Whiskey Warehouse Hijacked By Miscreants

July 1911--According to the Daily Age, the government lock on the door of the Coshocton Distilling Company was found to have been broken by some unknown "miscreants".

Whether or not and how much whiskey disappeared would not be determined until the government gauger arrived from Newark.

The liquor, formerly owned by Samuel Siegrist, was sold to J.J. Murray of Canton and locked down by the gauger pending removal. Authorities were unable to determine how long the lock had been broken, but were confident that product had been stolen.

I wonder if numerous, staggering, whiskey breathed men may have tipped them off?
