Driving

Although it was his second
arrest for driving while intoxi-
Gated, Michael O'Donnell, 1928
Nichols avenue southeast, could
not be charged with a second
offense when arraigned in Traf-
fic Court today. Judge Robert
E. Mattingly sentenced him to
serve sixty days in Jail and to
pay a fine of $40, or serve an
additional sixty days, for driv-
ing while drunk, and so or
ten days for having no permit.
O'Donnell was arrested sew
eral months ego for the same
offense, pleaded not guilty and
demanded a jury trial. The
case has not been heard and
consequently he cannot be
charged with a second offense
on either case, since no convic-
ton has yet followed his first
arrest.
Policemen G. C. Thorn and H.
Hiltner arrested him last night.

Home BREWING OF
Beer EXPENSIVE
TO ALBION man

BY invoking a law with real
teeth" in it,--that making it lille
gal to manufacture intoxicating Ii
quor, except cider, without regard
as to whether the beverage is in
tended for sale or for home or per-
sonal consumption,-Mar Hamlin
of Albion was sentenced to serve
two months in the county Jail and
to pay fine of $1,000, the penalty
which the statute provides and in
which there is no mitigation or dis
cretionary powers left to the munic-
ipal court judge, when the Albion
man was found guilty of that charge
in Augusta municipal court before
Judge Robert A. Cony, Friday morn
ing.
The complaint in the case was
sworn out by Deputy Sheriff William
j. Cole. and, the case for the State
was prosecuted by County Attorney
Frank L. Southard. Deputy Cole
testified to two visits to Mr.. Ham,
Inns place, by himself and Deputy
Harry Pinkham. On the first trip
to- Albion on December II the Off
GERS found no one at home but gain
ed entrance to the house and saw
there an, eight gallon key full OF
home brewed beer. -
The deputies again went to the
Hamlin house on December 10, and
found Mr.. Hamlin in the process OF
brewing a batch of beer on the kitch-
en- stove. They also seized a guam
tity. of the liquor in pint and quart
bottles. ~-. ~
The respondent was not repre-
scented by counsel and entered plea
of not guilty. He told the court that
he had been making beer for his
own private use for the past ten
years and was ignorant of the fact
that he was violating the law. He
said that about two weeks previous
to the visit by the county officers he
had found note scrubbed in pen
Gil on a piece of paper bag. tucked
under his door which read, you are
going to he searched. Better get rid
of your stuff"
Hamlin said that he didn't give
the anonymous warning any thought
because he did not believe he was
doing wrong and had nothing to con-
ceal. He declared that he did not
know the alcoholic content of the
beer and did not believe that it was
intoxicating.
Evidence offered by the state
showed that a sample of the seized
beer tested out AS per cent by vol
ume. 1t was also testified that sew
eral complaints regarding conditions
at Hamlin's place had been received
at the sheriff's Office

Dream on West Dome

A dose of black sulpher water
at TITS feet brought a cruel end
ing to heavy dream of a gusher
dome on the west end of the
Kevin-Sunburst field, east Of the
new Big Elephant-Strange pro-
ducer in swA 92-35-2w. The
Alexander Charles No. well in
swA swA 33-35-3w, about a
mile east of the Big Elephant,
drilled into sulphur water in the
E lis. A Typographical condition,
accompanied by surface indica-
tions Of folding, was taken as
meaning that the Big Elephant
was on the low flank of local
high" that. if the geology were
correct, would offer opportunity
for some of the biggest wells in
the field.
H. F. Alexander, who financed
the well, is head Of the Olympic
Steamship company and Olympic
Refining company, and there was
considerable wonder in oil circles
why he went into the extreme
west end of the field to drill. The
existance Of the surface indica-
tions of high" were the reason
and admittedly, a very good
reason.
The Big Elephant well is max
ing about so barrels of fluid day,
about 80 barrels of water and 20
barrels of oil. Treasure State Oil
company is starting an east off
set, on the LiIIifors permit. The
