Home brewers immune if no sale evidence, judge rules
Federal Judge Frank H. Rudkin rules that prohibition officers may not enter a private home on a search warrant unless there is evidence of liquor sale. The ruling came in the Gus Powell trial near Spokane where officers raided a residence and found a still and mash but Powell was acquitted. The decision limits enforcement actions and preserves home immunity, while state and local laws remain unaffected.

City Council Urges Dillon Water Works Plan
Twenty years ago the Dillon city council discussed installing a water works system. Mayor White outlined supply options and estimated costs from 40 000 to 75 000 for a pipeline from Argenta lakes, storage at the bluffs, and a gravity system deemed impractical. Nearby notes include a seaside luncheon hosted by Miss Jean Bishop and a wedding of Miss Helen Conway to William Cushing, plus the State Normal preparing for its fifth year and strong enrollment.
