IN THE POLICE COURT.
Whiskey Cases Come up for Trial

There were several cases tried in
the police court Thursday, one being
a case for transportation of whiskey,

morning for transporting whiskey
for an unlawful purpose. Reece went
to Columbia last night and returned
this morning with a grip containing
one gallon and a half pint of whis-
key, and another suit case containing
three more gallons Of whiskey, alleg-
ed to he his. was found on the train
He was arrested by Mr.. II. G. Nc
kagen as the owner of all of the
whiskey and despite his plea that he
knew nothing of the grip with the
three gallons he was found guilty by
the recorder and sentenced to pay a
fine Of SIS or serve 80 days.
The case against Sam Davis for
the same offence, which was contin-
ued over from Thursday was not
heard. Sam is out on bond and the
case will probably come up in a day
or two
Lucius Bossard was given a prelim-
mary for burglary. Lucius has been
tried a number Of times before by the
recorder on various charges. 1t was
alleged that he broke into the house
of negro woman and stole $500.
