Destruction of 164 Books Cigarette Papers At North Dakota Bonfire
In New Rockford Eddy county officials burned 15 440 cigarettes and 164 books of cigarette papers in a city park bonfire after a local confectionery store owner was jailed and fined for cigarette and gambling law violations. Seven arrests for tobacco and gambling offenses were reported. Star Pool Hall licenses were revoked and a shutdown ordered. Assistant Attorney General Albert E Sheets Jr cited law requiring destruction of the goods. The incident drew comments on possible Red Cross use for troops, but the statute dictated disposal. The piece also threads through local political strife involving Brinton and Townley allies, accusing conspiracy and urging party loyalty amid county power struggles.
