Show oo FINED 1 FOR DISREGARD OF LI Thomas Hunt,, who was arraigned in noliec court this morning on tho charge of drinking and bolng in possession pos-session of a bottle of whiskey which was discovered by Deputy Sheriff Brown, possesses the degree of W. K. T. P. P.. and in order that one may not dwell In doubt as lo what that degree de-gree is it is hereby explained that It is well known to the police and is not an enviable degree. Thomas graduated In tho art of hard drinking long ago. He fell again yesterday yes-terday and his pica that "he had a disease ot the head which cannot be treated in jail" did not avail with Judge Roberts who ordered payment of $50. The Christmas trade is not confined to the stores, as the morning duties of Judge Roberts indicated. It Is taken tak-en for granted that as tho Christmas season approaches men aud women of a dry town will need to drink everybody's every-body's health to tho detriment of Uioir own, and sheriffs officors and police patrolmen aro called to keep their weather oyes wide open just now. Deputy Blackburn conveyed Mark Reed to court this morning because Mark was negotiating lowor Twenty-fith Twenty-fith in double possession of whiskey Inside and outsldo. Judge Roberts repeated, what must b'o a phrase of his dreams by now, "$50 or thirty days in the city Jail. It is so ordered." |
