Back in 1928, Prohibition was still in effect, and an alleged bootlegging operation in Hopkins was busted. The Maryville Democrat-Forum, in an article reprinted by the May 2nd, 1928 Worth County Tribune, reported that a raid by sheriff’s officers on the Charles Sewell restaurant at Hopkins resulted in the arrest of the proprietor, who was taken to the county jail and charged with Possession and Sale of Intoxicating Liquor. Officers led by Sheriff L.B. Campbell found numerous cases of empty bottles and one full gallon of what officers said was alcohol.
