Of the time has been given up to the IL
legal liquor selling cases. Thomas Raleigh
and b. l. Streeter were before the court
for doing business in Hinsdale, and five
indictments found against each man.
Four Of the indictments against Raleigh
were for selling liquor in a license town
without a license. and the other for keep
ing liquor for sale. All Of the indictments
against Streeter were for selling liquor
without a license in a license town.
Streeter pleaded not guilty to each of the
indictments through his counsel, and was
placed under bonds for appearance later
in the term. Raleigh pleaded guilty. and
on one Indictment he was sentenced to
pay a fine Of $500 and to serve six months
in Jail, the jail sentence to be suspended
until called for by the solicitor He was
also to pay costs on all the five indict-
ments. making the amount to be paid
about $215. On two other indictments he
was sentenced to pay fines of 5000 and
serve six months in Jail on each. all Of
which were suspended until called for.
Sentences on the other two indictments

tions were shown up through the efforts
