that were under ques
tion but failed to locate . even any
of the liquor let alone the appli
ances for its manufacture and there
fore was compelled to return to this
city empty handed. The place that
was visited has been complained of
as one of the sources of supply that
have caused Union citizens to be
come highly liquored but from the
facts it would seem that they have
some other source from which the
intoxicants are secured.
