 Jalisco Times: J. A.

He was called to the second Criminal Court for examination, and after the ex- animation he was committed to the State penitentiary "ihcomuni. cado." However, he was released from solitary confinement before the expiration of the usual seventy two hours, and is now being held for further examination on charge of "contributory negligence" The arrest of Cook has caused a great deal of feeling among American conductors and engineers of the Guadalajara division, and on Mon day afternoon there was some talk of a walkout. The men generally hold that the arrest of Cook was uncalied for, and that it shows a desire on the part of the Mexican authorities to make things as un. pleasant as possible for the Ameri- can railroad men.

TROUBLE FOR SOMEBODY.
We Sound Warning Note to Persons
Who Furnish Liquor to Men Of
Intemperate Habits.

II has been an open secret in Reyn-
oldsvile for sometime that somebody
In town buys and furnishes liquor to
men who cannot get drinks In the bar
rooms at this place. The law is very
strict, but no one seems to have taken
the trouble to enforce the law, and,
consequently, men OF Incorporate
habits continue TO get drunk 80 long
as they have the price to buy the
liquor. Some OF these days the law
will be enforced and somebody will get
into trouble, as we know OF one case,
at least, where little detective work
is b-ing done. A fellow who Is mean
enough to buy liquor for another
who cannot buy it himself, deserves
to be punished to the full extent Of the
law. Most Of the chaps who buy liquor
do 80 to get drink out OF the bottle
themselves. IL would be much better
to think now OF the disgrace that
relatives would suffer II you are ar
rested and sent to jail for furnishing
liquor to men OF Incorporate habits,
therefore stop right now. The next
bottle may be the one that will cause
your arrest.
