fer of Ramona Arrested

lex, nightwatch at Abilene, went to
Ramona Wednesday where they ar
rested George Albright and Barney"

lene at o'clock Thursday morning

fer had $500 In his pockets when
he was arrested.
Albright pleaded guilty before JUS

Kloepfer was found guilty ON two
charges In Justice Brann's court and
fined 500 and 80 days in Jail on
each count. He gave notice of ap-
peal and his bond was fixed at ST.
500.
The men were charged with SELL
ing booze In various parts of Dick
inson county and being responsible
for supplying the liquor to the drunk
en- man who drove the car which
ran over Oliver Edwards Sunday
afternoon. Kloepfer would line up a
customer and send Albright out to
the edge Of town to deliver the boot
leg, according to Albright's story,
and by the time Albright got back
to town there would be another Gus
omer ready. The officers have been
on the trail of the men for some
time but only last week obtained
