BAY RUM TIPPLER
EXTRAORDINARY SENTENCE. TO WADE IN WATER THIRTY DAYS. After he is alleged to have bragged, in describing how he became tipsy, that he “fairly waded in bay rum," Ewing Karlson, aged 45, was sentenced in Port Jervis to wade in water for the next thirty days says, a Goshen correspondent of the New York Times. Judge Bevans gave him thirty days in the Orange County gaol on a charge of being disorderly after he was arrested twice in. three days for bayrum sprees.
Just now the prisoners of this gaol are being used daily to dredge out the Wallkill River and tributary streams to establish a system of flood control, and while at this work the prisoners wade in waiter all day. So Karlson will be forced to lay off wading in bay rum and do his wading in water instead.
