Oscar johnson Fined for Running
Pony ExPress-Liquors Destroyed.

A North Grosvenordale mans am
bitiOn to run a pony express service
between this city and that village has
ended in disaster. Arriving there from
Putnam with a consignment of intox-
icants that included aeleven cases of
beer and ale, keg of beer and a small
quantity of whiskey and some soda,
the load was seized by officers of the
law. Oscar Johnson is the man who
had been conducting the express.
Taken before justice Of the peace
he was fined SIS and costs amounting
to a total of $5S-12, which he paid
1t is understood that Mr.. johnson
intended to conduct the business upon
the same plan as do the parties who
maintain similar pony express ser
vice between Putnam and DanieIson;
that is, by having those who want Ii
quUTs fl OUT an order for them. Mr.
Johnson had orders covering the goods
IN his shipment, but they were not
properly made out The making out
of these orders according to the de-
quires great care. and Mr.. Johnson
was not using the proper kind of
forms.
The liquors that were seized were
destroyed, SO this loss must also be
added to the sum that Mr.. Johnson
loses out of his experiment with the
game of furnishing drinkabl es to the
residents of no-license towns.

Not all of them are yet able to make
