Booze Poured Into Gutters;
Thirsty Drink; None Dead
Waukegan, 111., Jan. 11. Twenty prohibition agents from
Chicago made a swift raid here today and turned the gutters into
running brooks with some 150,000 quarts of liquor.
The agents wore goloshes and were armed with axes. Crowds
gathered as casks and barrels were spilt open.
A nearby store did a land office business in tin cups but the ax
armed agents waved the spectators back.
"You'll poison yourselves," shouted the agents. "That stuff is
i mixture of every known brand of moonshine and home brew."
Some spectators courted death but no casualties resulted.

lifeless body of Daniel VIckstrom,
60 year old Silverton resident
was found early this morning at
a bend in Silver creek where the

Mr. VIckstrom first disappeared
from his home early Saturday
morning. His wife told officers
she awoke about 5 o'clock to find
that her husband had risen, put
on his trousers and a sweater, and
departed. An extensive search,
conducted Sunday by a party head
ed by Sheriff Bower failed to dis
close any clew which might lead
to enlightment concerning the
missing man.
Mr. Viekstrom moved to Silver -ton
about one year ago from Litch

own a large ranch and other prop

Uniuh,Scores Parents
For Child Neglect; Lad
With Bad Check Freed
That parents often think them
selves too busy with their own af
fairs to give proper consideration
to their children's activities, was
jne of the observations made and
leplored by Judge G. E. Unruh yes
terday as hp dismissed the case
against 14-year-old Robert Boyn
ton of Gervais, charged with pass
ing a worthless check at the Ladd
& Bush bank.
"I parents would spend a little
more time with the children talk
ing to them, making honest-to-goodness
friends of them, explain
ing the right and wrong of things
to them it is my opinion the
courts would have few juvenile
cases to contend with," Judge Un
ruh said.
Lad Confesses.
Young Boynton, who is not much
bigger than the proverbial sixty sec
onds, confessed to police that it
was he who approached the cash
ier's window in the Ladd & Bush
bank on December 28 and realized
$22.40 on a check signed "R. A.
Harris" and made payable to "Al
fred Jones." When arrested by
Chief of Police Verden M. Moffltt
last week-end, young Boynton had
a check on his person made li able
to Carl Wilson by R. J. Man
ning, for the sum of $16.80, offi
cers said. After a "sweating" which
lasted approxmiately three hours
the lad confessed all corfcernlnrr
his activities here. Chief Moffltt
stated.
The charge against Boynton was
dismissed when an uncle, L. J. In
grey,' made good the amount of the
check which the youth had cashed.

Mr. Harding asked that not a

certain here that the inaugural ball
