HAWTHORNE:
 WAS GUILTY
Trial Results in Verdict Of Guilty
 Fine of $50 and Costs.

The trial of Ben Hawthorne. for the illegal sale of whiskey was held
 Friday before Mayer V. t. Ounbey. and be was found guilty and fined
 $50. Being unable to pay same he
 was taken to Fayetteville and con
 fined Ill the county 5sil, but paid
 his fine and was released Monday.
 The State was represented by Al len c. Flowers, deputy prosecuting attorney, while the defendant had no attorney. Some seventeen witnesses
 were examined, one of them testi-
 rles directly to having bought liquor from Hawthorne. while others testi- fled that they had found liaor in different places. Express Agent A.
 M. LeitzeIl testified to the number of packages supposed to have con tained liquor which were shipped
 here to the defendant, and this rec ord shows that flourishing business
 was transacted during the month of
 February. When questioned as to
 what use he could make of so much liquor the defendant claimed that he and others had gone in together and ordered it for their own consumption.
 The evidence showed that Hawthorne received his first shipment in Jan uary and the records of the express office at Lowell show that he also re- eeived shipments of liquor at that place. After hearing the evidence the mayor was not long in pro- n )uncfng the defendant guilty.
 The trial was largely attended, in. dicating the interest manifested by Springdale people i'll putting a stop to such traffic as was engaged in by MT. Hawthorne. It is understood that Hawthorne is still amenable to the Federal government, as he had 10 government license, but it is said he can escape prosecution simply by taking out license and having same
 dated back to cover the period in which he sold the whiskey.
