The recent arrest of the three saloon
keepers for violation of the Sunday liquor
law has been the means of causing much
alarm among the other liquor dealers about
town, and it is stated that meeting has
been held and every saloonkeeper, except
one, signed an agreement not to do any
business on Sunday, and in consequence
there were many who expected as usual to
get their drinks on Sunday were doomed
to disappointment and had to go dry, for
1t was stated on good authority that there
was no liquor sold here on Sunday at the
usual places. Some of the proprietors
gave notice to their customers Saturday
evening of the new departure and in con-
sequence Sunday supply was laid in by
the wise ones. Early Sunday morning on
the top of the sewer dirt on Ward street
beside the warning lantern six empty
whiskey bottles were artistically arranged,
evidently the work of some of the Satur-
day night 'towls" who had laid in for Sun
day but used up their supply before the
dawn of day.
Thomas Whalen made complaint yester-
day that he was assaulted Sunday night
while crossing an open lot near his house

and his appearance shows hsrd usage.
The borough court records will later show
the outcome of the outrageous proceedings.
Mr. Whalen is a quiet, inoGensive citizen
and the assault causes much Indignation.
