ABBOTSFORD. THE PIONEER STORE Phone 16 R, DesMazes, Prop. 100 Cases Of Booze Uncovered By Sumas Customs In Two Seizures United States Customs officers at Sumas uncovered 79 cases of liquor last week, billed from New Westmin- ster to South Dakota, the shipment being discovered in a carload of shin- gles being transferred from the B, C. E. tracks in Huntingdon to the Mil- waukee, St. Paul tracks in Sumas. Mr. Moe, of the Sumas Customs of- fice infers that the liquor had been loaded into the car somewhere between New Westminster and Sumas, as the car weight tallied with the shipping bills after the wet goods had been re- moved. A second liquor seizure was made on Thursday last by Customs Patrol Offi- cer Atherton, who arrested two Ameri- cans with 14 cases of liquor loaded on a pair of pack horses, which they had smuggled over the international border by a remote trail near the Smyth farm west of Huntingdon. Arrest of the pair of liquor-runners lead to discovery of 16 more cases of liquor hidden in the Connell barn just south of the border near Sumas.

Police Receive Shipment Of “Chinks” For Liberation In This District Constables Greenwood and Renner received a shipment of 110 Mongolian pheasants from Victoria yesterday for liberation in this district. Twenty pairs of these birds, which are last year’s hatch, will be turned loose in the Mats- qui district, and thirty-five pairs in Su- mas prairie, Upper Sumas, Huntingdon and Abbotsford district. Game birds survived the severe cold and snow-bound conditions of the past winter better than expected, the police find, but liberation of these young new- comers will assure better shooting in the fall.
