THE SEARsMoNT LIQUOR CASE. John
! Luce and Lewis Bean of Searsmont were
before Judge Rogers in the Belfast Police
| Court last Monday to answer to warrants
sworn out by Miss Josephine Knight of
Searsmont. Luce was charged with selling
liquor and Bean with intoxcation and dis
turbing the peace. Both were found guilty
and Luce was fined $50 and costs, from
W hich he appealed, and Beams fines and
costs aggregated about $40 He appealed
and gave bonds of $50 in each case. In the
case of Luce a bond of $500 was called for,
and as he was not prepared to give it then
be remained in the custody of the sheriff
until Tuesday. The affair grew out of a
distur bance at one of the dances con =
Quoted by the Misses Knight and McCorri-
son in Searsmont. Bean while under the
influence of liquor alleged to have been
bought of Luce, came into the dance hall
and was apparently too confused to listen
to reason or be Quilted by the ladies in
charge and they were obliged to have him
elected from the hall. This, in connection
with slurring remarks made by the de-
PENDANTS, caused the ladies to bring action
and they managed to work up very clear
case before it was brought to the Court.
Their dances have been quiet, orderly and
delightful social occasions which have
drawn patronage from this city, Rockland
Camden and many surrounding towns and
they do not extend to have their reputa-
ton injured in this way.
