An Indian and Whiskey

Last Wednesday morning Lew Mickey, member of the Arizona rangers, arrested an Indian and a Mexican in the rear of one of the Mexican saloons, down the line. For some days Mickey had noticed that certain Indian seemed to be under the influence of liquor and decided to watch and learn the source of it's supply. Wednesday morning he caught Jose Trujillo, a Mexican, supplying the Isletta In dian, Jose Lenta, with a couple of half pint bottles. When taken be- fore Justice Crawford the Indian admitted that he had furnished the, money and the Mexican had bought the fire water. As there is statute against selling or giving whiskey to Indians, and as this was Tru- jillo's first offense, the court let him down easy, assessing fine of $200, in default of which he will enjoy the next 200 days in the county jail. The court also fined the In- dian in the sum of $50, for being a party to the deal. Lenta immedi- ately pungled up and was given his liberty.
 Mickey, the ranger who made the arrest, has been stationed here for some three weeks past. He left for Phoenix yesterday and will Irob- ably be absent two weeks.
