GETTING AFTER A LOCAL SYNDICATE.

X J. H. Rousch of Rensselaer was arralnged before Squire Irwin yesterday on the charge of purchasing liquor as a beverage, in signing one of the application blanks at a local drugglst’k which states it is for medicinal purposes. It was reported that Rousch had bought the liquor for a local syndicate of boozers, who had chipped in the price. The evidence in the case would not bear out the charge of the affidavit, the court thought, and the defendant was discharged.
