Commissioner Denham, Charles Hascall, J. D. Allman, Levi Hawkins and Frank Gray were Rensselaer goers Monday. Messrs. Allman and Hawkins were bidders- on the Jordan stone road contract, but were a little above the low bid. However, they made arrangements with the low bidder by which he assigned the contract to them and they will build the road. Evidently they are making it mighty uncomfortable for illegal liquor selling in Benton. Here is the latest swipe £iven them as reported by the Fowler eader: "David Ganyon came down from Earlpark to-day and pled guilty to violating the liquor law four times and was fined and costed S9O. Mr. Ganyon will return to the section, a position he followed before entering the saloon business. He is entirely broke. Claude Humston pled guilty to two. His brother takes the stock of goods to Goodland and pays both fines. Claude Humston will be employed on the road. Harry Hagood pled guilty to one count; the fine was $25 and the costs made it $43.50. Walter Hagood pled guilty to three violations; the tines were $5 in each and the total was $66.90. Harvey Bailey pled guilty to three charges and fined $66.60. Joseph Windier went on the bond for the fine and costs. An affidavit was sworn out against Joseph Hazelbaker and Constable Martin went to Earlpark at 2:30 after the accused. He is charged with bootlegging on Sunday. “Elmore Barce was at Earlpark yesterday. Ganyon and Humsfbn will plead guilty to six more cases, remove the store from the town and quit the business in town. Both are broke. This agreement was reached at a meeting held at the Earlpark State Bank Wednesday night. The spirit of the meeting was to carry the conviction of the violators of the law only as far as would prevent the sale of liquor unlawfully within the town. If the proposed conviction was sufficient, it was all that was asked."
