the time sst for hearing the case Of the
People vs. Peter Steil, charged with vio-
lation OF ordinance No. 920, by selling
beer after the prescribed hour.
The case came up before Recorder
Rossiter, and the defendant answered
by filing q demurrer to the complaint,
through his attorneys, Hutton & We'll
born Of Los Angeles, who also asked that
next Tuesday be fixed az the time for
hearing.
The demurrer claims that no public
offense was committed, that two Of
fenses are charRed--eelling and giving
away liquor, that it IL uncertain In not
charging defendant specifically with
selling, etc., and that the complaint
fails to state to whom the liquor was
sold.
There is no doubt that when the
case comes to trial there will be gen.
uine legal war. Mr.. Steil says he is de.
termined to see the thing through II he
has TO carry it to the supreme court.
THAT ELECrRIC FRANCHISE.
What 10 the matter with the Oonsol-
idated Electric Railway company After
all the fuss they have made about get
ting the supervisors TO advertise the
county franchise for sale, they have
failed to comply with the first require
ment to put . $500 bond with their bid
of $25, and consequently the bid was re-
iected. After the trouble to which the
Pasadena board OF trade has been to in
this case, at one time sending commit
tee OF 100 to interview the supervisors,
it would seem as the company might
at least take interest enough in the
scheme to take the franchise when
offered to them.
