Abstract

In the Driftway

The article presents information on Chicago, Illinois. The residents of an exclusive section on the outskirts of Chicago became annoyed by the presence of a roadhouse in the neighborhood and sent a deputation to the sheriff to ask that it be closed. The sheriff set out in a car with a squad of assistants to raid the place. Several other cars full of newspaper reporters followed. In all of them, somehow, were liberal supplies of liquor. The cavalcade not only lost its way but became quite oblivious of the straight and narrow path that cars should follow. But the sheriff did not forget that he was out to make a raid, even though he couldn't quite remember where. The law enforcers with great zeal burst into an unoffending bungalow, routed a man and his wife out of a deep sleep and wrecked the place.
