A dance and euchre tournament was held in the Komata Hall on Saturday evening. A feature deserving f_of mention was the supper provided by the ladies, who also paid admission. As a result the hall fund benefited to the extent of 12s. Miss OSimpson and Mr H. McCormack won the euchre prizes. A Dunedin sergeant and two constables raided a house at edin last week tq ascertain whether there was any ground for' their suspicion that it was what in common parlance is'known as a sly grog shop .‘ (relates the Otago Daily Times).- As the police were ready to enter the house they n)et two men coming out, both'of them having booties of beer in, their ’possession. They, were ushered back into the house, whree four other- men were discovered, with the owner, indulging in a convivial glass. Shortly after there was aknock at the door, and then, the reassuring remark, “It’s a'H right,' Peter.” The newcomer was courteously but firmly invited by the police to come right iin. Another thirsty individual knocked at the door immediately after. He, to'o confidentially informed Peter that it was all right. The police him a hearty welcome., and in he Walked despite the fact that it had-dawned on him, that it was all wrong. The small hOv.se was now getting uncomfortably crowded, but not many minutes had elapsed when again came a knock at the door.. The latest comer ia hushed tones told ".Peter” it was quite all right, .and the police did not dispute his statement as thej r asked him to walk into their parlour —or ,rather, Peter’s parlour. There Were now 13 —an unlucky number, so it is said.—in the house, and the police decided to close their bag. A search of. the* house was made, and three dozen and nine bottles of beer were found'.
