 Peter Boufford was fined $1O0 and costs, amounting to $11S.2O, by Judge Heald in the borough court Monday afternoon for bOotlegging. The prose- cution of Boulfford was brought about after John Rudic had been arrested and tried for drunkenness and breach of the peace Rudic pleaded guilty and was fined $5 and costs amounting to $12.36. He said that he gave Bouf- ford $10 bill last Saturday night to get him some liquor. Boufford took the money and returned in few min utes with two pints of moonshine and gave Rudic $6 in change, charging $2 a pint for the mOOnshine.

Neither men had money with which to pay the fine so both were sent to Holland jail, Rudic for five days and Boufford until he has worked out his fine of $100 at the rate of $1 day or until some friends pay his way out.
