Show Long Time Between Drinks MOORfT TAKES JAIL SENTENCE Officers are Determined "Dry" Law Shall Be Enforced Anybody who expected that infractions of the new State dry law would be winked at in Mil- ford and that the bootlegging and drunken practices could continue with little molesta- tion, must have received quite a shock yesterday. One S. T. Moore, a man of apparently middle age, was ' found mellowy drunk near the railroad tracks Wednesday. Deputy Sheriff Hedges arrest- ed the man and placed him in the city bastile and notified the County Attorney, Russell Par- ' sons, who came up from the county seat Thursday and tried the man before be-fore Justice of the Peace J. A. In-gols. In-gols. Two pint bottles of whiskey and a pint of Jamaica ginger were found on the person of Mr. Moore. When asked where he procured the liquor he stated that he got it from two young men whom he did not know. Mr. Parsons made a very impass- ioned plea for the conviction of the offender and stated that the people muat be made to know that this new prohibition law was not something with which to meddle. It must be obeyed. Mr. Parsons says that it is the policy of the prosecuting officers throughout the State of Utah to go after such lawbreakers with great vigor and persistence. Judge Ingols pronounced sentence upon Moore, the same being that the offender pay a fine of $150, or that he be imprisoned in the county jail for 160 days. Owing to the financial embarrassment of Mr. Moore he selected se-lected the jail sentence as most appropriate ap-propriate to his circumstances and will thus have a sufficient time to sobej up and meditate before being turned loose again to roam amid the temptations and heat of -a dry and thirsty world. |
