SIX GOT Drunk
ON SOFT DRINKS
Grape Juice With a Vicious
Kick to 1t Being Sold
in Fairmont.

Hard cider, grape juice and whis-
key was plentiful In Fairmont yester.
day and Just six citizens yielded to
the temptation, took few sups too
much and landed in the city Jail. This
morning they all marched single file
out Of the jail and up the stairs at the
City building to the police court room,
and 1t reminded some of the by-gone
days when it was as easy to buy
'whiskey" as lemon coke.
But the hard part of It all was that
only one OF the six prisoners had the
necessary $5 TO pay a fine, and the
same men who composed the line of
march from iail with one exception,
marched back to the basement after
police court was over.
George w. Mack had over $27 in
his pocket when arrested and was able
to pay hds fine. Jerry Sullivan, John
Gordon and Harry Farrell all went
back to jail because they were unable
to pay out. The first two told Mayor
Bowen that they had puchased hard
cider and grape juice in Fairmont and
had gotten drunk. They were both
held and an investigation will be made
in an effort to find out Just what mer-
chants of the city are selling this hard
cider and Intoxicating grape juice.
Elmer Nay was picked up at the Man
ley livery stable Saturday and was
brought to the city Jail. Yesterday
he put up his watch as forfeit. At
court this morning he was fined $40.
Howard Linn drew a fine of $25 for
being drunk and disorderly. Linn lives
on the East Side and complaint after
complaint have come to the city Off
ctals about his conduct near his resi-
dence. He was arrested yesterday and
locked up in the city jail. He was un-
able to pay his fine and went back to
Jail.
One speeder. S. j. Closkey was fined
$40 this morning. Closkey was stop
ped by the city officers yesterday
while going out Fairmont avenue. He
put up ten spot for his appearance
at court this morning but did not come
around to deny the charges.
