SUNDAY l TRAFFIC.

The decision given yesterday afternoon by
Judge Ziebach in the case of the city against
John Jacobs, charged with selling liquor
on Sunday, was based upon the following
section Of the city ordinance relating
thereto:
Sec. s. No person or copartnership Of
persons shall keep open his or their saloon
on the Sabbath day, commonly called Sun.
day, nor on week days, between the hours Of
1880 o'clock at night and four o'clock in the
morning, nor during such time sell, bargain,
or in any manner dispose Of any malt, spir:
ituous or vinous liquors to the disturbance
of the peace and tranquility of the city and
any person violating the provisions Of this
section shall, on conviction, be fined not Ia
exceed twenty-five dollars for each and
every such o8ense.
Judge Ziebach ruled that the complaint
was defective because it did not allegs thai
the saloon was kept open to the "disturb'
ance Of the peace and tranquility Of the
city" The defendant was therefore dis,
charged and the case dismissed. Upon thi,
decision hinged several other similar cases
