Fort for the oefense. The territory
put on several witnesses to prove that
liquor had been sold at Gohlkes s place

The defense practically admitted
the allegation. At least no denial
was made and the defense rested sole
ly on the claim that the justice of the
peace mad no jurisdiction In the case.
The defendant appealed to the district
court.
Under the law every additional

constitutes separate offense. The
district attorney intends to bring a
complaint for every violation and pile
up considerable wrath for the day OF
judgment II the breaking of the law
