The supreme court of the state of
Minnesota reversed the decision of
the district court in the county op-
tion appeal and the county is legally
saloonless territory, or will be after
the courts mandate goes into effect
within a few months, and this de-
cision will put out all liquor joints
and keep Campbell Lake club dry.
The grand jury also returned in
dictments against the following al

Chris Rogers, conducting an un-
licensed liquor selling establishment,
and three counts for selling booze
to individuals.
Gust Olson, Midway club, for con-
Quoting an unlicensed liquor joint,
