This was the second offense OF a
similar character for which Weldon

thorities had been after him for some
time. Deputy Sheriff William d. TX.

place about three weeks ago and Sc
cured sufficient evidence of Weedon's
violation of the laws. Two barrels of
whiskey and other bottled goods were

costs for Illegal selling, and on the
fifth count, which was that of having
other wet goods on the premises.
