the authority of a search warrent
from County Attorney. c. E. Phillips,
Deputy Sheriffs Eli Klugherz Of Man
kato and w. P. Lewis and Chief of
Police Ben Davis OF this place made
search of Henry Gibbons pool hall
about half past seven Monday even
ing. The careful search of the pre-
misses of the above named resulted
in the finding of a partly filled bottle
of liquid, which is alleged to be
moonshine. Deputy Sheriff Klugherz
sealed the bottle of evidence before
several witnesses and took same to
Mankato where he will have the
contents analysed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles James and
daughter Barbara returned home last
evening from an extended tour to
Ada, Mimi. where Mr.. James went
to care for the interests of his farm,
and other points. The crops around
Ada, and across the Dakota line are
very poor and it is doubtful that after
paying for the harvesting and thres>-
ing, the farmers will have enough
returns to pay for the seed. The
charge for threshing in that district
charge goes on the same whether
the machine is moving from one
place to another or threshing. All
machines up there carry their own
cook wagons and board their own
men. That accounts somewhat for
the seemingly unreasonable charge
for their work. Mr.. James says that
the potato crop around, Ada, Grand
Forks and near Wadena, MINI. is
about half what it was last year, al
though he states that when they first
went to Ada, that potatoes could be
bought for one dollar a bushel, but
have raised since them. At Grand
| Forks they are shipping potatoes for
one dollar and a half per bushel F.
o. B. car at the place. With. the
| mated it would cost somewheres
| about sixty five cents a bushel to
! ship from Grand Forks to Lake Cry
stall in carloads lots. They all en-
! joyed the trip and found the roads in
| good shape when going out, but the
route they took in coming home they
encountered several long stretches
| of road under construction and very
| slow going.
Ben Davis and G. A. Johnson were
in Mankato on legal business Monday
afternoon.
