SENTENCED BY BEER FOR PEDDLING BEER

Bismarck, N.D., Jan 16.—Isham Hall, known as the "king blindpigger of Bismarck," yesterday pleaded guilty in justice court, before Justice Beer, to the charge of selling beer. He was fined and sent to jail for 90 days.

Last Saturday, after eight witnesses had sworn they had purchased liquor from Hall, he was freed.

State's Attorney McCrdy immediately ordered his re-arrest, and yesterday when Hall learned that McCurdy proposed to take the case directly into the district court, he made the plea of guilty.
