W M. Tucker was before the court in Palmer yesterday, charged with selling milk without 8 license. His case was continued until August 3d. In selecting MT Tucker for an example, it is considered pretty fair hint from Dr. McQuaid that the law relative to milk and its distribution will be enforced It is only justice to MT. Tucker to state that he is one of our most law abiding citizens. and while he may be little lame on this case, he will never in all probability have an extended court period.
