Left Their Booze and Money.

Sheriff John A. Fulton guessed
that as the roads were getting in
fair condition, the booze traffic
would be starting up, SO he rambled
down to Lamont Sunday evening and
out couple Of miles south just on
suspicion that booze car would be
coming along and he was right in
his surmise, for soon a big Cadillac
hove in sight, and when stopped by
the sheriff was found to contain be-
tween five and six hundred pints of
booze, and three men, the driver civ,
ing his namelas James Banning, ana
the others as Charles Patti and
Charles Fishman, all of Des Moines.
The booze, car and men were brought
to Leon, the three men being placed
in JAIL Monday evening Judge Full
.,er came over from Mt. Ayr, as the
fellows wanted hearing at once,
and they all plead guilty to. bootleg
ging, Banning being fined $500 and
costs, and the other two $50 and
costs. An injunction was also is
sued against each of them, and the
costs in this matter amounted to SO
each, and the auto was ordered held
until the fine and costs were paid.
Tuesday the fellows dug up the
money, and paid into court the sum
of $512 and were released. They
started ostensibly for Des Moines in
their car Tuesday evening, but
parties saw them hitting the high
places on the Davis City road and
they probably went back to Missouri
after another load of booze to make
llD for their loss.
