Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 92, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 28 July 1899 — Bought Beer for Minors. [ARTICLE]

Bought Beer for Minors.

Dallas Daywitt, whose wit seems more in his name than in bead, acted as purchasing agent and canteen commissary Saturday night, to the extent of buying, for a gang of young boys, a “pony” keg of beer, at Rosenbaum’s saloon, and from the contents of which several of the boys got drunk. Daywitt lives out in Union Tp., and Monday night Constable Vick went out after him, and some time towards morning landed him in jail. Next morning he had a trial before Squire Burnham, for giving liquor to minors. He was fined $25 and costs, amounting in all to S4O; and he will stay in jail as long as that amount will pay for.
