SEIZED BOOzEBUNCH
Albert Lea Authorities Do
Round Up There
YOUNG WING AS SLEUTH
How Evidence Was c
against Many Me-,
eral Jailed

All ert Lea. July 15.-Albert Lea
authorities have been on the scent OF
booze dispensers the past lew days.
For some time County attorney j,
o. Petersen has had one Lyle Wing,
of this city, employed getting evil
dence that he hoped would lead to
the arrest and conviction OF the local
violators of the liquor law:
Tuesday morning Sheriff Fosse
and Deputy Ed. Jensen armed with
six warrants, caused the arrest OIL
Art w. Jensen, proprietor of the res
taurant at the corner of East Clark
and Newton streets; Philip Sparlc-
inc, one of the proprietors OF the
Shoe repairing parlors on East Clark
street; Andy Lowe, George New
berger, Lloyd Doty and Leonard
Hanson, all of this city. All were
charged with selling booze and
moonshine to Lyle Wing.
Young Men Were Arraigned
At four o'clock in the afternoon
the six young men were arraigned
in Judge Blackmer's court on the
charge. Sparicino was the only one
who had an attorney to defend him.
l.. II. Ostrander acted as his attor-
ney. Art Jensen was to have had
an attorney, but he was unable to
locate him so was obliged to defend
himself.
In each case Mr.. Wing was sworn
and had in his possession the bottle
OF mooushine or whisky he had pur-
chased from the man charged with
the sale. He told just where he had
made the purchase and how much he
ICd paid for it. He had the evidence
so well and was so familiar with the
"details that he could relate every
thing. In fact, he named the differ
ent ones who went with him when
he bought the stuff.
Told About Conversation
Art Jenson's case was the last TO
O'Clock Jensen had stoutly denied
selling whisky to Wing. At the hear
ing at four o'clock Mr.. Wing under
oath told how he had gone to the
Jensen restaurant, how he had IN
terviewed Art and had inquired II
he had any good stuff; how Art had
said he could get him a bottle tol
SIS; how Jensen had left the store
and had returned with full quart
You know, Art, when you TOOK tae
corkscrew and attempted to oper
the bottle you broke the cork in two
when you pulled" said Wing as he
turned to Art, II then kicked about
the quality of the whisky and said il
was moonshine. You denied it being
moonshine. You said it was goot
whisky. You remember all this CON
versation. Now don't you, Art?"
Admitted Selling the Whisky
After Wing was through telling il
detail how he bought the bottle o
whisky from Jensen and where h'
was when he bought it and how HI
had paid over the SIS given to hin
by the County Attorney, Jensou thel
admitted that he had sold the wills
key to Wing for the above amour
but that he had to leave his store t.
get the booze. Where did you ge
it??" asked Mr.. Peterson. Il got
at Hotel. Albert from st. Pau
man." answered Jensen. Jensen ad
mitted he didn't lose any money il
the deal. Judge Blackmer bound hin
over to the grand jury on $50
bonds. All of the boys exceptin
Jensen are in the county jail await
ing trial. 1t is said that all five pris
y oners are now ready to plead guilt
and take their medicine.

MODERN SAMSON
 RUNS WILD AND WRECKS DARKROOM

Cleveland.-P1umbe carpenters, glaziers, all are at work rejuvenat- ing the barroom of the old Parker House, Columbus road. which for fif- ty years has catered to the thirst of many travellers reaching the city over the Big Four Railroad.
 A new bar will be built The long placed. A new cigar case will be purchased to replace the old one. Hot and cold water pipes leading from the barroom to guestrooms above will be replaced and numerous holes in the clustering will be filled.
 The decision to rejuvenate the his toric spot was made by the proprie- tor after a visit by Kenneth Urqu- hart, who was formerly an engineer on a lake vessel and a man of pow erful physique.
 According to statements made by the proprietor and Urquhart to the gument with the bartender over change from $20 bill.
 The argument did not suit Urqu hart, so he got a good grip on the under edge of the bi bar and turned it completely over. The cigar cas, was crushed in the powerful hand like an ordinary person would crust an eggshell. The big mirror crashed l to the floor in minute fragments l Then twas a simple matter to reno l the water pipes from their place ol | the wall.
 The noice of the work of the mod
 ern Samson attracted a large crowd l which, however, stood back in aw | of his prowess.
 A charge of destroying proDert l was placed against him.

Like Crusoe She Lived Alone On
 Desert Island

Oakland, Calif.-To Mrs. Charles R. Stone has fallen the experience of being Mrs. Robinson Crusoe
 Recently during a twenty months visit with her husband in the Phil ippineS she was washed overheard from a sailing vessel during a ty- phoon and spent three days on an un- inhabited island
 Her husband is an importer and exporter, Mrs. Stone said. His busi- ness took him to Iloilo in the Phil ippineS. She went along They trav- eled on a dinky little coasting steam CT.
 It was such a stormy wInd that it was rated as a typhoon, and the little craft bobbed like a cork bat ting it AS the storm began to sub side. Mrs. stone. life preserver, on her arm. went on deck to get some air. She got more than air. She got so huge wave in the back that she went overheard, and the folk on | the boat could not rescue her. While the distracted husband and l the boat went on to. Bolino, Mrs i Stone and her life preserver went
 on regular Robinson Crusoe isle. | "I have an intimate knowledge now
 felt when he was cast ashore on the 1 desert island. I knew that this is- 1 land that I was on could not be va cant at all times for I found the rem l nants of shermen's camps. I just | buckIed up and ate fruit and waited There was plenty of fruit on the is- land. The weather was good and out
 doors was no hardship"
 Three days later fishermen found
 her, and in their boat she went to 1 Bo1ino and found a. husband who l mourned her for dead.
