Severe Penalty for Driving
While Intoxicated Will be
Z Made in All Cases

The authorities of Redwood coun-
ty have started campaign upon any
and all persons who operate motor
vehicles while under the influence of
Intoxicating liquor. Prosecutions in
the future will come under the 1927
law which increased the penalty to a
gross misdemeanor; the maximum
penalty of which is S1,0OO.OO fine
or one year in the county jail.
The first case in which severe
penalty was exacted was that of JUL
ius Neeb of Sanborn who was recent
ly apprehended and taken before
Judge Gislason at New Ulm. Neeb
was charged with driving motor We
hicle while intoxicated. After a
severe reprimand by the court he was
fined $4,000 and costs and sentenced
to serve so days in the county Jail;
in case the fine and costs were not
paid. the guilty party is TO serve an
additional go days in the county jail.
After the sentence was made the
court stated that if the penalty was
not severe enough in this case to de-
ter others from driving while drunk,
sentences could and would be made
greater.

PHONE SERVICE IN
RAMSEY,PARK ENDS
Coin Box in Park Phone Booth
Broken into Several Times.
Company Stops Service

Owing to the acts of vandals, it
has become necessary for the Red
wood Falls Electric Telephone Com
pany to discontinue the service which
has been rendered to the patrons and
tourists in Ramsy State Park. On
several occasions the coinbox in con-
nection with the phone has been
broken into and the contents thereof
removed, but the last act of vandal-
ism was the removal of the coin box
entirely and a part of the telephone
itself was also taken.
In commenting upon the act, A. D.
McRae, secretary of the company
said, "This phone was placed in the
booth, provided by the Park Board,
for the convenience of everyone Wis
iting the Park, and when we take
into consideration the fact that the
Telephone Company has received in
remuneration for this service for the
first eight months of the year, only
1920 and that they have lost equip
ment to the value of approximately
$4,000, one can readily see the rea-
son for the discontinuance of the
service.
"If the culprit who committed these
acts could only be apprehended, the
law would deal harshly with him, as
this is no small offense, and we are
informed that steps are being taken
to catch the guilty party. However
it seems that the public must suffer
for the insane acts of few, and
therefore are deprived of a service
which was greatly appreciated by
Park patrons and the travelling tour
lists"
