SEE AMERICA, SURE, BUT SEE SHERIFF FIRST Murray's Keen Vision Costs Him Drink But Saves Him from Arrest William (Bill) Murray, proprietor of a temp. bar at Sixth and Division streets, has revamped the old slogan of "See America First" to read "See the Sheriff before he sees you and thereby escape going to jail. The new slogan was working in good shape last night when Sheriff Frank Martin and his deputies swooped down on the bar in raiding formation. But "Bill" saw them first. When the sheriff and his deputies entered the barroom, "Bill" was busy dumping a mysterious liquid into the drain behind the bar. The officers searched the premises but failed to discover any liquor. No arrest was made but the case will be called to the attention of the grand jury now in session, attaches of the sheriff's office announced this morning. Murray's bar has been raided at least twice within as many months.
