Deputy Getcheil's Second Sequel.

AS announced in the Journal of Mon
day morning, Deputy Sheriff Getchell
was slowly drawing in the lines in the
determination to close UP some of the
places in NasSalboro where liquors and
other disturbing drinks have been sold.
Following the arrangement of Simpson,
Monday, came the arraignment of Am
brose II. Wyman of that town. who
was charged with having sold cider to
divers persons. Deputy Sheriff Getchell
went out to North Vassalboro, yester-
day forenoon, and searched the house
of Wyman and found one barrel and
six two gallon JUICES of old cider 1t
being necessary to prove sale,
Deputy Getchell had Ben Calberg, who
is held as a witness to the now famous
scrap at simpsons, Saturday night, and
the witness testified to having bought
cider, and very hard cider at that at
Wyman's. on Sunday night. Judge
Shaw found Wyman guilty and fined
him 500 and costs. Wyman appealed
and furnished bonds in the sum of 5000
for his appearance at the next term of
the supreme court.
