Full Text

On last Saturday night four deputies from the sheriff's office raided what is said to have been a "blind pig," belongint to George H. Steffias [unclear] on Wilmette avenue between Fifteenth and Sixteenth streets, and arrested twelve menn. The men wer loaded into two automobiles and taken ot the Village hall, where they were later released on bonds. Their trial came up yesterday, too late for this paper to give the particulars. It has long been known that a 'blind pig" was operating somewhere in the neighborhood of Wilmette avenue and Sixteenth street, but until Saturday night no action had been taken. Another alleged "dive" of this character was visited by the deputies, but the place had evidently been warned, as nothing incriminating was found.
