“Comrade” Fox Charged With Unlawful Sale of Liquor.

On affidavit filed by Deputy Prosecuting Attorney C. M. Sands, Squire Irwin issued a search warrant Thursday and officers went out near the old depot that evening to the “shack” occupied by Charley Fox, who carries the mail between the Rensselaer postoffice and the Monon station, and it is alleged found several quarts of booze. A warrant was thereupon issued yesterday morning charging Fox with keeping a place where intoxicating liquors are sold, contrary to the peace, dignity, etc., of the state of Indiana. At |his writing the warrant had not been served, but probably will have been before The Democrat reaches its readers. Fox occupies a small building on the south side of the Monon tracks; just east of the site of the old depot. It is alleged that a bunch hangs about ihs place who are frequently under the influence of liquor, but whether or not there is anything in the charge of* his having sold them intoxicants, remains to be shown. For was still carrying the mail as usual yesterday.
