Answers to the City of Sedalia
for q Violation of Her
Laws.
And Lets the State and County
Remain Unaveuaed.

Charles y. kleuDer, mention of whose
arrest was made in the BAzo0 last Thurs
CAV, on a charge of violating the city or
dinance regulating dram shop iicehse, has
at last settled his troubles With the city,
though considerable persuasive power was
necessary TO bring about this result.
| Ii will be remem bered that when Kleu-
her was arrested. he, on his personal recog.
nizance. was allowed to retain his liberty
until Friday morning, at which time he
! was 10 answer the charges against him
| But time waits for no msD, and Friday
morning soon rollet! around, and when
Kleuber's case was called, he stated tina,
he did not have the money 10 s,raighten

and the case Was postponed again to

But the hour for u reckoning OF Kleu-

self upon The tripod OF Justice, Mr.. Kleuber
vas not in court. Now il seems tina:
kleuber has been making fair promises to
tie different officers. bu, i'm every case h,s
broken faith with them. This coupled
with the apparent contempt for

ordered Marshal Shy to either force kleu-
Der to give safe bond ior his pIearance
Monday morning or else lock him up,
which Was the first intimation Kieuber
had that he could not run rough shod over
the laws Of the city. and which doubtless
brought about n settlement of the much
vexed question, as late IN The day he went
before his honor and plead guilty rs chsrg-

dollars.
Kiu.ber, concluding that discretion was
the better par; of vaior, settled matters,
procured permit in the shape of Ii
cense from the city ,o sell whisky-and
went on his way in peace.
But the city of Sedslia j. not alone in
having her dignity insulied and her laws
trampled under ioOt by &his IMAM. The
state Of Missouri and the County Of Pettis
have alike been openly insulted by this
viola.Or Of the law. Listen to a portion OF
section 5i3S, second volume, revised stat
utes o. Missouri:
Application for license misst be mAde In
writing To- the couhtv court. Anil Ia the
same volume, section $40, states that be-
tore license IL granted. the applicant
must give bond i'm the sim OF one thousand
dollars I" keep an orderly house"
Of course the Law l. plain and most ev.
.rybojy is familiar with 1t, but the BAZOy
wants To ASK whether or not kieuber in
running his business without a state or
county license. has made this requisite

But further. Listen to section 5436.
No person shall. directly or indirectly,
sell intoxicating liquors in any quantity
less than Il gstion without taking out a
license as drsm-shoP keeper"
Has kieuber complied with this provis-
ion iD The revised statutes No. he Is run
ming dram-shop in open violation of the
laws oi his country. and allowed to pursue
his law-breaking course uninterrupted.
And who Is tc blame Shall Kleuber take
The laws I'll Missouri in his own hands and
irample under foot indiscrimiustely, the
authorities Of tine state? The BAzoo thinks
no.. The legislature has made provision
To the contrary aud as Ia the proper party
TO take action in cases OF this kind, the fol-
lowing synopsis OF section 5i5l, revised
statutes vi Missouri is very plain:
Every civil officer, and ev-
cry officer Vi an in orpnrs,ed
city or town. thaviBg knowledge of
the violation Of the law regulating dram
shop license, shall give information thereof
to the grand jury or ii no grand jury is in
session, snail arre-t any person or persons
90 violating the Law, and take them before
a justice of the peace, and upon complaint
made by such civil officer or other, ON

Is moi this iaw plain enough? Does not
IL say ;h,i any officer can make the arrest
where party is discovered selling whisky
without license? And can the officers of
Peitis county plead ignorance Of the fact
that kleuber Is running his business IN vio-
lation Of the law Ii would not appear SD
since the BAzoo has repeatedly published
to TIE world the very information of which
they, perchsnce. plead ignorance.
Ii j, plain fact that every man IN Sc
dslia has been informed OF Kieubers action
