Federal dry agents yesterday, under the direction of Chief Field Agent Wynkoop, arrested four asserted bootleggers in as many separate raids as the beginning of a campaign against the lesser fry in the liquor trade. A considerable quantity of liquor of all sorts was confiscated by the government raiders.
    Louis P. Knoblow was arrested at his home at 2316 Trinity street, where the officers found eleven cases of moonshine, gin, brandy, wine, champagne and vermouth.
    At 436 Towne avenue the dry agents took into custody Frank Beusmens, together with five gallons of moonshine and gin.
    J. Hamada was arrested at 241 South Main street and twenty quarts of moonshine were found in his possession.
    Joseph Collins was taken into custody at his home at 730� South Ottawa street. There the officers found fifteen cases of whisky, five gallons of moonshine and seven cases of gin.
    The prisoners were all taken to the Central Station on charges of possession of liquor.
