from Carmel occupied the attention of

drawn and signed by fourteen free

w. 81. Miller, known as the head of
the Carmel settlement was first called,
and told of the growth of Carmel from
a single house twelve years ago to
village of twelve hundred inhabitants,
with some 1870 houses. Mr.. Miller
swore that majority of the sig1ers of
the applicati on for the license, were
not residents of Carmel. He further
stated that an inn and tavern was not
needed. He thought, however, that
boarding house without a saloon
might be good thing.
| On cross.examination Mr.. Miller said
that there was no place in the town
where strangers could get entertain
ment. He thought it would be good
thing to have boarding house if there
was no license in it.
Solomon Menaker said he had lived
at Carmel year and half and was
property holder as we'll as natural
lied citizen. He was active in getting
up the remonstrance and declared
that he had taken the paper about for
signers, and declared that everyone
was of age. Not only, said Mr.. Menaker,
is there no need of a saloon in Carmel,
but it would be one of the serious
drawbacks to the prosperity of the
village. There was no demand Or
need of such an inn and tavern thinks
the witness, and in support of his
argument he proceeded to give tenn
peranee lecture, but owing to an OBJ
jection upon the part of Mr.. Trench
ard, the Court was obliged to ask him
to subside. Mr.. Menaker said that
the average citizen of Carmel knew
that Mr.. Wasman was the worst man
in Carmel to have licensed place. As
q law abiding citizen, he declared that
Mr., Wasman's reputation was away
below par.
d. Witesman declar ed that licensed
saloon. or even public boarding
house was more than unnecessary.
The licensed saloon he knew would
work a great injury to the place. Mr.
Wasman's character and reputation in
the county was bad, according to the
witness.
On cross-examination Witesman said
he had been in the Sa|eln county jail
for two months. Witesman further
said that Wasman had sold intoxicat-
ing wine without g. license on more
than one occasion.

tavern was entirely unnecessary and
even hurtful.
