STATE vs.. FIFE.
The case State vs.. S. W. Fife, was
put on trial Wednesday morning. This
was a case in which 5. W. Fife of Frye
burg, was called TO an answer to an in
dictment by the Grand Jury, which found
a bill against him as a common seller of
intoxicating liquors. Mr.. Fife is express
agent at Fryeburg village. For nearly
g year past, the citizens of this town say,
the young men have had large guam
titles of liquor furnished them, on the
drinking of which they became intox-
icated, spending the nights in uproar, !
disturbing the peace Of the community. !
The disturbance had become so great,
and drunkenness so prevalent, that the
best citizens Of the place resolved to
unite in stopping this inflow of liquor.
They found that the liquor came to Frye
burg through the express office, and their
Investigations led them to believe that
the agent Mr.. Fife, was personally inter-
ested in the business. Therefore, a
number of citizens, Republicans, Demo-
Gratis, members Of al the religious socie-
ties, united in signing complaint against
him. Proper papers were taken out be-
fore Justice A. o. Pike, and an officer
raided Mr.. Flies stable, where he found
a number of express packages, containing
liquor, whiskey and rum. Mr.. Fife APP
peared before the justice, was fined, APP
pealed from the Justices decision; and
came to this court. The matter was pre-
,ented to the Grand Jury, and bill was
found against him. /
