IN MUNICIPAL COURT

A man giving the name of William D..
Jones parked his Haynes car in front
of the Manitou Hotel contrary to
ordinance Monday evening, thereby
making big mistake. Assistant Police
Chief Ladwig stepped in to tell him
about it and detected the odor of in
toxicants on Jones and his party, The
police have long been looking for the
mysterious car that makes deliveries
through here and the officer took a
look. He found case of twenty-four
pints of old stuff and also two extra
pint bottles, one partly empted. In
court Tuesday he said that he had
bought the stuff at Milwaukee for his
own use, and the story, seemed to ring
true. He had never been in trouble
before. lie was fined 5000, which he
paid. The court relieved him of the
booze and will hold the new Haynes
until it is thoroughly established that it.
was not used for peddling whisky. Our
suggestion would be to put a guard
over the court vault.
A man giving the name of r. A.
Harvey, in the city for the purpose of
soliciting subscriptions for a Milwau-
kee newspaper, managed to acquire
possession of some Manitowoc moon
shine and not being warned of its
potentialities treated it as beverage in
stead of saving it for a varnsh re-
mover He regaled himself on a pint
of it and stated in court that he has
no recollection of the subsequent pro-
ceedings, part of which the police as
serted were what is politely called in
decent exposure. This form of amuse-
ment set Mr. Harvey back S25 and
costs, which was light at that because
of a fine army record and previous
gold behavior.
John Schuber, of Greenstreet, was
in court Friday for second time
charged with using the abusive Ian
guage which it is alleged he applied to
a church committee some time ago.
On complaint of one member of the
committee he was given a maximum
sentence some weeks ago. This time
another member of the committee had
him arrested for the same language.
Shubert's lawyer protested that he
could not twice he tried on the same
state of facts, but the court ruled
against him. A large number of wit
nesses were examined and the matter
was vigorously contested bui the Jury
found him guilty and he got the maxi
mum penalty of 500 again. The jury
was out three and a half hours. 1t
was composed of Fred Schmalfeldt,
Victor Trastek, August Krueger Chas
Haase, Arthur Reichert and Walter
Wernecke.
Yesterday Shuber filed an appeal to
the circuit court and is at liberty on
a bond of $500. The appeal is prob
ably based on the law point of alleged
former jeopardy rather than the facts
although Shuber at both trials denied
that he had employed the language al
legged.
Jacob Stanzel of Timothy ran out of
gasoline and he and a companion left
their Ford coupe parked at Tenth and
Commercial streets while they went to
look for fuel. Officer Tomchek's at
tention was attracted by the absence
of license plates and he found that this
deficiency was made up by the car be
ing equipped with two full quarts of
liquor The license had been applied
for. Stanzel said he was on his way
to a party and that the stuff was a gift
from an unnamed friend. He paid the
court $50 per quart. The friend was
not prosecuted.
j. j. Van Dreese, of Two Rivers
paid $40 and costs yesterday for pass
ing street car headed the same way,
which was discharging passengers.
Having pleaded mot guilty" William
Funkel a Newton cheesemaker will be

cheese with larger percentage of
moisture than is allowed by the statute
