Today a travelling occulist, DR.. p. 8.
Corkins, was given the benefit of a whole
some lesson in the efficiency of the city
ordinances against doing business with
out a license. He came here a few days
ago and began the work of selling glasses
to those who were in need of these artt-
fetal helps, and did a thriving trade. The
thrift, however, was not SO marked that
the doctor was prepared to give up the
nominal sun required by the license law.
One dollar was all the city officers asked
for the time the itinerant occulist expect
ed to stay, and, when this sum was not
forthcoming, he was taken before the city
judge n given a hearing on the merits
of the case. The result of his hearing was
the infiction of a ten dollar fine for a
violation of the ordinance against doing
usine in this city without a proper
license. The doctor finally u up the
money and departed a madder, but a wiser
man. The officers say all travelling occu-
lists who come to Bozeman must pay
their license money or be fined. The craft
has been quite numerous this spring and
a great deal of none has been taken out
of the city by these fiy~-by-night doctors,
who are here today and gone tomorrow
and the authorities believe they should be
made to Dear their proportion of the city
license the same as a regularly establish
ed business man.
