saw white half-pint bottle, nearly
filed with what he supposed was whis
key, passed over the bar.

If they would take an oath on the
Bible They both said f'yes, the faith
er swearing that he had been in the
barroom and the son swearing, that a

the recorder but, for lack of proof, he
said he had to discharge the saloon
keeper.
