A NOVEL HAUL OF CONSTABLES. \lno Obtained a Book With Charge a Thereon for Drinks ? A Readable Story From Spartan bur?;. Special to The State. Spurtnnbur^, ( Vt. 21.?Quite i sensationoccurred at the Spartan nn on Wednesday night, which , lid not become generally known : intil late in the day yesterday. Hie constables stationed at this, ilaco suspected that there was whiskey being sold in the billiard uid pool room conducted on the j first floor of the inn by B. S. DooUttle. No scheme they could lovise would furnish evidence to convict, and no whiskey could be found in his possession. On Wednesday the cllicers secured a search warrant for the premises, including the iron safe. Early in the night the constables, accompanied by Deputy Sheriff Landrum Foster, repaired to the hotel and proceeded to search. Finding nothing on the outside they demanded admission to the safe. This was securely locked and no body about the hotel would admit that he had anything to do with the safe or that he even knew the combination. This aroused the suspicions of the officers more than ever, and they determined to sec inside that safe. By this time a large crowd had collected and some disorder was threatened, but .John Vemon, I'hief of police, came ulong and the big drummer who was doing the "cussin" promised at once to join the church. Nobody claimed the safe and nobody had any interest in it, so the officers had no trouble in rolling it into a wagon and carrying it away. They carried it on Factory hill whore Constable Bob Floyd lives and set up and watched it all night. Early yesterday morning they secured a set of tools and proceeded to make an entrance. i>oring into the door they broke the lock and revealed the contents. They found five and one-half gallons of peach brandy in pint and half pint hotties, glasses, siphons, etc*, an account hook, papers, notes, mort pages, etc., a photograph of H. S. Doolittlc and $f>l.f>0 in money. Nobody claims any of the property except the safe itself, which belongs to the owers of the hotel and had been leased by them to J. S. Brubaker. The account hook shows large accounts for whiskey on quite a number of the prominent citizens of this place. The names of men a ho were not known to ho drinking men appear on the hook for sums ranging from $1 to $17. Warrants have boon issued for Doolittlo, Brubnkor and some man working tor Doolittlo. The constables think they have a aeries of good eases, as they will use the account book ami also call in the various persons as w itnesses whose names appear there. It may be stated that Doolittlo pleaded guilty at the last term of court in two cases for selling liquor and paid a tine of $100 in each case.
