One James Brodle, an innocent keeper
of a "meat shop" where breakfast ba-
con" was on sale, was arrested a week
ago last Monday for selling intoxicating
drinks unlawfully. His case came up
for trial before Justice Onley last Thurs
day. County Attorney Harlan, who had
filed the complaint, appeared for the
prosecution and Gen. G. G. Rogers and
Hon. T. L. Davis TOR the defense. Con-
siderable delay was had in securing a
jury. When the evidence was in the
case was SO PLAIN that, though the de-
PENDANTS attorneys made heroic efforts
to save him, it was unavailing. The
jury brought in verdict of guilty, and
BrodIe was let off with fine of 800
and costs and agreeing to close his
''meat market" This was the first case
under the new law, and we hope there
will be no occasion for a second. Win

Judge Cunningham gave the most com
