Report of Wallace Mygatt, Sunday police
man, read and referred to the committee on
| Police.
To his Honor the Mayor--and Council of the
City of Ken0sha
l have to report that after being sworn in as
Sunday policeman, did on Saturday night
and early Sunday morning notify the saloon
| keepers of this city that an attempt would be
made to enforce the law which makes it q
crime to sell or give away spirituouS or fer
mented liquors, or to permit card playing or
other games on the Sabbath. All keepers Of
saloons had full and explicit notice, and all
! promised q faithful compliance with the law.
But early in the day i noticed that Williams
saloon on the south end of Main street bridge
was filled with men, and called him out Of
| his saloon twice during the forenoon and re-
quested him to clear his saloon of guests
Later in the forenoon he employed a boat, or
was using boat in going to and from the
rear of his saloon with his customers, with
the purpose no doubt Of avoiding notice and
observation, and it yasreported that one pas
senger in the boat was so grossly intoxicated
as TO fall from he boat into the water.
I recommend that Williams be procee ded
against for forfeiture of his license, and also
for the penal sum Ia his bond, as provided in
duct later in the day
1t is due to AIessrs. Weller, Gibson, Stahl
and Schotfen to say that they cheerfully COM
piled with the law, and did not, either direct
ly, or indirectly, attempt it's evasion. l have
GOOD reason to believe Mr. Duff also fully
complied with the law, as some individuals,
known to the undersigned as drinking men
went in through the private apartments at
Duf7s, but soon went from his place to the
rear of Williams and gained admittance,
showing, as [ believe eOnclusively, they had
not succeeded in gratifying their appetites at
the first named place.
On Market street I feel satisfied Simon
Scheller, George Miller and Hairless, mainly
though reluctantly, complied with the law,
but | regard William RisSe as q person entire
ly untitled to be entrusted with license
His saloon is the resort of men whose moder-
ate earnings, are at least not more than sutfi-
cent to support their families.
| noticed his saloon was filed with guests
throughout the forenoon, notwithstanding l
notified him several times TO wholly close up
and send them away But he manifested
anything but willingness to comply with
the LAWN fact all who chose to visit his sa-
loon found free access through the back door.
Among the habitues of the establishment he
is familiarity known as ''father Rsse" l do
not know how he has acquired this title I'M
less by reason of the numerous brood Of
drunkards he has made. Judging by the
specimens | saw in and about his saloon. /
| springs-occupying about the same scale Of
mental inferiOrity and moral degradation as
| their reputed prOgenitor.
| Late in the afternoon, Rise, in order to
show his1contempt for law, drew back the cur
/ tains of his show window at the front of his
saloon and seated himself on the window pro
lection and in the presence ofa crowd of men,
/ boys and girls, drank several tumblers of beer.
| About this time Doct WyscOop, accompanied
| by H. Reinold, A. P. Tymeson and other sa-
/ qar 10 al hpu n
attempt was evidently made to inaugurate
some disorderly proceedings. Doct. Wyscoop
| broke one light of glass from the show win
dow, and either Reinhold or TymesOn anoth-
er, professedly to seize the tumbIer of beer in
the hands Of Risse, but evidently designed as
a prelude to disorder. Up to that time Market
st. had been as quiet as the inside Of the
churches Of the city.
I regard the saloon kept by Rise as dam
aging institution to this city, and more preg.
nant with Generalization than any other, and
! / recommend that he be proceeded against the
| same as recommended in the case of Williams,
In the afternoon a cripple whose name Lam
| informed is Michael LentZ, went into Relse' 5
saloon with a jug which was filled, conclude
with some kind Of liquid. Afterwards | saw
him with his jug, on the sidewalk in front Of
Williams saloon, busily engaged in the laud-
able occupation Of distributing its contents.
Later in the day the same individual made a
disgusting display on the streets by marching
around with Il small cask strapped to his
shoulders. AS this individual has no employ
ment, and no visible means Of support, re-
commend that he be proceeded against as a
yagrant.
/ About o'clock in the afternoon I saw Mr.
Nogel going to the Island with cask of beeI
on his back He was accompanied by Mr.
Ernst (fsherman) and others Soon after, two
5 casks of beer were brought upon the Marke
ground in the second ward, and this circum
stance took the attention of the thirsty GROVE
from the saloon, and nothing more could bt
done. | understand one cask of beer came
from Wildcn's saloon, and one or more from
GottfredSen's brewery. Beer was dealt on
freely, both on the Island and on the marlle
square, and | saw boys not more than II or /
years old in state of beastly intoxication.
/ The saloon keepers gave me notice in tn
fore part Of the day that l should notice NOR
drunkenness and disorder before the close 0
y the day, than had been witnessed on any Sab
o bath when the saloons enjoyed unrestraine
o license in plying their occupation. Thi
= proved in a latter part of the day to be to som
g extent true lut it viii be noticed the prophesi
l. ers themselves worked out their own mira
:, cles.n
n The saloon keepers, TO d large extent, b,
=, personal influence and by money inaugurate
u the scenes Of ignorant brutality with whie
d the Sabbath was desecrated.
] recommend that the printed form for |
licenses hereafter granted shall only anthoriz
the holder to ply his business from Monda
morning to Saturday night for the year, an
lie that all licenses except upon an endorsemeI
Of renewal upon proof of good behavior, e.
pire once in three months. 1 also recommen
that an ordinance be passed requiring all keel
~ ers of saloons to remove all shades from the
y windows from the time Of closing Saturda
y evening until the time of opening Mondg
re morning.
O. In conclusion I have to report that the S
