Smith Gets Jail Sentence,
Fine, for Volstad Violation

serve 100 days in the county jail
and to pay fine of 500 and the
usual costs.
GAS a rule the man who manu-
lectures liquor-the very fountain
head of the illicit traffic-is not en-
titled to any consideration" Judge
Bourquin said in passing sentence.
"But the case is old and | don't know
any reason for it." A still, mash and
moonshine were found in a raid on
the Sibbitts home late in December
1921.
Smith was granted stay of SEN
tence until Friday when he was or
dered to deliver himself to the U.
S. marshall. The first jury in the
case, drawn Monday, deliberated
more than 80 hours.
Smiths second trial was largely
a reiteration of the first. The gov
ernment, through witnesses, contend
ed that Smith was the owner and
operator of the still found at the
hoihS VI w hlidiH DlDDllto dt w oil
Point and that he had caused the
equipment found in a rade late in
December, 1921, to be brought
there"
Borquin Scored Unfair Jurymen
Great Falls Tribune
Upon jurymen who sit upon cases
not with fairness but with deliberate
intent to defeat justice rests the re-
sponsibility for the lack of law en-
forcement, Judge George Bourquin
told the federal court Tuesday morn
ing in heated arraignment of a juror
whom the foreman intimated was re-
sponsible for a hung jury in the case
of Charles L. Smith, charged with
violation of the liquor laws.
The case was set for trial in to-
days session of court.
The jury was discharged after hav-
ing been in deliberation more than
80 hours.
Gentlemen, you see now why our
laws are not enforced" was Judge
Bourquin's sole comment as he dis
charged the jury, one of whose mem
bers he had previously assailed.
The case went to the jury Monday
and a sealed verdict was ordered by
the court when it had failed to report
at the close of the session. At the
opening of court Tuesday morning,
the Smith jury came in and the fore
nan, A. J. Breitenstein, said that it
was impossible for them to agree on
1 verdict, saying that the majority

Notes of the Game
Old man Shamley's son Todd looked
pretty good Sunday with three hits
out of five times at bat
Our doughty little captain (Jacobi)
didn't do so bad, either, with three
out of five.
Things sure were breaking tough
for Tripp.
Some of the bugs in the stands had
an awful good time kidding Assistant
Manager Henry.
The fans will remember Chouinard
who played short for Opheim. He
was with the Wolves in 1919.
Fellows, we have man along the
fence now, SO you might as well take
the gate-it's SOC anyhow.
Crockett pulled one in the ninth,
but then we all make mistakes.
Connie went long ways for one
of his putouts. Nice catch Connie.
Eaton looked good in his first game.
Dick didn't get hurt-we knew the
Mrs. would line him up.
-Nuffsaid-Big girl n every
thing.
Williams had an error but this is
something that don't happen to Lefty
very often.
Get ready to turn out for Poplar

FLOOR PLAN FOR NEW MARKET IS APPROVED
Bids For Equipment Will Be Asked
 For Soon

Floor plans for the new municipal market, located on Third avenue and Twenty-third street, were approved Wednesday afternoon by the city commission in executive conference with Martin Lide, architect, for the building, D. F. McLendon, president of the commission, announced follow ing the meeting. Bids for the show cases, scales and meat blocks and other equipment necessary will be asked for shortly, it was stated.
 The plans show there will be 100 stalls in the new market, with each stall needing refrigeration supplied from q 5o-ton plant located in the basement of the building. There are 40 cold storage rooms on the main floor and 36 dry storage rooms To- cated in the basement. Three en- frances are supplied on the Third avenue side and one on Twenty third street. The center of the build ing will consist of stalls 2oX20 feet. which can be divided Into two or four compartments. Along the wall there will be longer stalls, which can also be divided.
 Work is being rushed to complete the building to be ready for occu- pancv on June IS. but this would hardly be probable as materials were hard to get at the present, but that effort would be made to turn the building over in the contracted time. Numbers of requests for space in the building have been received by the commissio Rents for the spaces will be low, considering the complete equipment and refrigerating facili- ties, which every stall will be fur nished with.
 D. F. McLeudon. president of the commission. stated that a manager for the building would likely be de- cided upon during the next day or so All of the commi ssioners were agreeable to the plans presented, It Is understood.
