Enforcing the Law.

BooTHBAY HARBoR, JAN. IS. Deputy
Sheriff John A. Reed has created consider
able surprise in this section by giving pub
lie notice that the law against the sale of in
toxicating liquors, billiard and pool playing
by minors and slot machines will be rigidly
enforced
BATH, JANUARY IS. The saloOn-keepers
of Bath have become frightened during the
past "a hours, as result of Judge Fogg's
warning to a liquor seller who was convict
ed in the municipal court Friday, that a
second offence would mean Imprisonment.
This is in line with Judge Powers ruling
at the December term of the supreme court,
that parties convicted at that time would
get Jail sentences for second convictions
under similar conditions. The saloon
keepers are reticent over their future policy,
but are seriously considering the advisa-
bility of clearing out their present stock of
intoxicating liquors, and will contine them
selves wholly to the sale of beer. 1t is
claimed that the beer which is being sold at
the bar ROOMS is under the per cent re-
strction and thus they feel safe in selling
it without stint.
BELFAST, ME-, Jan. IA. Waldo county
will soon join the "dry" section of the State
of Maine For some time the liquor dealers
have seen the handwriting on the wall.
The blow fell today, when Chief Justice
Wiswell announced that after March 31St
all violators of the liquor law will be given
i
edict in compliance with the order of the
judge, to the effect that all places must be
closed and stay closed or prosecution to the
full extent of the law will follow. Belfast
has for some time been wide open town
the liquor business being conducted on the
so-calied Bangor plan. number of sa-
looms made no pretensions to being any
thing else and several are fitted up expen
bars, costly mirrors and luxurious furnish
ings. This city has been made something
of distributing and bottling point for, the
outlying territory and places across the bay.
A great majority of the liquor dealers are
those to whom Jail sentence would be
very distasteful, and it is probable that the
most of them will go out of the business.
Belfast is the only city in the county. Other
places which will be more or less affected
are Brooks, Burnham, Frankfort. Freedom,
Islesboro, jackson, Knox, Liberty, Lincoln
yile Monroe Searsm9nt, sear;sport, .S St1GR %;R
