that in such cases If the accused will tell
where he got the liquor he will not be pun
ished, but the saloon keeper who furnished
it will be tried, and if guilty will be fined
not exceeding $500, and given 80
days imprisonment, and his license
be forfeited. When a person is
blacklisted a full description is sent
10 all saloons. Aiken was fined yesterday
and was told that if he would tell where he
got the whisky he would be let out. After

ton sent out was in error.
