April 25, 1924: Mushlock up for third case

This afternoon quite an array of moonshine cases were before Judge King, after a lull of several weeks. The first to appear in court was Mrs. Lillian Hanson, of 223 South B street, who was charged in the complaint by Sheriff Slate with the sale of intoxicants in the form of moonshine whiskey. This she denied and was told that she could waive examination or demand a hearing, to learn the evidence against her. She asked the court to fix the time and the same was placed as Monday, April 28. Her bonds to appear for examination were placed at $1,000 with two sureties.

Mushlock again

John Mushlock was also brought in court charged with the sale of moonshine whiskey, and when Pros. Atty. Walter read the complaint, he said it was a d— lie. Judge King told the defendant that if he used any more such language he would be fined for contempt of court. He waived examination and was bound over to the circuit court for trial, his bonds being placed at $3000. There is another case pending in circuit court against Mushlock.

Chevalier next

Charles Chevalier who resides on Duncan avenue was the next called, on the charge of selling moonshine whiskey. He waived examination and was bound over to the circuit court for trial. As it was his first offense his bonds were placed $1000 with two sureties.

When the court was through with their cases the prisoners went out to skirmish for the required bonds in the charge of offices with the understanding that they be furnished before 5 p.m.

Boys began Little League Tryouts in Cheboygan Monday while girls look forward to a meeting soon to organize Cheboygan’s first Girls Little League.

A total of 182 boys registered Saturday for the 8 major league teams and the minor league teams that are planned for this summer. In addition there are about 50 boys who played last year but did not register Saturday, and the league is hopeful that most of them will play also.

Eighty nine girls registered, enthusiastic about the opportunity for the first time to have a league and to play regularly scheduled games leading up to tournaments.

President De Isard of the Little League said the response for Girls Little League was very gratifying. A lot of women volunteered their services to work with the teams.
