MATHEMATICS IN BOOZE CASE('oletti Hound Over Under Bonds of SI000; Two Others Fined On Booze ChargesJustice of the Peace Glasgow heard the case of the State of Wyoming vs.1 Joe Coletti of Diamondville on a charge of selling intoxicating liquor, last Friday. From the evidence it appeared that one Andrew Cased!i had purchased three gallons of the forbidden booze and when found with it in 1 his possession confessed to having bought it of the defendant. He tea-1 titled that the latter started his part of the negotiations by asking $32 per gallon for the coffin varnish, but the would-be purchaser complained that! the price was too high, whereupon Co- j b'tti made a bnrgain-day price of $28.35, which was satisfactory.This must have pleased the seller, also, for he multiplied $28.35 by three, very quickly, in his head, and made an even $100. which was paid without question, thus setting at rest any arguments as to the desirability of a college education.Mr. Colletti waived preliminary examination and was bound over to the | next term of the district court, the' contraband booze meanwhile being turned over to the sheriff, duly scale I, for safe keeping, honds in the sum f *1000 being furnished.Cascelll Fined Andrew Cascelli, one of the leading actors in the foregoing drama, was I fined by the same judge, at the sanv* sitting of the court, the sum of $25 for having in his possession, unlaw-*I fully, a ouantity of intoxicating liquor,| consumed and unconnumed. He paid: , the fine.Another With Too Much Wine Steve Saremi, a miner, said to hail1 from Elkol, was placed under amstl one day last week and became th*j‘' guest of the city overnight by reason J of having in some manner acquired i ine of huge proportions. After the kick had worn off sufficiently for hirj to be able to make an appearance in .court he was haled before Justice of Pence^Olnspow and after making the statement that he had been given -some wine by some Italian friend-, j i which was the cause of his disaster, h was permitted to go upon payment i f a fine of $25.
