$1,000 BY HOLD UP
Two hundred and seventy-five gal
lons of forfeited spirits, or In common
parlance, "com llcker," were sold by
the internal revenue department for
*1.26 per gallon Tuesday morning. One
hundred and thirty-five pounds of cop-
the opinion that It should have brought
public outcry.
Uncle Sant about broke even on the
trade, because the ttut of *1.10. per gal
lon was paid by the government before
the deal wan closed. This left 16 cents
per gallon to pay for tlio expenses of
the agents who made the raids and the
freight and drayage 'charges.
The whisky sold Tuesday morning
represented an unusually good grade,
ranging in proof from 97 to 100, so one
of the revenue men said, and he was of
the oplnlno that It should have brought
at least *1.60 per gallon. He guessed
the man who bought the booze would
get at least *3 iter gallon when It wus
resold. Unless the sale price equals
the revenue tax of *1.10 per gallon tho
authorities destroy tho whisky by pour
ing It Into the gutters.
