SAMFORD, J.

The fact that when defendant and state’s witness were schoolboys they had ‍‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‍lots of fights, and defendant “sort of” got the better of witness, is too remote upon which to base ill feeling and prejudice, unless ‍‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‍there were connecting facts showing a continuance of the youthful differences. Besides, the details of such fights would be inadmissible.

The fact that McGowan, the deputy,’ ‍‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‍who was a witness examined by the state, was or was not entitled to a fee of $50 in this case could not have injuriously ‍‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‍affected defendant’s case. This witness did not testify to any fact tending to connect defendant with the manufacture of whisky.

The other exceptions are without ‍‌​‌‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​​‌​​‌​‌​​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌​‌‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​​​‌‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌‌‌‌‍merit.

We . find no error in the record, and the judgment is affirmed.

Ajffirmed.
