Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Police raid nets complete hooch still: Holland River marshes yielded another still during a police raid in Tom Foster's bush. Constables Barraclough and Brimacombe, and Provincial Officer Thompson came upon three alleged distillers with complete equipment, surrounded them and confiscated mash, liquor, and still as it stood. They arrested Alex. Foster; Peter Hodge and Emerson Sedore, all of whom are reported to have admitted their parts in the business. The confiscation and arrests mark the first time that a police raid at The Landing netted them the entire plant and alleged operators.
