Willmar, Mimi, June 9, 1907.
To the Public:
A good deal has been written
and said relative to my arrest and
conviction for selling Swedish Malt
in this city. 1t appears that some
parties are misinformed or wilful-
ly misrepresent matters. | there
fore think an explanation is in place
at this time.
Before ever took the agency for
the sale of the malt | went to see
the manufacturers of the same and
they told me it was soft drink
that was sold all over the state and
had no Intoxicating qualities. l
therefore took the agency. This
was about six years ago. l also
consulted with the City Attorney
at the time and after inquiring he
Informed me that the malt was not
Intoxicating. l then commenced
to sell the same and it was sold
open and above board and no one
who ever drank it could find that
the same had any intoxicating
effects. My place was run as or
derby and respectable as any bust
ness place in town and no COM
plants were made. In all their
efforts the enforcement league and
the officers of the city in prevent
ing the illegal sale of intoxicating
liquors could ever find a detective
or any other person who drank the
malt to testify that it had any in
toxicating effect. And we must
certainly admit that they were vigil
liant in enforcement of the law.
1t appears to me that the present
claim that the malt is intoxicating
is an effort made by certain dis
satisfied City Officials to get even
by reason of the last City election.
The interest taken by the Gazette
and Journal in this matter appears
to agree very we'll with the posi-
ton they took in the spring cleo
ton. | have often heard and be-
lieve it to be true that a man al
ways ought to sweep his own door
step before he criticises his neigh
bors. The reasoning by which the
Journal arrived at the conclusion
that this malt is intoxicating may
be clever but the logic is not ire
sistible. The same editor also made
the statement that | had been ar
rested several times for the sale of
intoxicating liquor. This may be
true, but God forbid that l should
ever be arrested and brought into
court on the charge that he was.

4. Somebody said the work was
done with a road grader, but we
can't believe it. It would be too
much of a waste of work, and it
makes one sick to even think of
driving there. If that is road
work it is time for a radical
change.
A grand ball was given at Mats
Renstrom's place on the evening
of the Fourth.
Mrs. Peter Lindquist has re-
turned home from Dassel were she
has been visiting with her brother,
Olof Olson, formerly of this place.
A baseball game was played at
the ball park near the lake last Sun
day between the Fahlun team and
a pickup nine of Lake Lillianites.
The latter won by a large major
ity. The south shore of Big Kan
diyohi lake is getting to be a pop
ular place these hot days; especially
on Sundays. 1t is a fine place in
which to cool off and get a good
rest.
The Olivia Review reporter from
here says that J. E. johnson had to
take his cultivator apart last Satur-
day in order to get home over the
new graded road in Dist. four, as
the shovels caught in the big musk
rat piles. That would almost make
a preacher say a few bad words.
A regular thunderbolt struck the
north shore of Lake Lillian in the
afternoon of the Fourth, when
Sheriff Bonde descended on the
blind pig. Bonde knows his bust
ness and we extend our thanks to
him for doing his duty so we'll. A
few more such thunderbolts will
clear the atmosphere of the smell
of decomposed barley and corn.
