Sheriff Woodward and Marshal Carmean paid a midnight call to the Star club over Billy Williamson's cigar store and Harry Miller's barber shop at 913 Massachusetts street, Saturday evening. They catured 12 full cases of beer, $40 in cash, the proceeds of his afternoon and evening's sales, 15 or 20 cases of 'empties," some corkscrews and a large number of glasses and mugs.

Several members of the club were in the room at the time of the raid, but all were released except Cook, Mr. Perkins had said that he intended to convert his large fortune into the form of insurance. This the attorneys for Mrs. Perkins regard, as a strong point in favor of the estate, for while the interest alone would not be sufficient to pay the by converting his fortune into insurance as Mr. Perkins gave as his intention, the capital and interest would have been sufficient to pay the premiums for at least fifteen years.

The Mystery Solved. The statement of the property of Mr. Perkins filed with the probate court will be read with interest by the people of Lawrence. Ever since his death the amount of his property has been a mystery to the public. All sorts of vague rumors have been afloat as to its size and value.

As the result of an explosion of an acetyline gas machine Saturday evening, Fred Klock was burned painfully, bnt not seriously about the forehead and his store building at 816 Massachusetts street, the 5 and 10 cent store, was set on fire. The blaze was extinguished by some quick work of the fire department without any great amount of damage being Klock was working in his cellar cleaning up. He ran across an old acetylene machine and, not knowing just what it was, struck it with a hammer. This evidently let water into the carbide tank and caused the formation of acetylene gas. He noticed water running out and struck a match to see what the matter was.

The flames quickly spread about the basement and soon quite a fire was under headway. The estate does not show that he had any property there. The largest single item was his interest in the Perkins real estate company which the trustees place at $60,000. In cash and cash items he left nearly $45,000, while his mansion west of Lawrence was valued at $40,000. The fact that much of his money fi Woodward made the raid alone.
