EUGENE S LATE
CITY ELECTION
Eugene, June 26— That the
blind pig business is getting to lie
obnoxious to all is evident from
the sentiment which is growing to
ward wiping them out and they
certainly received a body-blow by
the prosecutors at this term of
court, and Judge Harris added a
clincher by imposing a jail sen
tence in each case.
Vivian Duutou of Walterville
caine into court yesterday after-
noou and pleaded guilty to the
charge of selling liquor contrary
to the provisions of the local option
law. If he expected a light sen
tence he was mistaken, for Judge
Harris had looked up his record
and as he stood up for sentence
the judge surprised him by reciting
the number of times he had been
before the court in the past six
years on similar charges and im
posed a fine of $4(X) and a jail
sentence of 50 days. Dunton
said to an officer as he took him
off to jail that a man is a fool to
persist iu doing this kind of busi
ness, and should be sent to jail all
his life, if he didn’t know any
better, on general principles.
Mart Endicott, who was found
guilty by a jury, was sentenced to
pay a fine of $250 and 40 days in
jail.
Jess Hdy was sentenced to pay a
fine of ¿lfki and .40 days in jail on
one case and was given 40 days
in jail on each of two other cases
on which he also plead guilty,
making a total of $100 line and
9 0 days in jail.
Oscar I’arsons was sentenced to
pay a fine of $250 and 40 days in
jail.
C. S. Luplou is the only, one
left on this batch of indictments
and it is said he expects to stand
trial.
There are now eight persons in
jail as a result of the illegal sale
of liquor. The principal point the
prosecution has made this lime has
lieen securing of the samples of
so-called “ near beer” from parties
who bought it of the defendants
and it has been thoroughly ana
lyzed and found to contain from
four to six per cent of alcohol.
In the juvenile court the case of
Chas. Dyer, jointly accused with
Fay Allison in the Cottage Grove
rape case, was dismissed.
