A Real Occurrence.
One of the most laughable and amus
ing incldenhrthat we have heard of in j
many years took place in Loulsburg j
on Christmas eve. It seems that a |
certain citizen of our town who claims ,
himself a strong prohibitionist and j
law abiding citizen, proceeded to cafl i
the mayor to account for not enforc
ing the law to the letter, and even In .
a. very techlnal way, saying that he
(tlie mayor) should go to the express ]
office and make note of all packages
over one gallon In size and haTO .-the
party to whom addressed "jaoked
up" m court to answer to a charge un
der the search ahd seizure act. The
mayor made an engagement with the
gentleman to go to the express office
on tfttff mission, but when the time
came to go the mayor was alone.
However, the mayor not wlshlhg to
have It said a matter of this kind had J
been <*yut right lifluare up" to h1m
and he had; pal? no attention to It,.
proceeded/ by himself. 8ure enough
when h? tot th
returned over town. ?? saw one of
rrmnklUVfcest clUa^cs wW*s rtufee'
M wouM
ii
thing pertaining to whiskey, and went
up to him spying "Mr. A. I noticed a 3.
gallon package or whiskey at the ex-4
proas office addressed to you. Isn't thla
exceeding.the law," to which Mr. A..
expressed 'a little surprise, but In
formed the mayor that It wasn't his
but'that It belonged to Mr. D. and E.
who had ordered it In his name. The
peculiar part of the transaction is
that Mr. b. was the citizen who was.
roasting the mayor so.lor not looking
after these shipments. ?
