Ninety-nine per cent of all the liquor
seized by prohibition agents is polson-

sioner Haynes issued a day or tw, ago
in a statement. Of $0,000 samples an-
alyzed during the fiscal year ending
July 30, last, less han 800 were found
to be good liquor. The remaining 79.-
200 contained substances that would
have resulted in varying degrees of

death. Those capablé* of causing death

west of Pine Grove Mills, was found
in the mountains about 1% miles from
his home on Tuesday evening of last

When his mother discovered the boy
was missing, District Attorney Furst,
at Bellefonte, was notified and search.
ing parties began a search of the
countryside. As hours passed and no
trace of the youngster could be found,
