Four Guilty Pleas Speed Justice at La Porte City
Pleas of guilty by four men arrested last winter cleared the docket. Sam Baxter admitted bootlegging and paid a 300 dollar fine with costs, 90 days jail suspended on payment. Milo Betts admitted liquor nuisance and received the same penalty. George Welch and M Powell faced municipal court fines of 100 dollars and costs. Welch has six months and Powell 30 days to pay. A jury was later selected for Charles Price charged with liquor nuisance.
