N. U. STUDENTS CAUGHT IN RAID
LINCOLN, March 21.—Five University of Nebraska students, 120 bottles of beer, and nearly a gallon of alcohol were taken in a raid on an apartment house just across the street from the University of Nebraska campus here Saturday.
The five students were arraigned in justice of the peace court, pleaded not guilty to charges of possession, and were released without bond to appear Thursday.
According to Police Capt. Frank Weygint, who conducted the raid, the five are Fred Wickman, 19, of Tekamah; Jack Calkins, 18, of York; Warren Crawford, 19, of Lake City, Ia; George Cook, 24, of Casper, Wyo., and Max Von Bargen, 20, of Lincoln.
Two suitcases, apparently fitted to carry bottles, were also found, Capt. Weygint said. Deputy County Attorney Farley Young filed the charges.
Dr. T. J. Thompson, dean of men at the university, said he had been informed of the arrests but would make no investigation until Monday.
In another raid Saturday night, Capt. Weygint arrested Earl Smith, a former Lincoln police officer, on liquor charges and sent home five high school boys found at his place. - Source
