Moonshine,s that ignoble character
which portrays the william" in many
drama enacted throughout the
United States since his leading lady,"
Miss Prohibition, made her debut in
this country, July 1919, played the
stellar role in Observation-Disclosures
with somewhat shifting senses, in this
city, Wednesday night.
A Tame beginning.
The interesting playlet began IN
nocently enough and gave no fore
bodings of it's fateful fms until well
along in the various acts and scenes
that preceded the curtain. Once
started, however, the spirited action
gradually, but unmistakably, became
more tense and exciting, with a few
thrillers added, and the curtain
dropped on rather pathetic scene.
Quartet Visits New Ulm.
The "vodviP' performers in this
little heart, interest skit were tour
Gutzke brothers of Lafayette, who had
come to New Ulm Wednesday evening
to attend the dance at the Armory.
Everything went lovely, until fifth
party, whose identity has not penn
established, approached the quartet IN
a mysterious. manner and, tapping MS
hip significantly, invited them to a
secluded spot where they could par
take of fluid several thousand times
stronger than aqua pura, vulgarly
known as pure water. At any rate,
such is the tale that was told to the
court members of the quartet the
following forenoon.
Get Girls Sister.
The visitors continued to enjoy the
terpsichorean diversions until some
time before midnight, when the two
brothers who had made the acqualnt-
ance Of Mr.. Moonshine, left the
Armory and HE'D themselves to the
Setter House to escort the sister OF
one of their dance acquaintance to
the chop" Upon entering the hostel
ry, they were accosted by Mine Host
Fred Setter, who interrogated them
as to the object of their belated visit.
They informed him of their mission
and insisted upon carrying it to con-
clusion. Mr.. Setter did not share
their views and politely requested
them to "vacate the premises. Then
followed the first thriller Of the playlet
that had had such an innocent be-
ginning. They became noisome and,
realizing their condition, Mr.. Setter
called up the police.
Enter: Two Bluecoats.
Officers John F. Herzog and Anton
Groebner responded promptly and
took the two disturbers into custody.
They were escorted to the police
station and John, who seemed to be
considerably the worse for his ex-
perience with the fry liquid, was
placed in cell. His brother, Otto,
who had accompanied him to the
Setter House, went over to the Armory
to summon another brother, Emil.
The latter attempted to persuade the
police to release. John, promising to
"take care Of him, but was informed
that he was we'll taken care OF IN the
modernly appointed city lookup. lie
became argumentative and failed to
heed the officers invitation to leave
the police station Then was enacted
the second thriller, for it became
necessary to forcibly eject the intruder.
Before this act was completed, Ennis
actions were such that he also was
placed under arrest and lodged IN
cell in the city Jail.
The Final Curtain.
The free nights lodging seemed to
have had the desired effect OF sub
DUNG the excited young man, for next
morning he was picture of meekness.
Both brothers were ready for the final
curtain after having been introduced,
to City Justice N. Henningsen, who
after listening to a brief recital OF the
on the previous night, prompt
ly passed Judgment. Ten dollars
and costs each, or 80 days in the coun-
ty JAIL" was the sentence imposed
by the court. After skirmishing a
ound bit the two young men finally
succeeded in securing sufficient funds
from local friends to appease JUST
ice and regain their liberty. They
journeyed home, considerably wiser
as regards the enforcement of law in
New Ulm than when they arrived here.
