Chief Of Police Fox arrested a man
named a. Strand, representing the W.
A. Edwards supply house Of Minneap-
oils, fer having violated the anti-ped-
dler's law passed by the state legislature
last winter. Strand was soliciting dress
goods from house TO house. AT his trial
in Judge Boyle's court he swore he was
taking orders for a Minneapolis house.
The case turns upon the true construc-
ton of the law. and Strands legal ad.
visers made a strong argument for a dis.
missal Of the case; but Judge Boyle
found Strand guilty and imposed a fine
OF s25, in default OF which he was re
manded to Jail. Habeas corpus proceed
ings will probably follow. This is the
first real test case Of the new law and
was instituted by the Yankton Retail
Merchants association, which was but
recently organized. The association pro-
poses TO protect their interests as far as
possible.
Another arrest has been made here,
upon a warrant issued by Deputy Sher-
IF Tschetter, in the person OF Frank
charged with being impli-
Gated in robberies at Scotland, Marion
and elsewhere. Culligan, who
vas first arrested, has been released by
he authorities here because he could
'e held no longer; but Chief OF Police
states he is liable to be rearrested. I
