Dry Law Gets First Setback in Nevada Case
The Reno Journal reports the bone dry law suffered a setback when Joe Brunetti, a Lake Street grocer, was discharged by Justice of the Peace Sidney Foster. The court found no guilty knowledge of liquor in Brunetti’s possession and he was released. Judge A E Cheney defended the defendant. Also, Washington news notes about aliens composing about one tenth of the U S population, per Deputy Commissioner Raymond Crist, urging naturalization efforts.
