THREE LAND IN LIQUOR NET

PROHIBITION OFFICIALS WERE BUSY IN WAUPACA COUNTY

As the result of a raid conducted by Federal prohibition enforcement officers F.C. Welsh, E.T. Sullivan and F.H. Laabs, accompanied by Sheriff Wm. Toepke and Under-sheriff Halbert Swenson, three Waupaca County saloon men were arrested for alleged violation of the liquor laws. The men apprehended were Herman Teal, Weyauwega; Earl Dennison, Bear Creek and F.J. Spiegel, Symco. All three were brought before Justice Scott of this city Saturday morning and all were bound over to Circuit Court, bail being fixed at $500, which was furnished.

It is understood that other evidence was obtained at Marion and it is expected that arrests will son follow.

If all parts of the country were as diligent in their search for booze violators as Waupaca County, the sliding would become so rough for the liquor men that they would gradually cease operations, for although we hear our own county often spoken of as being lax in its enforcement of liquor laws, it is a well known fact that adjoining counties are much more so.
