Vogler pays fine and costs after dry town saloon incident
W. H. Vogler, former Fourth avenue saloon keeper turned soft drink shop owner, paid a $20 fine and $3.37 in costs to Justice Halsted for hosting a soldier farewell with alcohol on July 14. Authorities note a loaded liquor shipment came via automobile from Ableman and Kilbourn. Vogler said he provided the venue but had no criminal intent, and in partys with underage soldiers, the fine reflects that distinction. Officials warn such offenses will be sanctioned to the full extent of the law.
