 Service upon witnesses in cases of the State against individuals indicted by the grand jury of the City Court In a previous term on the charge that they had violated the prohibition law by the sale of beverages called near beer," indicates that the cases which were continued from the last term that the Supreme Court might pass up- on the case of Frank V. Elder, convict ed on an indictment similar to those against parties defendant in the court now, indicates that the cases Will De tried In the present term.
 Several proprietorB of soft drink shops were indicted by the grand jury at the same time, but the case of Elder was the only one tried. He was con- victed and sentenced to pay fine. and he appealed to the Supreme Court, which confirmed the verdict of the lower court.
 The cases against other alleged vio- lators still stand upon the docket. and will doubtless be set on the first day of the week given to criminal trials.
