ty coon he invested his capital in liq-
u0r in hair plat packages aud took
this stand on the market house corner,
within a stones throw of the city hall
and began dispensing it to who would
buy and it was but few minutes I'M
til Deputy Marshal Dawson gathered
the young ster in. When he came be-
fore the commissioner he begged to be
released and said that he had a mother
and several sisters to support SOON in
formed him that the law would have
to take its course and that if he had
had the regard for his mother and sis
tiers which he now protested he won Id
pot have come here to violate the law
VIII ich he was doing. He was put to
jail and several of his brothers came
down Sunday afternoon to see about
him but he was taken by the. officer to
Wheeling ON the Monday m orning

The Marshal took with him on the
