bOOTLEGG|NG IS HARD
HIT IN TEMPE TOWN
Huqhes and Van Arsdale Draw Fines
Aggregatine $500

That Tempe is no place for boot
leggers is evident today as result
of the trial of Emily Van Arsdale
and David Hughes upon three charges
of selling liquor in a dry territory.
The hearings were commenced on
Wednesday morning and the first day
was devoted to the first charge, that
of the state upon the complaint of
Geo. E. Stale VS.. Van Arsdale and
Hughes. Yesterday morning at $50
Justice Carr rendered his decision
from Wednesdays hearing and clearly
and concisely placed the fine at $3.50
each or as many days in jail.
The second and third hearings were
conducted yesterday morning upon
the complaint of Geo. f. Stale of
having purchased liquor on May IL
from Hughes and Mrs Van Arsdale.
Both parties were found guilty. In
order to have the decision handed
down Immediately the attorney for
the defense petitioned that there be
time pronounced Il fine of $3.50 each
or as many days in Jail, for each of
the two counts.
The total amount of the fine now
stands at 5000 and it appears that
the state is not through with the Of
tenders. On Saturday they will be
tried upon fourth count similar to
the first three and it is probable
that an addition will be made to the
already large sum for the offense.
The defense Immediately after the
decision filed a petition for the APP
peal of the case and will carry it to
higher court.
Mrs. Van Arsdale and Hughes have
been conducting the Casa Iona for
some months and from evidence in
troduced it appeared that they have
teen doing wholesale and retail
business in liquor. There has been
considerable interest aroused over this
case owing to the fact that Hughes
year or two ago was playing the
part of detective against alleged boot
leggers in this town. He was instru-
mental in the conviction of one or
two. The shoe is now on the other
foot.
