Statf Takea'ia Balds
The Juniata river east of Holli-
dayeburg ran free with booze for
a time Wednesday when 850
quarts of whisky and a large
. .portion of seventy nine cases of
high-voltage beer stored in the
county jail was unceremoniously
dumped into a sewer- loading to
the river.
The whisky was good, bad and
low degree. Soma Was probably
the real stuff, part of it was
"questionable," and the rest unquestionable bad. * The booze
destruction party took place at
the county jail, upon orders lrom
Judge Thomas J. Baldrige. Its
further presence in the custody
of county officials was no longer
required, as it bad fulfilled its obligation as evidence in prohibition
enforcement cases in the county
courts.
Sergeant D. 11. Austin, of the
state constabulary, now located at
Greensburg, and formerly at llol-
lidaysburg, went to that town
Wednesday and carried out the
court's last order. Sergeant Austin with the assistance or County
Commissioners G. W. Selwitz
and John R. Dunkel,and Jail
Warden William F. Reifsteck,
emptied the whisky into the sewer early in the day.
Later Sergeant Austin returned
and with the assistance of Warden
Reifsteck a police officer, did
