Forty thousand dollars worth was seiz olis early yesterday morning—a few hours after the eternal drouth had set in—and the othe miles south of Cheyenne at about | the same time. The former is now in storage in the Hot Springs county capital, and the latter is keeping out of harm’s way in the basement of! the capitol here in Cheyenne. Information received today by ‘red L. Crabbe, the new state com- ma iener of prohibition, has it that, working in conjunction with Sheriff Harry Holdrege and County Attor- ney Linn I. Noble, two men from his office visited saloons, resorts, trains| and other places in Thermopolis| shortly after midnight Monday and came away with 1,500 gallons of} whisky and 500 gallons of beer and) wine. Unlike the saloonkeepers in} Cheyenne and other cities who got rid of their supplies before the fatal hour struck, some of the Hot Springs county people evidently had planned to hold on for a while. But more! ) recently-they—have changed their minds.
