THE sALoONKEEPERs PLEAD.


Many of Them Get Off With $40
Fines-.JOseph Lee Puts Up $500
for Renting Houses TO Women of
Rad characterize mbiers in Court.
The war against the saloOnkeepers was
resumed in the district court yesterday
morning. when another large batch of men
came forward and pleaded to the indict-
ments against them. A number, thinking
that they might as well plead guilty, did So
and were pleased when simple $40 fine
was assessed against them. 4 great many
of the saloon men appeared with their
LAWYERS and made strong fight against
the indictments. the lawyers holding that
the complaint did not show sufficient facts
TO constitute a cause of action. The judge
refused to allow the point to be carried. as
he Thought there was sufficient ground.
Several demurrers were also made on the
pround that the court did not have juris-
5iction in the matter. All those who yes
terday wanted time to plead came for
ward. filed demurrerS and pleaded not guilty.
