Booze Barrels Bounced at Elks Club in Willmar
Sheriff Bonde and the Elks Club faced a probe of liquor sales at the Willmar lodge during a Street Pair. Four barrels of Hamm’s beer were traced to the basement and a search warrant was sought but denied. The lodge leaders claimed prior sale of liquor was unauthorized and vowed to remove the stock, while a dray crew hauled out barrels Friday. Residents praised the sheriff for duty, while some patrons lamented the disruption of their supply. A Swedish dramatic club in Minneapolis drew a full house with Lars Anders and Jan Anders.
