HOT WORDS IN ALBERT LEA
Booze Case That Brought Out Sar-
castle Remarks Of Attorneys


Albert Lea, August 19-Holding
court on moopshine and drunk cases
in Albert Lea is not pink tea at
fair.
The case which brought the YER
bal battle between the two topmost
limbs of the law was that of Jack
Oseen, charged with having liquor
at his home.
I'm tired of monkeying around
in this case" said Prosecutor Pet
erson to Justice Hammond. Now
Osteen asks for a change OF venue
so the judge can act as his attor-
ney. understand Osteen is a rem
ter of one of your houses, judge"
acting as Osteen's attorney" he
said: IF you say so you are a
liar"
well, Osteen said that was the
reason he wanted a change of ven
ue." You're a liar" Shouted Os
teen at Peterson.
But the end of the Albert Lea
booze episodes is not yet.
Today's issue of the Tribune car
ried two more stories that indicate
that alcoholic moisture has not
abated to any noticeable extent.
Excitement was running high"
says The Tribune when Art Jen-
sen discovered a Mexican lying on
his back in the road He had his
arms outstretched, apparently dead
10 the world"
But Art is a shrewd cuss. He
didn't stop. He turned around and
went backsto town to get a witness,
Upon returning" says the Tribune
they found that the Mexican was
living, but too drunk to know it."
Some Mexicans. who gathered
amt drunk-he never drinks" and
asked to have him removed to a
Mexican's shack. Here the Mexicans
soused the embalmed one with a
bucket of ice water. He awoke and
tore off a few .Carambas and Pieces
of Eight after which his pals wrap
ped him in a blanket, wet clothes
and all to sober up.
He has gone this morning"
plaintively remarks the Tribune, $50
the treatment was good"
Then another item:
liver ChriStopherson, who tried
to drive his Buick through an auto
occupied by Carl Benson and two
young ladies, was arrested, charged
with being drunk. Seven witnesses
for the state swore that Christie
phersen was drunk and staggered,
Christopherson had one witness,
who wouldn't swear whether he
thought the defendant was drunk
or sober. Everything was going
lively when a poor boob brings in
a quart bottle of moonshine, which
he said he\s Christopherson hide
in the weeds after the accident. All
this after Christopherson had sworn
that he was sober. and hadn't had
a drop to drink all that day. Too
bad, but the judge is understood to
be taking the case under, advise

Some months ago mail robberies
came thick and fast. Bandits were
making many rich hauls. The public
was becoming demoralized.
Then the government put the
United States marines to guarding
the registered mails. Instead Of get
ting money the bandits got bullets in
their carcasses. Some said good
morning to the devil.
The marines had no future votes to
consider, hence they shot, and shot
straight, and mail robberies ceased.
All of the rest of the banditry that
is disgracing this country could be
handled and checked as effectively if
officials would consider only the con-
scientious discharge of their duty and
get away from the prevailing custom
of pandering to the votes Of the Grim
inal element.
Law and order can not expect to
accomplish anything by sleeping
while criminality works.
