I gave also a case where an immigrant. if you please. traveling along the borders between the Indian Territory and the State with liquor in his wagon. shall. without knowing it. cross into the Indian Territory. or without any knowledge of the existence ofanintercourselaw. Thereguiltyknowledgeis also involved. Inthat case he neither intended any wrong nor knew that he was in the Territory. Andyetheis as guilty under the lawnot morally. itis trueas if he had intended the one and known the other. He may have no knowledge of the State line. he may not be aware of the point where the road crosses into the Indian Territory. but the moment he passes the line he subjects himself to the penalty. [Here the hammer fell.]
