Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 41, Number 104, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 September 1909 — Grand Jury Inquired Into Fair Oaks Liquor Sales. [ARTICLE]

Grand Jury Inquired Into Fair Oaks Liquor Sales.

Several Fair Oaks citizens were called before the grand jury Tuesday to tell what they knew about the selling of l*per and other drinks at that place on the 4th of July. What the outcome will be is not certain but it is said that the men who sold the booze did not live at Fair Oaks, but came there from some other place and disappeared after the supply was gone, and the customers didn’t know Or can’t remember who they were, where they lived or what they looked like. They will probably be on hand when another celebration takes place up there unless an officer or two is stationed there to stop the sales. The better people of Fair Oaks should see to it that the fair name of their town is not tarnished by being regarded the rendezvous of boot-leg-gers, and should help to punish the defiers of the law and the wish of the majority.
