Mr.. Pfefferle objects to the statement
made in THE NEWS of Friday that a
man was carried out of his place one
day this week in a helpless state OF IN
toxication. He says he has sold his
business To Harry Yeach and disclaims
any connection with the traffic
in intoxicating drinks at that place.
We are glad if Pfefferle is out of the
business, as he has been q tough Gus
toner to handle, and has several times
been convicted of selling liquor in viola
ton Of law. Meanwhile, as there has
been no denial Of the main facts in our
statement of Friday, it would be well
for the officers of the law to keep q
sharp lookout on Pfeferle's successor.

discovered in q curious way. A hen that
bad gone through clay puddle went
with her muddy feet into sugar-house.

was noticed that wherever her tracks
were the sugar was whitened. Expert
pents were instituted, and the result was
that wet clay came to be used 10 refining
