A Young Chap's Experience in Algona
A youth from Fenton came to Algona with a pood sized jug and was run in by Marshall Hackman. He faced a $3 fine and $9.85 in costs after appearing before the mayor. He claimed lost funds elsewhere, but a Fenton phone chat showed his roll was lost in the Fenton post office. Over $45 was recovered, Helgeson lent money to satisfy the mayor, and the lad departed pondering the costs of ill advised pleasures.
