BELCHER, Commissioner.

Appellant was charged by complaint and information with the unlawful possession of intoxicating liquor for the purpose ‍‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‍of sale in a dry area with a prior conviction for a like offense alleged for enhancement of penalty. Upon a plea of guilty before the court, a jury being waived, she was convicted, ‍‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‍and her punishment was assessed at a fine of $300.

The complaint and information appear regular. The record is before us without a statement of facts or bills of exception.

It is noted that the information ‍‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‍charges appellant with the unlawful possession of intoxicating liquor for the purpose of sale in a dry area, to which appellant pleaded guilty. The judgment, however, finds appellant guilty of unlawfully transporting intoxicating liquor ‍‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‍and of a previous conviction for the unlawful possession of intoxicating liquor for the purpose of sale in a dry area. The judgment is reformed so as to conform with the information and the ‍‌​​‌‌‌​‌‌​​​​‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​​‌‌​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌​​‌‌‌‌​​‌‌‌​‌​‍plea of guilty thereto.

As reformed, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed.

Opinion approved by the court.
