The evidence clearly shows that defendant kept a place in which intoxicating liquors were kept for sale and sold; that he and bis algents sold beer and whisky; that his place was frequently searched by police officers, and that several times kegs of beer were found there; that a regular bar was kept, which was resorted to toy large numbers of people, for the purpose of procuring beer and other 'intoxicants. The instructions fully and fairly presented the .ease to the jury, who returned a verdiict of guilty. We have examined the entire record as set forth in the abstract, and discover no errors — 4ffirmed.
