Sacramento saloon-keepers may be in
terested in knowing that in Chicago a
Court has decided a case involving the
right to eat q free lunch in saloon The
Court held that any person had right to
partake Of such lunch, whether he bought
drinks or cigars or not; and, to put a stop
to its being deyoured by the undesirable
element, the saloon-keeper's remedy was
to warn the hummer that he was not
wanted about the premises, and then eject
him if necessary. In the case in Court the
saloonist bounced the hummer and warned
him afterwards. In consequence he had
to pay fine Of s. for commencing at the
wrong end of the programme.
