The penalty for a single sale is 10 dols, fine, and from twenty to thirty days' imprison ment ; tor a second violation, 20 dols., and from thirty to six:y days' imprisonment ; and for any subsequent violation, 50 dols., and from "three to six months' imprison ment, with an extra'month in each case when the fine is not paid. The keeping with intent to sell is punished by 10 dols., fine, and twenty days' imprisonment. The seller is liable for all damage done by the buyer and drinker while drunk, and any person arrested for drunkenness can escape prosecution by appearing as a witness against the man of whom he purchased his liquor.
