Brave Bootlegger at Monticello Doing Business in the Open.

Monticello Journal. An original idea in boot legging was carried out last night when an unidentified man from Logans-pefi-t stationed himself in front of the Forbis hotel and with a ‘bottle in one hand and a glass in ■ the other offered to sell drinks to the dry passersby. He was well supplied With bottles and evidently had partaken liberally of their contents. Persons around the Pennsylvania Station had noticed him when, he got off the 4:47 train from the east and had remarked a certain queerness in his manner. For several! hours after arriving in the city he disappeared from the public eye and then made his appearance on the down town streets ready for business. Just when trade was beginning to pick up, unfortunately ( ) some one notified Marshal Ireland and the whiskey vender was deposited in the city Jail, where he is now awaiting trial.
