- Evanston women are very fond of their husbands. They not only want them to stay at home on Christmas eve, but also on Christmas night. Assistant Chief Robert Johnston had complaints from west side women Friday night that their husbands were wasting their time and a few stray nickels in blind pigs.
Johnston with eight policemen, raided two suspected places and in both instances the keepers were caught with the "goods." The houses raided were Frank Kuswinski's at 1001 Dodge avenue and Alexander Puscewiscz's at 1127 Dodge avenue. At the former the keeper and seven of his guestss were taken into custody along with two double cases of beer. It is said that Mrs. Kuzwinski smashed a jug which contained a liquid stronger than cider when the police entered. One of the officers got a shoe full, which he brought as evidence. At the other place the owner with four inmates were arrested. Here a little more of the incriminating evidence was found. All of the men were released on $100 bond and their hearing set for January 5. - Date of Publication
