Fairmont Independent: l.. J. Ann
undsen, the local agent of the Mich
ael Brewing company, was arrest
ed this morning and plead guilty to
the charge of selling liquor on Dec
Grafton day between the hours of
ten and three o'clock. There is a
state law forbidding liquor being
sold during those hours. 1t appears
that few thirsty individuals had not
been warned of the fact that the
saloons would close at ten o'clock
and hence neglected to put in
supply. They went to the Michael'
Brewing company's place of bust
ness and sought to buy enough to
tide them over the brief dry spell.
Mr.. Amundsen claimed that he was!
not aware of the existence of such
law, and having a wholesale Ii
cense, sold it in such quantities as
he thought he had right to do.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse.
and the arrest was made and fine
paid.
