Loudon says that he was at The Dalles
in January, 1885, at the time of the
big snow storm of which mention was

Deputy Sheriff Ed. Burden came
down from Nelson Tuesday with an
alleged bootlegger by the name of
George Jackson. The liberal and gen.
erous Jackson is hardly a bootlegger
i'll the accepted understanding of the
word. He has not benefited from a
liberal distribution of wet stuff that
puts the legs on the bum, yet he has
distributed the joy juice with a liberal
hard without price. Mr.. Jackson has
been in the habit of crossing the line
into British Columbia from Nelson.
and after filling his skin until he
leaked alcohol at every pore, gather
up an assortment of bottles properly
hiled and taking them back to Nelson
proceed to heat up the population with
leaning to drink. This is the head
and front of his offending, which is
considered shameful disregard for
prevailing law. He was nailed with
the goods in and on him, and a JUS
ice OF the peace committed him to the
county jail. If he ever gets out Mr.,
jackson will probably in the future
'onlne himself to carrying his two
quarts inside of himself when return
ng from joy journey to a neighbour
ng country.
