however, was done we'll, after which court

In this court yesterday the case of George
Schleicher, saloonkeeper at 1850 George
street, charged with selling liquor to and
allowing minors to loiter around his sa-

Addie Farley, one of the witnesses for the
state, was i'll and unable to appear.

at III Hamilton street, for violation, also
