The Grinnell Herald-Register (Grinnell, Iowa) Oct. 12, 1939

--Now come, Joe Delk and Isham Gibson, who drank too freely of liquor, and one of the men chased Mrs. Delk out the door, threatening her with a knife. They were arrested by Sheriff Fred Cochran, taken to Grinnell and fined. Delk just could not imagine where the liquor came from, and wondered if maybe the sheriff did not bring it. This Fred denied.--Montezuma Republican.
