The defendent is a blacksmith who runs a saloon in connection with his shop. He has been arrested before on the same charge, but proved his innocence.

Henry Strehlow was the next applicant for judical clemency. Though Mr. Buxton made an earnest appeal in his behalf, the judge was quite severe in the deliverance of his judgement, stating that had not the prisoner closed out his saloon business he would have sentenced him to a term in the state's prison. As it was, he escaped with a term of six months in the house of correcctions and a fine of $100.
