CLING nnl Their Linunr.

The "club'' question came before the
courts to-day under new head. The ques-
ton at issue was whether club could re-
tail liquor to It's members by the drink. The
defendant was Ed. Mcclellan, the treasurer
of the South Washington Pleasure Club.
Mr. Mcclellan keeps a cigar store at 307
Seventh street southwest, and was charged
with keeping an unlicensed bar also. There
were two letters filed with the warrant
which were written by wives of the mem
bers and directed to Major Dye, complain
ing of the defendants place and stating
that their husbands were squandcring their
money there.
Several members OF tue club swore that
they bought whisky at ten cents per drink
from Mr.. Mcclellan, and beer at five cents.
James CAST young man who resided at
5l3 NJ street, testified that lie used to be
in the employ of the defendant to "attend
to the back room," where he sold beer and
whisky. Mr. Ed. ID. Wright appeared for
the accused and claimed that as an officer
of the club he had right to sell the liquor
to members. The court held otherwise and
imposed fine of Sl05. An appeal was
noted.
