APPEAL TAKEN BY MIDDLETON D. W. “Wes” Middleton was ar- raigned before Judge John A. Mur- ray in police court yesterday after- noon and was fined $100 on a charge of Mquor violation. Middleton had already prepared an appeal bond and as soon as the judge pronounced the sentence he brought out the papers and appealed the case. Judge Murray scored him roundly for “attempting to defeat the in- tents and purposes of the law.” The evidence given during the case was to the effect that when Middleton was arrested Saturday a 10-gallon keg of moonshine had been discov- ered in the garage of his home. Reading Between Lincs in the Day's News of Casper. At last D. W. “Wes” Middleton, notoriously known, has had to face Judge John A. Murray in police court.
