Description
In this letter, dated October 29, 1919, from North Dakota (ND) Attorney General William Langer to ND State Pool Hall Inspector Earle H.

Belling, Justice of the Peace in Litchville, claiming a current pool hall is in violation of the liquor law along with gambling and the sale of cigarettes. Belling adds that another pool hall is being erected by a gambler and "booze fighter," and the license of this pool hall should be rejected.
