warrants were sworn out here.
United States Marshals Cash and
Harris made the arrest at the
camps in Marion county. To day a
member of the firm received a tele
gram telling him to be quick nnd
tako out license nnd save them
selves. He went to the office of
Deputy Collector W. II. McWhor
ter and asked lor license from
September 1, which was told him,
but was told it would not avail
him anything if lie lind violated
tho law.' He left, and returned in
an exeited manner, asked lor four
moie coupons, representing months
back. They wero sold him. At
the same time he remarked that he
would risk the result. The trial
before tho commissioner followed,
when he had admitted the sale by
the firm and produced the license.
It was n laughing matter with the
court. Messrs. Hill and Uornesly
were discharged. The others were
committed in the sum of $160 each.
