Starkweather Scenes as Arrests Stir Town
A Starkweather preliminary hearing drawn from last week’s Devils Lake raid on illegal drinking houses ended quickly with all defendants bound over to district court on $500 bonds.

Meanwhile a separate note recalls a Devils Lake football clash, where Stevens and Nimmo shone for the locals in a season opener marked by cautious progress.
