It develops that one of the boys who procured liquor from a Warsaw saloon keeper was a student at Winona, and the chap told the bartender that he was twenty-one years of age. At the trial he admitted that he lied and the probability is that he will have to pay rather dearly for that lie. It is bad enough for a young boy to go into a saloon and drink, but it is infinitely worse for him to lie in order to procure liquor. This chap looked to be of age and the bartender was not really at fault, b it he was stuck for a good big fine by the mayor of Warsaw just the same.—Columbia City Post
