Looking Back to 1915: Don't Sell Liquor Illegally From a Nuisance

From the March 3, 1915 Mid Week, 100 years ago.

**  Sycamore Fence Company will begin using the new Lohman process of coating wire which absolutely prevents rust and makes the wire practically indestructable.

**  In county court on Monday, Judge Pond sentenced Clara Christensen of DeKalb, convicted in January for illegal selling of intoxicating liquor in DeKalb.

She was convicted on seven counts: 6 for illegally selling it and one for keeping a nuisance.

She will pay $50 on each of the first two counts and $20 on the next four.  For the nuisance charge she will pay $250 and spend twenty days in jail.

The sheriff was ordered to close the premises of the nuisance.  (Nuisance= bar?  Was the a college (Northern Illinois State Normal School (NIU))
