Whiskey is Always a Big Price, All Things Considered.

Remington Press. A quart of booze is sometimes an expensive luxury, especially in Remington. One James Sheldon, of near Goodland, thinks so at any rate. In a mix-up with C. L. Winters, who works for Chas. Welch, Sheldon got arrested and fined $13.70 for assault. This with the original price of the quart, said to have been $1.25, makes the booze cost him the trifle of $14.95. The trouble all came about over a quart bottle labeled whiskey, which was found wrapped in a rain coat in a buggy. It was at once turned over to Marshal Rush, who in turn returned it :o Sheldon, the owner. Later on in a dispute over the quart, Sheldon smashed Winters and the arrest followed.
