Charter, formerly of Chance.
The latter was arraigned before
Judge Carpenter in chambers, in
order to be given an opportunity
to plead guilty to the charge of
having sold liquor illegally, while
engaged as a druggist, and also
to explain his nonappearance at
the recent sitting of district
court. This he did, and the cir
cumstances being extenuating
in his favor, Judge Carpenter
imposed a money fine, together
with the warning to go and sir
no more. The young mar
promptly paid up and left rejoic
