JOHN JONES AND MARTHA JONES
ACCUSED OF SELLING LIQUOR
WITHOUT A LICENSE.
Alleged That They Have Disposed of
Whiskey and Beer at COL
lese Place.

Upon the complaint of several resi-
James Haviland this morning placed
under arrest and took to the county
iail John Nj. Jones and Martha Jones,
his wife. They are charged with vio-
lating the law by selling spirituous
liquors without first obtaining q Ii
cense. 1t is alleged that Jones and his
Wife, who conduct a small store at
College Place. have been holding
dances in the second story of the build
ing occupied by them. While the
dances were in progress they sold beer
and whiskey in sarge quantities in the
store below to the patrons of the dance.
About two months ago Jones applied
to the county commissioners for a Ii
cense to sell liquor at that place. He
filed Il petition which was signed by a
number of names, praying the board to
grant his request. At the same time
a remonstrance containing the name
of almost every person, residing in
College Place was also filed with the
board. After due consideration of the
petition and remOnstrance the commits
SicnerS denied the application. Since
that time it is claimed that Jones and
his wife have been guilty of violating
the law by diSpOSing of the liquor in
both large and small quantities.

The famous Tom Corwin, United
States senator from and governor of
Ohio. was fond of telling the fol-
lowing story:
In the spring of 1911, at the annual
election in Rhode Island. there was a
town precinct closely contested by the
federal and the republican (the peace
and WaD parties. A federal farmer,
hurrying down to vote just before the
closing time, was stopped on the way
by finding one of his valuable pigs
fast between the planks of a fence. He
tried to pull the pig out and failed.
Then with some difficulty he prief one
of the planlIs away, released the pig,
and started on a run for the voting
place. Just as he got within a hundred
feet of it the town clock struck six.
The polls closed without his vote. The
result was that a war representative
from that town was elected by one
vote.
