Deputy Sheriff Makes Arrests.

Last Monday afternoon four resi-
dents of Princeton and Bogus Brook
townships were arrested for unlawful
ly selling Intoxicating liquor. The
four men arrested were Fred Rick,
Chris Kern, Henry and Fred Kunkel.
They were taken before justice Keith
and all Of them pleaded guilty.
Tuesday morning the four men were
taken by Sheriff Shockley and County
Attorney Doane to St. Cloud to ap-
pear before Judge Roeser., The Judge
gave the culprits good sound lecture
in regard to dealing in moonshine.
Each man was fined and given sus-
pended Jail sentence. The law states
that anyone convicted of selling moon
shine shall be fined at least $3.50 and
given Jail sentence of at least 80
days, but the judge also has the au-
thority to suspend the sentence at his
discretion. Since the four men who
appeared before him are industrious
farmers and are in general considered
good citizens in most particulars,
Judge Roeser in each case suspended
the Jail sentence. He instructed each
man to report to him on the first day
of the court session in Mile Laos coun-
ty next fall and to hereafter abstain
from all illicit liquor traffic. On vio-
lation of the provisions laid down by
the Judge, the Jail sentences will auto
matically go into effect.
Henry Kunkel was fined 1925, Fred
Kunkel $3.50, Fred Rick SITS and
Chris Kern 5000. IS
It is reported number of other ar
rests are to be made in the north end
of the county. Mile Laos county is
being included in the general state
moonshine cleanup that is being con-
Quoted by federal, state and local au-
thorities.

Sunday at Green lake to celebrate the
fiftieth anniversary Of the Masonic
order in Princeton.
Approximately 40 families ladened
with lunch baskets assembled on the
bluff on the west shore Of the lake
about noon. The company, as the din
ner hour approached, separated into
five or six smaller groups and pro-
ceeded to completely satisfy the wants
of the inner man. AS usual at the
Masonic affairs there was no dearth Of
provisions.
During the afternoon some of the
younger members of the party and a
few of their particularly energetic ell
ders doned their bathing suits. The
swimmers all reported that the water
was comfortably warm although there
was decided chill in the air. Several
groups of players spent the greater
part of the afternoon in contesting for
honors at the old-fashioned game of
horseshoe, which is now in such great
vogue.
At about 6 o'clock the lunch baskets
were again unpacked. Shortly after
supper the visitors departed.
