1Opinion of the CourtCook, J.
‘■Appellant was indicted in separate indictments; the one charging him with being drunk and disorderly in a public place, and the other with carrying concealed a pistol. These cases were consolidated and both tried at the same time. The jury returned a verdict acquitting appellant of the charge of being drunk and disorderly, and a verdict finding him guilty of the charge of carrying concealed a deadly weapon, whereupon the court sentenced appellant to confinement in the county jail for a term of sixty days and imposed a-fine of one hundred dollars. From this judgment this appeal is prosecuted.
