torney, with prompt regularity, every
three months, would cause the arrest Of
all violators of the prohibitory law, but
with equal regularity would dismiss
each case upon payment of costs of suit,
including his own fee of 1876, but the
records of the county do not show any
increase of the school fund, neither did
the saloons close their doors for fear Of
further prosecution,
