The sheriff’s force conducted a raid on the home of Mrs. Grace Bunny who lives in the coulee south of the Minot Gas plant. A quantity of liquor was found. While the officers were still in the house a car drove up and the occupant alighted and knocked on the door. A member of the raiding force opened the door and invited the person in but the man declined stating that he “must have come up the wrong road.”
