Thirsty Ones: Were About to Make Merry When the "Cops" Appeur- ed--=Several liquor Cases in Police Court. It réquired one hour and a hail in the police court on Monday morning for Magistrate Farrell to hear tale surrounding a bottle of whiskey and three 'men whe were supposed to have had am interest in the said bottle. 3 The three ybung men attended a dance ih the City Hall the other nigat One chap, whine out for a breath of fresh air bétween .dances noticed -a man hide a bottle behind one of the cars in the railway yards. Later pn a couple of friends at the dance made the remark that they would like to have a drink. 'Come with me, f know where there is some," remarked the local Sherlock. Holmes. The two "dry fellows' needed no coaxing. Sher- lock led the way. The bottle of whiskey was located, and one men. ber of the party was about to puil the cork when lo! two policemen came on the scene and spilled the beans." + The bottle was dropped ike a hot coal, and --atl, the boys could do was to-watch the good old booze riood the railway cinders. Constables James Cotter . and Danfel MeCarey had thu honor of J cutting off what would have been a drinking party, and the trio' of thirsty ones were taken over to the "lock-up," where there js lots of whiskey but no cork screws to open a bottle. 3 ffhere was a great deal of evi- dence taken in tne cade, but there was one part that did not hinge to- gether very well. This was in refer- ence to a statement one "of the would-be tipplers was alleged to lave made, to the effect that he had a drink out of the bottle behind the box car. The man who did¢-thertalk- ing claimed that what he did say was that he did have a drink on the night in question, but that he did not get the drink out of this particutar bottle. As a result, the magistrate gave "the boys' the benefit of the doubt, but stated that the police had pre- 'fvented them from committing what would have been a breach of the On- tario Temperance Act. | mediately 1 when the magistrate T. J. Rigney appeared for the three chaps charged, and did his best to help unravel the details. | William Stevens hit the trail from { Haliburton to Kingston with a bottle ion his hip. He was charged with being intoxicated in'!a public place, and admitted the charge. 'lI thought they had nothing but | rocks up in your country?' said the {cadi to Stevens. "We've got lots of good stuff up there," replied the accused, and im- there was a stampede among the thirsty ones sitting in the back benches to' consult a map to find out just where Haliburton is | located. Stevens told the magistrate it was a shame to find a fellow for being jdrunk. ; "Sure 1 could get drunk on dande- lion wine and sherry wine, too," he | said (However; the little speech did not help matters any. The regulations of the OT A. must be observed, so the court imposed a fine of $10 and costs. William Keyes almost staggered said that he must pay a fine of $200 and costs tor taking: a round out of the Ontario Temperance Act, o~ in default go to Jail for three months. Keyes made the fatal mistake of carrying around a bottle. William is a stranger in our midst, and he will write home for the money. The magistrate thought it very strange that a.¢hap named R. J. White should bring home three bottles of whiskey from Montreal early in January and not sample the "strong stuff' unthl Saturday. ¢ "Just got it for sickness," said the accused. "Not to bring on queried the magistrate. The penalty was fixed at $10 and costs. Edward Stokes admitted getting under the influence on some liquor he had shipped in from. Montreal three weeks ago, and was called to cover a fine of $10 and costs. rn. Y.M.C.A.
