OFFICERS GET 21 BARRELS IN CULVER RAID

SHERIFF FALCONBURY AND DEPUTIES SEIZE WET GOODS IN TWO SOFT DRINK PARLORS

HEARING TO BE HERE

Geo. Chapman and Garland Bogardus Are Visited by Searching Party Shortly Before Noon - Thursday,

Twenty-one barrels of bottled liquor were confiscated by Sheriff James Falconbury, and two deputies in a raid conducted on two soft. drink emporiums at Culver Thursday.

The wet goods were hauled away on dray, and loaded into a box car, to be shipped to Plymouth, and will be stored in the basement of the county jail here, where it will keep company with the present large store of confiscated liquors.

George Chapman, and Garland Bogardus were the Culver dealers, whose respective places of business were searched by the sheriff's party, armed with search warrants, issued by Justice of the Peace C. P. Holloway of Plymouth. William Z. Burton a contractor of Culver, was the complaining witness to Prosecutor Harry L. Unger.

The raids were made shortly before 1:00 o'clock yesterday afternoon. Sheriff Falconbury was accompanied by Jesse McNeely, and Joseph Durbin the latter of whom is constable.

Bogardus operates a soft drink business in what is known as the old Wolford room, directly back of the Vandalia station. The proprietor was present when the officers entered the place, and when told of their mission, told them to proceed, that all he sold was Homo, a temperence beer. Ninteen barrels containing whiskey were also found.

These were wrapped in gunny sacks. Bogardus was then served with a warrant charging the unlawful sale of intoxicating liquors by Constable Durbin, His preliminary hearing was set before Holloway in Plymouth, on Feb. 6.

The party then proceeded to the Chapman place, which is known as the old beer garden, located about two blocks west of the Vandalia station. Here two barrels were taken out, which were filled with the same kind of liquors.

Chapman was absent when the raid was made, and the officers waited a couple of hours for his return. No further warrant was. NOTE ENDED. - Weekly Republican, Plymouth Feb 9, 1911

RAID ON THE "JOINTS"

Two Places in Culver where "Homo" was Sold Put Under the Ban of the Law.

Two of Culver's "homo" joints were raided by the authorities last Thursday and the proprietor of one - Garland Bogardus - - was taken to Plymouth on a warrant sworn out by William Z. Burton of Logansport, a workman on the mess ball at the academy.

Sheriff Falconbury served the warrant and was accompanied by Constable Joseph Durbin of Plywouth.

On search warrants for both the Bogardus and Chapman places 2 barrels of homo were taken from Bogardus' place and 19 barrels from Chapman's.

Bogard gardus does business in the old Wolford place and Chapman in the old Kreuzberger stand.

The confiscated goods were shipped to Plymouth and stored in the basement of the county jail where it is said there are enough wet goods taken under raids in Plymouth to stock several saloons.

Bogardus was served with a warrant charging him with selling intoxicating liqnor and accompanied the sheriff to Plymouth where he gave bond for his appearance before Justice Holloway on Tuesday.

On Friday morning, O. H. Hudson and Litzenberger & Bogardus (Ralph), proprietors of homo resorte, shipped their stocks away. from town in order to forestall a possible search of their premises.

Ever since Culver went dry five years ago places have been maintained where the so-called temperance beers have been sold. In some of these places whiskey was dispensed on the sly.

For months past the town has supported four concerns which, in addition to cigars, pool games, eto., have made homo their stock in trade. Cases of intoxication have been frequent enough to prove either that homo is far from being a temperance beverage or that alcoholio drinks have been sold.

The pretense that homo is non-intoxicating gets its quietus from the fact that the sheriff confiscated it. For that matter the state chemist's analysis has revealed the presence of 5 per cent of alcohol in homo - a higher per cent than is usual in lager beer.

When the Bogardus case was called before Squire Halloway on Tuesday the complaining witness, Burton, was not present, and Prosecutor Unger dismissed the case.

The homo is to be held for analysis, and future action will depend upon the result.

As there was no complaint against Chapman doubtless the same rule will apply to him. - Citizen Feb 9, 1911

1911 - Feb 23 - Bogardus Found Guilty In the case of the State of Indiana VS Garland Bogardus of Culver for the destruction of intoxicating liquors, Justice of the Peace, C. P. Holloway, decided today that the liquors seized were intoxicating liquors, kept for unlawful purposes, and therefore should be destroyed. - Weekly Republican, Plymouth

THE HOMO CASES

The civil suit against Garland Bogardus for the selling of liquor, tried before Justice Holloway in Plymouth, resulted in a verdict against the goods which were ordered destroyed. THE HOMO CASES A chemical analysis of the "homo" showed the presence of 3.9 per cent of alcohol. The whiskey tested 50.6. THE HOMO CASES An analysis of the "homo" taken from George Chapman's place showed 5 per cent alcohol, and several beer samples from the same place, showed 4.9 alcohol. THE HOMO CASES Owing to the demands upon the time of the lawyers during the present term of circuit court, legal action against Chapman is deferred. - Culver Citizen Feb 23, 1911
