Villainous Saloonkeepers.

A Minneapolis saloonkeeper has
been sentenced to thirty days in the
workhouse for selling liquor to
young girl, and the chief Of police has
announced that he will make a special
effort to keep other saloonkeepers

when the judge gave him five years for
matrimonial redundancy and he went up
