Licenses are divided into five classes, with fees ranging from not less than $50 to $100 each. In case of damage done by an intoxicated person the liguor dealer is made Hable, and he is further subject to damages should he persist in selling liquor to a person habitually liable to intoxication, after warning from a husband, -wife, child, guardián or employer. The liquor dealer is compelled to give a bond of $1,000 as a guarantee of the fuUfilnient of the provisión of tho law, and in case of violation, is subject to a fine of not lesa than $50 nor more than $100, or imprisonment not less than one nor more than six months, or by both such such fine and imprisonment.
