Both men were rleased under bonds of $1,500 tarh. pending their trial next Thursoay, Brenich was not at the. saloon when the raid was made and did not appear till an hour after it was ov-.r. Some splendid co-operation was had tn the Zvitch family. While Mike was '.yening to Ed Bcrwan-.r r:aa tne varrint, the -w'lfs and Utile girl in the lesr were doing their darndest to desttcy the evidence. As soon as they found out what It was all about Mrs. Zvitch started for an adjoining bedroom on the run. An agent was clrse behind, but she managed to get inside and partly close the door. Then a hand-to-hand struggle took place with honors about event. Berwanger, having complied with the formalities of the law. threw his weight against the door. The tide turned In favor of law and order. There was a reason for Mrs. Zvitch trying to get the door loeVed a srallon and a half of It. In the meantime Gus Simons found two whiskey glasses and a pint of moonshine behind the bar. The little girl contributed a lot of noise to the ra'd. which .was evidently meant( to move the agents to pity. HAMMOND MAN ALUMNI SECRETARY H I. I I CRAWFORDSVILLE, Ind., August 8. Charlea S.
