placed on trial for operating an auto
mobile recklessly. This was a case
taken on appeal from the lower court.
Norman was found guilty.
The third trial for the day was
against John Wyman Of Phillips. The
witnesses for the State were Deputies
Charles Robbins and W. L. Leavitt.
The charge was the manufacturing Of
SIX gallons of intoxicating liquor, to
wit: beer. One jury being out, it was
impossible to make up IL men for an
other jury. SO the sheriff called certain
men from the audience. Those called
were Frank kpowlton, Cassius Clark
and Fred Wheeler. At this trial the
wife of the defendant, together with
their child about four years old, sat In
side the bar rail, while the defendant
occupied the usual prisoners chair.
His attorney, Hon. c. N. Blanchard,
occupied a chair between the two.
The evidence in this case was in
complete when court recessed for the
night. Deputy Leavitt had explained
his finding the beer, and Deputy Rob-
bins had corroborated this. The case
will doubtless be completed Friday
morning.

Nobody Can Ride
With Mail Man

No one should expect the man who
delivers mail for Uncle Sam to STOP
and give then a lift" because Uncle
Sam has ruled against it. The posi-
once, in its recent campaign OF IN.
forming the public relative to postal
matters, according to announcement
from the office Of Postmaster John @
Arnold learned that in some sections
Of the country rural carriers were
permitting unauthorized persons
such as members Of the family, 70
accompany them on trips OF making
delivery. Notices have been mailed
to all postmasters in charge OF rural
routes that rural carriers cannot per-
NIT any persons, unless post office
employees, to accompany them on any
part Of their route.
It was also learned that rural boxes
were used in some cases as the me-
dunn Of advertising without sending
the matter through the mails. While
boxes are erected by and are the
property Of postal patrons, they are
under the direct supervision of the
postal authorities and may not be
used for any other purpose than re-
ceiving and dispatching mail The
placing OF circulars. samples, ETC., in
rural mail boxes by private concerns
is a violation of the postal laws and
regulations and subject to heavy
lines.
