Ruling on motions for dismissal in
the case of the state against Augustus
Baker, Judge A. T. Cole in the dis
trict court today held that it is i'm
material whether the liquor, alleged
to have been imported in this case
was bought in wet territory or not
and that a spotter is not an accomp-
lice though the new law makes ac-
complices in liquor purchases liable
to conviction as bootleggera.
The ruling Of the new judge in this
case is an indication Of his stand as
an advocate OF prohibition and the
announcement came as quite jolt to
number Of alleged bootleggers who
have been waiting in the county Jail
to plead before Judge Cole rather
than appear before Judge Charles A.
Pollock. = 90
Baker was arrested a short time
ago on a charge Of having gone out
side Of the state and purchased some
liquor for which money had been
given him by couple or spoilers.
Judge w. H. Barnett appeared for the
defense and argued for dismissal on
the ground that his client had taken
the money of the spoilers and acted
as their agent in purchasing the
liquor in a place outside the state
where 1t was perfectly legal to buy
and sell intoxicants. He also called
attention to that portion OF the new
bootlegging law which makes any
other persons connected with the
transaction in any way bootleggers
and subject to fine or jail sentence
and argued the spoilers were guilty
under the law as accomplices.
Judge Cole overruled the motion
for dismissal which Judge Barnett
placed on the plea that there was no
cause Of action.
This is the first time that the new
bootlegging law has been tried out in
this county.

CIRCULATED STICKERS
ON ELECTION DAY--LOS1

Fergus Falls, Jan. 11.-A decision has
been handed down in district court un-
seating Henry Flora as county com
missioner from the Staples district in
Todd county. Flora ran as sticker can
didate. He distributed some of his
stickers before election, but, fearing
that everyone would not secure them,
hired FIVE men to distribute them at the
different polling places in his district
on election day, while two others
worked free of charge.
The Judge finds Flora has forfeited
his right to hold the office by paying
the five men to distribute the stickers
on election day and also that they
worked within less than 100 feet of the
polling places. The contest was
brought by Flora's opponent, Commits
sioner Remillard.
