tanning a nuisance at the j. X. Slack
place on the. 18th of July, 1908. was
acquitted by a jury. There was no ques-
ton about his selling wet goods on the
day charged, but it Appeared that some
of the east end county residents wanted
to Guido Manning in a celebration and
ENCOURAGED Gullickson to bring a load
of his wares for sale at the place
mentioned. At least. this is the way
the story ID It is also claimed that
Gullickson folded his tent and departed
when he was informed that he was not
wantd at the Slack place while engaged
in the sale of intoxicanta. Of course,
there is the probability that the parties
who invited Gullickson had not consult
ed the wishes of many people who par
ticipated in the celebration. Following
