FELL Off THE yATER WAGON
TWO HABITUAL DRUNkARDS GET
SOOZE IN CITY LAST SATUR-
DAY AFTERNOON.

Memories of bygOne days when drink
was easy to get proved too much for
two men who are on the probated list Of
the county and they imbibed the for
bidden beverage with the result that
one is now languishing in the county
Jail, in company with the man who fur
nished the liquor to the other.
James Foster, it is said was
caught by Patrolman George Rolf
in the act of getting t.
booze from William Mckague, and as
the former is on the probate drunkard
list the latter was arrested. Foster has
been getting into much trouble lately,
being recently taken up for being drunk
and disorderly on complaint of John
Furrow. who accused him of drawing
a gun.
James J. Gililand was the other who
was taken up. He was not only drunk
but was offensive on the streets in the
presence of ladies and so was taken
into custody by Sergeant Morse.
