parsonage girls insisted was his most
valuable ministerial asset, he gave his
second girl in marriage.
It surely was Fairy's way, plain and

George w. Sears again selling booze.
With Sears at the time were his wife

Sears is no stranger to the booze
game nor fines for violating the law.
It was in his home in Bemidji not
long ago that q stranger in Bemidji
was made intoxicated and discovered
next morning lying cold and wet in
a mud hole. Sears was arrested by
the city police and fined 800.
It was about $3.50 o'clock that
Brandt and Johnson hid near the
spot where Sears was arrested. Bears
was in his car, at the time and was
discovered selling booze to two men.
When the arrest was made Sears was
inclined to be a little ugly but was
taken to Jail and then Brandt and
Johnson returned for the men who
bought the booze One Of them
named Frank Trout was found and
also arrested. al
What interested Brandt muchly
was that several we'll known citizens
of ,Bemidji drew up at the scene in
cars and whistled in a low tone to
attract Sears, but failed to tarry
long when the response was not
prompt. Brandt saw them from his
