The chap wli'i carried the inoi-ture and who, it seems, ul.iyed the good fellow with the stutl', had irriijated his own thirst to such an extent that he was in a badly intoxicated condiiioii when picked up by Chief Ferguson in town. A search of his raiment revealed a full flask of whiskey, while an empty (jiisrt bottle, which was also secreted in his clothes, bore evidence to how well the bottle had been patronized. On beiii'i takeu before Magistrates Tolton and Richardson the inebriated one told how the boitle had circulated among 'hem <a the Way over. The result wus that he was mulcted 32C0 and costs for having and Jriukint: the booze in a public place, while bis two associates were invited by tlw Chief to the town ha'l, wheic thev admitted before the .Maatatriite of having sampled the tanglefoot on tlie way over and were .assessed $200 and costs each â-  for their sin against the booze act.
