Public nuisance bootlegging case at Campbell establishment
Sheriff Litton and Hansen searched F. E. Campbell's place in Potter with no liquor found inside but discovered five pints of whiskey behind a rock pile. Campbell pleaded not guilty, fined 100 dollars plus 113.70 costs, paid, and the village board later labeled the establishment a public nuisance. The county court conviction marked a broader crackdown on bootlegging and a pledge to eradicate the illegal trade.
