PER CURIAM. Tom Phillips and Lester Keeter were convicted on an information jointly charging that they did unlawfully convey 13 sacks of intoxicating liquor from a place in Stephens county unknown to a place about five miles southeast of the town of Comanche, and were each sentenced to be confined in the county jail for 90 days and to pay a fine of $300.
