before a Jury and Justice A. F.
Sheets on a cliarge of giving a bot
tle of alcohol to Jack Stewart in the
city jail, S and ay. The case was
hotly contested b.y Mr. Cole, and his
attorney. J P. Rusk, largely on the
ground that th e prohibition law diss
not include the giving of intoxicating
liquors gratuito usly to a friend. Dep

assailed this position as law, hut
failed to ab; wlutely Identify the

unwilling wltn sses, and the jury
after several h Durs deliberation da
elded the defendant wis not guilty.
The city council at the -regular
monthly meetin g levied a tax of 7
Inills for genera, municipal purposes.
The levy was made high to meet a
number of mur.iclpal expenses the
council has in sight for the coming
year, and to tover a slight deficit
this year owing to tho many new
crosswalks con structed tlits fall.
