Alleged Blind Pig Raided In Newton County Saturday.

According to reports reaching this city today, an alleged blind pig, the property of Dr. Miller, of Colfax township, Newton county, was raided by Kentland officers some time Saturday night. It is stated that the officers sceured four or five barrels of beer, which, it is alleged, Miller had been selling the contents of to eager customers. Miller, it is said, has been in court on several previous occasions, charged with the illegal sale of intoxicants. Dr. Miller saw the officers coming and made his getaway. The officers gave chase but the doctor proved to have the longer legs and out-dis-tanced his pursuers and at last reports he is still at large.

Mr. and Mrs. James Anderson and the former’s mother, of Wheatfield, were in Rensselaer.
