duty in the matter Of picking up the

Last week they caught young fell

this city, who has acting as go be-
tween for Hagerstown man who was
coming from Hagerstown to this place
loaded with suit cases filled with whis-
key. He would ask the fellows if they
did not want little liquor and if they
did to lay their money down at GER
tain place and later he would bring
them the booze. Several of the boys
were called as witnesses and told the
story before Police Judge P. w. Letter

peaIed the case but has not, been able
to give the required bond.
On Sunday Richard Sayles, good
natured but inebriated fellow about
town was taken in for selling liquor
and was locked up. 1t is said that
Sayles was sold the liquor by certain
former saloon keeper of this city ard
was peddling t about when picked up
by the officers. He had hearing before
Squire Felker on Monday and was held
for the grand jury which meets in
September
The combined penalties make the
punishment pretty severe but not
harder than it ought to be. There is
no excuse for any man selling liquor
hele. 1t is only spirit is arcogan de-
fiance of the law excepting the poor
devil who is not mentally responsible
and is given bottle aud told to go
forth and peddle. 1t is to be hoped
that the men at the bottom of this
crime will be apprehended and dealt
with to the full extent OF the law.
