John Cunningham was arrested at
ten minutes after he hit the
town from Aberdeen with a grip full
of booze. The ma had not sold any
of his wares, but he was taken into
court and Judge Lynch Of LaMoure
gave the man a jury trial. The jury
found him guilty and the court sen.
fenced him to 100 days in the county
jail. The action was brought under a
law passed by the last legislature.
