POLICE COURT,
Trumpet Up Charges Against a Sout
Main Street Dealer.

Trumpet Up Charges Against a South
Main Street Dealer.
Attorney Colley this morning brought
three cases against James E. Watts, the
South Main street saloon keeper, for
selling to minors. Colley's only witness
was youth recently convicted of steal
ing liquors from the saloon of MI
Watts 1t will be remembered that
Frederick Barto was fined in the police
court on Monday for the theft of several
bottles of liquor from the front window
of J. E. Watts saloon. He was de-
Tended by Porter L. Wood that morn
ing. In the afternoon Attorney Wood
went to Mr. Watts place Of business and
told him that unless he settled with him
there would be charges of selling to
minors preferred against him. Mr.
Watts refused point blank to be the
sufferer in any such blackmail case as
that. Wood then told him that unless
he paid Barto's fine he would have to
settle with Colley. Watts knowing he
was innocent refused to settle. Yester.
day he was served with papers on three
cases, one by Frederick Barto, one by
Will Bissell and another by Barto's
brother. Barto said he bought drink in
Watts saloon, and on that case he was
fined $40 and costs by Judge Bradstreet
Barto's brother could not substantiate
his charge and the case was thrown out
When Bissell took the stand he said he
was offered fifty cents by Barto tc
testify against Mr. Watts. He said he
never was in Watts saloon and knew
nothing about the case. This case was
also thrown out. Last night a man
whom Mr. Watts will have as a witness
on the convicted case which was ap
pealed, went into his place and told hin
that Barto had been up to the clocl
shop and had offered four boys fifty
cents a piece to testify against Watts
Bissell was one of the four. A father o.
one of the boys was in Mr. Watts place
this morning and said he would be {
witness at the next trial. Chief Ega1
this morning said that the saloon of J
E. Watts was one of the best conducted
in the CITY,
