Appeals to Hastings Court When
Fined for Selling Liquor.

w. A. (Catty) Price, colored. was
fined 500 and placed under $500 Sc
curity for twelve months in Police
Court Wednesday morning on a

liquor without a license at the place.

that Price was the lessee. Some
days ago officers raided the house
and discovered white and negro men
drinking together, but the case
against the woman was dismissed.

house for the woman, and that he
did not live there. The case was sub
mitted without argument, and JUS

ed his decision. Price appealed.
