LIQUOR VIOLATORS
IN JUSTICE COURT
Ed Jones was flnod $200 by Jus-
tiee Hyde last Friday morning, after
ho plead guilty to having liquor iu
tils possession at his ranch on Grli -
zly.
According to Wlllurd Wirt, Mr.
Jones had always up to that time
been a good citizen, and for this
reason. Mr. WlrU, as district attor-jliend
ney for Crook county, recommended
that he bo given as smull a line as
tho law permits. Mr. Wlrtz also ra -
commended that Mr. Jones bo al-
low ed to have a runaonahlo time In ;
which to raise tha money for the flue
nntl that ho be allowed his liberty on I
' Ivind, us he hud two minor mother-1
j less children at home to take care of. j
Mr. Jones was given six months In
which to pay his fine.
Not guilty, was the plea of Alex
and Pearl Davenport, whose case
came Immediately after that of Mr.
Jones.
John Flncher, city marBhall, audi
David Jones, deputy sheriff, whol
rallied the Davenport residence on I
the 19th of last month, were called
as witnesses, and they teatifled that
they found a number of bottles of
moonshine in the Davenport resi
dence, as woll as a keg burled In the
back yard and a bottle in the chick
en house, together with evidences of
moonshine, such as empty bottlos
In various rooms of,the house.
It was also shown In the testi
mony that Mrs. Davenport offered
the officers of tho law a considerable
amount of money If they would go
away and say nothing of finding the
liquor.
A bottle of the product found in
the Davenport home was produced
as evidence, and the sheriff testified
that he had tested it and that In the
keg, and that he found it to be 96 to
97 proof.
M. W. S,klpworth, attorney for the
defence, objected to the testimony at
various points on the grounds that
the search warrant used by the offi
cers of the law was defective, but
his objections were over-ruled by
the Judge, and testimony ordered to
proceed.
The defendants called no wltness-
es, or otherwise defended themselvos
against the charges . against them;
Judge Hyde levied a -fine against
Mr. Davenport of $300, and $100.00
against Mrs. Davenport.
It Is understood that the defeim
ants will appeal their caseS to the
Circuit court which convenes next
week.

A splendid rally was held tuat student body. The motion meeting

teaiu. One miafortune, occured, toe waa selected by the president to
which for awhile appeared as If It
would put an end to the rally. This
was the premature setting off of the
bonfire. The rally was scheduled to
take place at seven-thirty; but some r
one bent on having a little fun of ;
his own, slipped up to the pile and
set fire Ip it at six-thirty. The
crowd that guthered was disappoint j
ed and it appeared as If everyone
had lost their enthusiasm; but the

truck, like a pack of sardines, and
were taken down to Main street. Af
ter giving a few yells, a march was
made which lead through the show,
back through the hotel and up to
two lodge meetings. Not desiring
the presence of the student body at
either of the lodges, the bunch was
hauled back to the high achool. The
fire was then replenished with more
fuel and a marahmallow toast was
then held. Everybody ate marsh
mallows and yelled until a late hour.

After a very close game. Bend suc
ceeded In winning by a score of 20
to 16. With all the players working
their hardest to help win, the con
test was unusually close. A num
ber of fouls were called on Prine
vllle, but strangely, none were called
against bond. At the end of the
first period the score stood 6 to 4 iu
Bend's favor. In the second half.
; everyone played to win. Guarding
j closer than ever, both teams were
! forced to resort to long shots. Thn
j scheduled period ended with a score
; of 16 to 16. A flve-niiuute period
: was added, In which Bend secured
the only two baskets made. Again
remained undefeated on her
j floor. On the other hand, this was
the first defeat Prlncville suffered on
