WHISKY ON ROAD

Police Cannot Explain Why It Was Abandoned. The discovery of a burled treasure would not have caused as much excitement as the finding by residents In the neighborhood of West Eighteenth avenue and Hooker street Den- ( yer, Colo., of two cases of whisky strewn about the street corner. Investigation proved that the whisky was of the "moonshine” variety, so they notified the police. Detective George Schneider of the city bootleg squad responded to the call and confiscated 24 quart bottles of the Jlquor. „ He is at a loss to account for the abandonment of the booze upon the street He holds to the theory, that two booze cars were about to make a transfer at some time during the night, and that one becaine frightened at a possible threat of highjacking and fled, throwing the liquor overboard. ■ •— —
