BOYS BUY BOOZE
OVER BAR
Three North GrosvenorDale
Minors Drink Beer and Car
ry Off Quart of Whiskey
Bar Tender Fined $50 For Making

There has been much material for
one so disposed, from which to pre-
pare lecture on the evils of the Gig
arctic, which, by the way, we do not
hear much about since the country
went to war, and temperance. The
material might have been picked up
at recent sessions of the Putnam po-
lice court.
Not long ago several youths, some
in knickerbockers, came into the
court room and told Of buying cigar
cites, the names of the brands their
educated" tastes preferred, and how
they filled their undeveloped lungs
with smoke from the tobacco"
wrapped around with rice paper.
Saturday morning three North
Grosvenor- Dale youths, under 81
years old, and therefore infants" in
the eyes of the law, appeared as wit
nesses against Asa Benoit, bartender
for Philias Cloutier, and told how
they easily procured beer and whis-
key
The boys were Peter Vandale, II,
Emeri Mallioux, Is, and Uric Ben
| ard, 20 They related how they came
/ to Putnam together two weeks before
and went into Cloutier's place and
"set 'em up just like regular guys.
That is, Mallioux and Bernard did
and so did the bartender, Benoit, the
defendant. After drinking three
rounds of lager" the regular guys
Clipped in and bought a quart of
whiskey for two dollars and later, &C
cording to one man of the world, they
'drinked" it.
Vandale said he had only been in
the place once. but the rest had beer
in before when others than Benoit
had served them.
Benoit was arraigned on a charge
Of selling TO a minor. He had beer
put to plea Thursday and pleaded not
guilty He put in no defense, his
counsel merely intimating that Ben
oft had made mistake in the ages Of
the boys.
