ARRESTED UNDER NEW LAW
Man Is Taken Into Custody for Drink
ina Aboard Train.

What Is said To be the first arrest
i'm the state under the new law pro-
hibitins drinking on trains, was made
in Houghton county yesterday on the
train that arrives i'm Houghton from
Calumet at o'clock. The arrest was
made by Conductor Dan Vaughn. for
mer mayor of Marquette, who is the
conductor ON the South Shore train
cut of Calumet and the man arrested
was Louis Nico, trammer from the
Wolverine mine.
Nico and a party of men were ON
their way To Perth Amboy, y. j., TO
take positions. The men were pro-
vided with bottles of whiskey, an al
most colorless liquid, and were pass
ing il among themselves on the train
when Conductor Vaughn entered.
The law stated that after July 10
drinking of offering a drink was pro-
hibited in Michigan. Conductor Vaughn
demanded that Nice turn the bottle
over To him and that he could have ii
back after he left the train. The law
gives him this authority, but Nice, who
speaks little English, became excited
and refused TO pass the bottle over to
the conductor
The conductor placed him under ar
rest and when the train reached
HouChton, handed Nico over To Il
deputy sheriff. Prosecuting Attorney
Anthony Lucas was on the train and
was a Witness To the arrest.
Nico was brought before Justice
| u'Sullvan and as in his case there
| had been no conscious violation OF the
| law which is SO new that it has no'
| had time To circulate through the usual
| channels, the justice was lenient ana
| released Nico on the payment of the
costs. The arrest was made in Osceola
| township.
! Nico wore a gold and green sham
rock, but denied Indignantly that II
was Irish He said il was the en-
| blcm of a Hungarian society.
