Frederick Sehaufel, of Augusta, was
tried in the United States District Court
yesterday for selling liquor without a
revenue license. 1t was shown that the
accused had kept a saloon for a number
OF years, and had bought revenue stamps
for quite time. He finally gave up the
business ostensibly and took down his bar
fixtures. Several witnesses testified,
however, that they had at divers times
during this year bought liquor Of Schau-
fell. The evidence against him was very
strong, and the Jury returned a verdict of
guilty. The case was the first one that
Mr.. Query has prosecuted in the court
here since he was appointed United States
Attorney.

thirty DAYS Imprisonment, and to pay a
