the defendants were found not guilty.
Now who gets the booze? The court
will order the sheriff, probably the
coming week, to publicly destroy
every drop of the stuff, with the pos
sible exception of the barrel claimed
by the Elk River draymen, and that
will probably go to the sewer with
the rest of the stuff.

; MUST PAY FINE.
An interesting point of law was
brought out by Judge Edgar Steele
, Thursday morning at the conclusion Of
, the bootleg cases. After imposing
l the fines and penalties the court ex
planned that in case any of the parties
did not pay their fines they would b.
5 confined in Jail and serve one day fol
J every two dollars of fine imposed, bu
3 that one could not thus pay fine, fo
e the debt would remain and would b.
t collected if the defendant had prop
Y erty, even though defendant serves
i the equivalent of the full fine.
The printing case, in which ju
e dicial determination of Clearwate
county printing will be made, will
I come up later in the session. This
8 not jury trial.
