TOO MUCH BEAVERVILLE GETS LAD IN TROUBLE

Goodland Herald. A very regrettable thing occured last Friday night and may be the undoing of the hell hole at Beaverville, Illinois, that has caused a good deal of trouble lately. As the result of the episode one of the young fellows became intoxicated and lost his way and attempted to gain entrance where he did not belong and was arrested and one pint of whiskey was found on his person which was confiscated. Saturday morning he was taken to Kentland where he pleaded guilty and paid a fine of $9.50. He also gave evidence that will convict the party who sold him the booze without as much as even inquiring if he was of age. Owing to the lad’s extreme age we refrain from publishing his name as he has promised to not lose control of himself again. Prosecutor Hess has started proceedings against the saloon keeper at Beaverville and will make him set up and take notice.
