Booze Runners -- when the booze car or
cars got to their destination in Minot, a number of scenarios were possible.
Some of the garages had special elevators. When the car entered with the booze,
it would drive into a special elevator. This would either raise the car up to
the floor above or lower it to the floor below. If followed by officers, they
would enter the building and find no vehicle. By the time they would conduct a
search, the booze would have been unloaded and stashed safely or moved to
another location.
