Description

In this letter, dated November 14, 1918, from Golden Valley County Sheriff S. A. Smith to North Dakota (ND) Attorney General William Langer, Smith describes an incident in which, on the order of the Board of Health, he attempted to close all pool halls. After a hall run by B. S. Davis re-opened, Smith's efforts to re-close the hall were challenged by Sheriff-elect Pazini. Smith writes that he has requested warrants for the arrest of both Davis and Pazini from States Attorney Gallagher, and that he will wire Langer if the requested warrants are not issued, and hopes that Langer will assist him.
