Both District Attorney .Winston and his assistant, District Attorney Green, have been daily on the job. It has required both working hard. No suoh court has been held here in a many year The two departments expected the outbreak following the passage of the Drier act and put all men in the Held who could be spared. They naturally feci good over results.
