LIQUOR SEIZED ON INLET WAS
DESTDOYEDBYJL5. MARSHAL
Seward — On advices from the
district court all of the liquor re
ceived from Anchor age by Deputy
U. S. Marshal Isaac Evans, was de
stroyed last Thursday; morning,
Dee. 21. at the city dump.
This settles a controversy over
the liquor in which) the Seward
Women's clubl demanded that it
not he sold here and the local
dealers that it not be sold in retail
quantities.
The liquor wag seized at Point
Campbell on the charge that It had
been shipped into Alaska under
false manifest, which1 was sustained,
the men who received it being con
victed. Under the law goods con
fiscated because of false manifest
shall be sold on order of the su
preme court.
In this instance an appeal was
made to the district attorney and
then to Secretary of the interior
that tjie liquor be destroyed. The
latter took it up withi the attorney
geneiai. who, after conferring) with.
Alaskan officials by wire, arranged
with ^ court to alter the order of
sale In au order for tlio destruc
tion of the liquor.
The order was received here last
night, including instruction® to l>ay
for the storage, hauling and break
ing up of the shipment. This morn
ing the boxes were loaded on two
big sleds and taken, to the dump
wheie Evan?, WUl'am Weaver and
Mike Johnson, armed with! hammer^
broke the bottles.
There were several labels on the
different, bottles. l>ut the contents
were the same, and) of suchi low
proof that straw soaked with it
could not be ignited. Its only sim
ilarity t« whiskey was the odor, but
with a few additional ingredients
i' ml,1)* have made good floor vara
ish.

not played together before. As

noise, bringing home the bacon for
a total of 22 points—eight field
goals and six free throws. Bill
Hargraves was next in line for the
