BOotlegger Convicted

Chas. Rowe. the news agent en-
Mo-, passenger train was arrested
last Saturday night. charged with
bringing intoxicating liquor into
the county, and due search having
been made, some half dozen quart
bottles of rye Juice was found in
his possession. The liquor was
placed in the possession Of Justice
Blesser and Rowe was lodged in Jail
and a hearing set for case the Mon
day evening.
While Justice Bleser was away
from the Office Monday noon for
about a half hour. some one entered
the justice Office by prying open
the transom above the door of the
office, and when the justice return
ed from the restaurant the liquid
refreshment he had stored away as
evidence in the case had disappear
ed, upon examination it was seen
that the catch holding the transom
had been pried back to permit the
parties to enter the transom.
However. when the case came for a
hearing the defendant pleaded gull
ty and was fined 500 and jail SEN
tence, but the Jail sentence was sus-
pended. but will be enforced on ali
arrest for a second ofense. The
federal authorities in Minnesota are
also taking up the matter Of trans
porting liquor into dry territory.
and this together with the recent
convictions in our local courts
should at least have a tendency to
discourage the practice and con-
vince those who are doing it that
the violation of the liquor law will
not be winked at. County Attor-
ney Mani says he purposes prosecut-
ing vigorously all violation Of the
liquor law.
