Monon Man Arrested for Selling Spiked Drinks.

Monticello Journal. Deputy Sheriff Downey went to Monon yesterday to arrest a restaurant man by the name of Pratt, charged with selling temperance beer that contained more than a legal amount of alcohol. He found his man sick in bed with mumps. The arrest was made and friends gave bond for the prisoner’s appearance. Mr. Pratt claims that he w’as not aware that the beverage was so loaded that it was illegal and lays all blame on the company that sold him the stuff.
