Smith Pleads Guilty

Jake Smith, the Lithuanian against
whom a charge of driving an auto
mobile while intoxicated, had been
made, appeared in Justice Reeds
court Friday and plead guilty to the
charge. The justice had looked the
case up somewhat and found that
Smith is respectable fellow and
that while he might take a drink oc-

to get drunk. In addition he was also
the sole support of his aged mother
and was considered by his neighbors
and those for whom he had worked,
to be a good citizen. On account OF
