KAYSVILLE, Jan. 25.-The case Of
Kaysville City VS. S. A Thompson, on
appeal from Justice Phillips court, will
be heard before Judge H. H. Rolapp
at Pennington next Monday morning.
The case which produced the appeal
was one in which the appellant,
Thompson, who was at the time pro-
prietor of the city drug store, was
charged with having sold spirituous
liquors contrary to the city ordinance
without first procuring a retail liquor
license. Thompson was arrested July
90 1898, and when brought UP for trial
before Justice Phillips and jury he
was found guilty as charged. On the
stand Thompson admitted his guilt but
he demanded an acqUittal on the
ground that he had sold the liquor for
medicinal purposes solely, it having
been stated by the purchaser Of the
fire water that it was to be used for a
sick horse. 1t was purely humani-
tartan consideration, defendant stated,
that induced him to make the sale.
Inasmuch as the sick horse failed to
materialiZe, and the whisky went the
way Of all other good liquor, the jury
brought in a verdict as stated, and
Justice Phillips fined Thompson SIS.
Hence the appeal.
A number of witnesses were subpoe-
naed on the case yesterday.
