Liquor Business the Biggest.
The most casual survey of the re-
port betrays the fact that the majority
of the cases that are brought to the
courts attention come from the viola
tion of the liquor laws. 1t is also
evident that the majority Of the VIC

Last Quarterly Report.
The report shows that there were
more fines during the last quarter, this
resulting from the jury trials held
in the fall term of the court.
AS a matter of course, most of the
fines and the larger fines, were imposed
as a result of the violation of the pro-
hibition laws.
Those fined for possession or sale
of intoxicating liquor during the last
three months of the old year were An

Fines For Other Offenses.
The report shows that all of the
fines except seven in the circuit branch
of the municipal court were for Ii
quor violations. The seven other cas-
es were for statutory offenses, and as
sault and battery cases.
Judging by this report it would seem
that without the work imposed upon
the court in connection with the IL
quor enforcement there would not be
very much business!
In the justice branch fines. were col
lected for gambling, for operating an
automobile while intoxicated or with
out license, for exceeding the speed
limit, for violation of the game laws,
reckless driving, assault and battery,
larceny, abusive language and other
infractions of the law.
