LIQUOR BUYING
Held ILLEGAL
FEDERAL JUDGE SAYS PUR-
CHASE WITHOUT PERMIT
is OFFENSE

Louisville, Ky, Oct. 15.-Tht
October grand jury of the United
States district court here today
was under instruction from Judge
Charles |. Dawson to indict, il
the evidence warranted. the buyer
as well as the seller of liquor.
Attacking the "so-called good
citizen" who patronizes bootlegg-
ers, Judge Dawson, former Ken
lucky attorney general, declared
the widespread impression that it
is not against the law to purchase
liquor is erroneous.
Referring to a recent decision
of the circuit court of appeals of
the second district at Philadel-
phia, Judge Dawson said that he
had not read the courts opinion,
but is was his opinion that what
that court really decided was
that one who purchases liquor is
not such an alder or abetter Of
the seller as to make him guilty
as a seller under the federal law"
To that extent, Judge Dawson
said, in his charge, "T agree with
the opinion, but If that opinion
holds that it is not an offense
against the national prohibition
act for one to purchase liquor
without permit and not on pre-
scrption, then l cannot agree with
it. because l have no doubt what
ever that the Volstead act intend
ed to and does, in express terms,
make it illegal for individuals to
purchase liquor for personal con-
for beverage purposes"

of the season on the walls.
Guests were met at the door by
ghostly forms that insisted on Civ
ing a clammy handshake. After de-
scending the stairway toward a
clatter and rumble calculated to
make one think of the internal re-
gions, the guests were taken to
the floor of the gymnasium and
given Halloween caps. In one cor
ner an arbor effect was seen and
in front Of it a witch's cauldron
from which fortunes good and bad
were fished
Games, charades, stunts and
conundrums formed the evenings
One of the most delightful feat

THREE RAIDS ON
OLD LAND OFFICE
MOONSHINE DISPENSARY AND
AXE TANGLE-TWO OUT
ON BONDS

The old A. P. Larson land office
building on Front stress which
has been the scene of numerous
raids, and which, it is understood,
is fitted up with an intricate sys-
I tenn of signals, barricades and
other things calculated to delay
the entrance of raiding parties,
will have to have some repair
work done on it if it is going to
function in the old way. The
place experienced three raids by
Supt. Eggers force during the
last week.
The first raid took place Sat
urday evening T. r. Breauenger
was tending bar. The officers got
a gallon of moonshine and two
pints. Breauenger will have hear
ing on the 31st and is out on
bonds.
Get Only a Smell
Thursday afternoon the place
was again raided by Supt. Eggers'
force. A man by the name of Nor
ry or Murry from Opheim was in
charge. The barricades and the
signal system had worked suffic-
iently well so that there was no
tenable evidence secured by the
officers, though the place smelled
to high heaven with the evanes-
cent odor of spilled moonshine.
The officials went home and wait
ed.
About ten o'clock last evening
Supt. Eggers and his deputies
Kirn and Thompson returned to
the land office building. This
time they got in in time to see
Morry getting rid OF the last bot
tie. The fact that he was destroy
ing the evidence was considered
evidence for Morry's ar
rest.
The officials then proceeded to
1emolish the bar and tear the in
sides out of the offending build
ng.
Bartender Bondsmen
When Morry came before Com
missioner o. T. Stennes this morn
ng he was released on $500 bonds. {
lis bondsmen are Earl Stringer,
whose case is pending in federal
.ourt, and who is alleged to be {
me of the proprietors of the
'front.' street place raided, and H. {
l. Breaunger who was arrested
n the same joint last Saturday
nd whose hearing is still pending.

Running strictly true to tradi-
ton, the last day of the Seventh
Annual Wolf Point Trade Carni-
val was by far the biggest day.
A throng seldom exceeded (annual
Stampede times excepteO filled
the business stretts and business
places. Buying supplies, paying ac-
counts, and voting for schools and
queen candidates was the order Of
the day.
The annual tug of war between
Southside and Northside farmers
was the big side show of the af-
ternoon. The Northsiders had the
most beef and pulled" the fell
ows from over the river and earn
ed the ten bones. The Southsiders
feel they are at a disadvantage
on the other fellows ground, so
some time they will stage the
struggle on neutral territory on
the bridge, when it is finished.
In the evening the annual Com
munity Dance at the Coliseum
drew a capacity crowd that en-
joyed itself to the limit The re-
suit of the voting-for queen and
school libraries, and the distribu-
tion of the day and grand prizes
kept interest keyed to concert
pitch until it was all over but
Home Sweet Home.
