There was a time when the West was truly wild, when alcohol did not pour freely and that time was during Prohibition. Frontier activists weren't quite sure what to do with themselves, once this occurred, and crime skyrocketed. The Arizona Historical Society is covering this time tonight with "Arizona Crime During the Dry Years and Prohibition on Arizona Border Communities." Christina Rabe Seger gives the lowdown on what was really going on in this turmoil-filled period. The lecture starts at 7 p.m. with the speech ending after two hours. All AHS activities take place at 949 E. Second St. Call AHS ahead of time at 628-5774 if you have any more questions about their fall lectures about the "Wild West."
