LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.

The Law SHOULD BE ENFoRcED.-Last
evening boy 10 years of age was picked
W on Tenth street in beastly state of in
toxication, and in that condition conveyed
to the home of his mother. He was so
completely paralyzed with the effect of
some kind of intoxicant that he was insen-
sible to all his surroundings, and was a
most pitiable sight to behold His brother.
a young man of excellent reputation, called
at this office last evening, and said that as
soon as the lad had slept off his drunken
stupor they would ascertain where he OBJ
tanned the liquor, and the law would be
brought to BEAR and the party or parties
who sold or gave him the drink would be
punished. That boys are allowed to enter
beer saloons in this city and are sold beer
over the counters, is q notorious fact, and
which has often been called to the attention
of the police. Every person who violates
the law regarding the sale of LIQUOR to
minors should be arrested, severely pun
ished, and their license revoked. The pro-
vision in the statute is very plain and reads
as follows: Every person who sells or
gives TO another under the age of sixteen
years, to be by him drank at the time as a
beverage, any intoxicating drink, is guilty
of misdemeanor, and punishable by a
fne not exceeding one hundred dollars, or
by Imprisonment in the county jail not ex-
ceeding three months"

and motion to dismiss made by the de-
PENDANTS attorney. This was concurred in
by District Attorney Buckley and ex-Dis-
trict Attorney Carey. Judge Van Fleet de-
sired to hear from Surveyor General Will
ley. who was present, and that gentleman
was put upon the stand. He stated that
the money taken by the defendant had all
been returned before the warrant of arrest
was sworn out, but he (Willey) had con-
sidered it to be his duty to have the matter
brought into Court. Under the present
circumstances he doubted whether it was
worth while to carry the matter to trial, as
the State had not lost anything. and it was
doubtful whether the trial would result in
conviction. He had no personal feeling
against the defendant, and would like to
see the case dismissed. Judge Van Fleet
announced that he would take the matter
