A Peculiar Case.
Local option by sufferance is what
the situation in Putney, near Brattle-
boro, seems to be. The hotel was
raided and a lot of liquor seized.
When the case was heard, the land.
lord put up a novel defence. He
brought in DOCTORS certificate to
the effect that he has been ordered
not to drink any water, and claimed
that the liquor was primarily for his
personal use. He followed this up
with a petition signed by ninety of
his townspeople asking for leniency,
in which they asserted that they had
been knowing to the illicit traffic and
had permitted it. The doctor will
wiggle out of his peculiar situation in
a strictly professional way, but do
the ninety know that they stand in
dicted by their own signatures of a
violation of law?-Randolph Herald
