Fred Burdette, Edward McMurray and Henry Tolbert were arrested on Ann street Sunday on the charge of being drunk. One was from Webster, one from Salem and' the other from the city. They were arraigned before Justice Doty this forenoon and an effort was made to find out from them where they got their liquor. They claimed to have purchased it Saturday night, could remember what they paid for it, but could not remember where they got it. They were fined $5 each and $5.63 costs. Burdette paid up, $10.63, and the others went to jail, where unless they pay they will remain 20 days. It is the policy of the administration to put a stop to drunkenness on the streets on Sunday and drunks who fail to remember where they get their drinks may have time given them in jail to refresh their memories.
