Out OF Business.

In the misdemeanor case before
Judge Leonard at Boise Friday in
which Rev. H. E. Mcleod was the
complaining witness and in which
the Leisure Club of Meridian was
charged with selling liquor with
out license, three of the officers,
representing the club, Bert DAILY.
Frank Long and John Pigg plead
guilty and were fined an amount
equal to $144 each. Ten counts
were against the club, but the
conviction was on the three counts
for selling liquor to Mack Gillum.
Seven counts still remain ard
this the law and order people
maintain, will be used if the club

ment was signed by the three
representatives of the club, with

j. M. Flack Property Sold.

One Of the largest real-estate
transfers for some time in this
neighborhood, was made this week
when J. NJ. Flack sold his big farm
q half mile north Of Meridian,
including the nice residence and
grove, to o. P. Hendershott, of
Hebron, Nebraska. The consider
alton was $38, 800, or SITS per acre
for the 220 acres. The proximity
of this ranch to Meridian makes it
very desirablefor acreage property.
Mr.. Hendershott will take posses
sion late this fall. He is wealthy
stock man, makes speciality of
pure bred horses and cattle. His
son may remove to this section and
this may influence others in Neb-
raska to locate here. Mr.. Flack's
plans are not known, but we hope
he will buy other property in this
vicinity.
