Hobart News 25 Jan. 1923.
Apparently all the liquor violators in Ainsworth got away with it, this time.
I do not know exactly why "the Springman brothers were arrested by Marshal Rose at the Traeger place," but I wish I did. It sounds interesting. I wonder if it could be that incident back in March 1921?
Incidentally, I cannot find a William Bussey in Hobart, and I suspect this may be Adeline Busse's brother Bill.
Another story a couple weeks later explained that the conspiracy charge against the Hobart citizens had been dismissed, but the charges of violating the federal liquor law would proceed to trial (except in the case of Mike Drakovich, who had already pled guilty).

The article makes it sound like they arrested the entire town of Gary. :O
I haven't really studied up on Gary, but I have the impression that nobody there, including the police, paid much attention to Prohibition laws.
