We have just opened up for bursness in the Garrigues Building on Main Street We will treat you fair and will appreciate a share of your patronage. : : We Can Do All Kinds of Repair Work. Jake Dexter Is Fined $50. A penalty of fifty dollars was as sessed Jake Dexter by Judge Phelps yesterday, and added to this was some advice by the Court that Dex ter should long remember. Dexter was found guilty on t'ne charge of furnishing liquor to minors. He is a minor himself and is 19 years of age. He came into court without an attorney and refused to have one. No objection was raised on his part to any of the jurors drawn and he asked but one or two questions of the witnesses called by the state, neither did he make any defense, so the case went to the jury this way and the boy was found guilty. It was because of his age that the Court did not impose a heavier pen alty and Dexter was warned by the Judge not to appear before him again on such a charge for if he did the punishment would be much more severe. The Verdict Is Not Guilty. The above verdict was returned on Tuesday in the case of the State of Oregon vs. J. L. Wilkins, indicted for selling unwholesome meat. The jury consisted of John S. Abbott, Fred Esteb, Peter Susbauer, W. A. Wilcox, Thos. Nichols, L. D. Hale, W. H. Padberg, L. E. Gay, O. M. Whittington, F. E. Bell, Henry F. Blahm and John Hughes. This case created considerable Interest. It was known as the "bloated beef" case and grew out of the disposing of some meat last summer by M. R. Fell, employee of Wilkins, the meat being a young steer that had died from alfalfa bloat. There was no de nial of the Belling of the meat or of Its condition but the jury, on hear ing the evidence produced concluded that Mr. Wilkins had no knowledge of the transaction and was therefore guilty of committing no crime and so rendered their verdict.
