The Riverside Prohibition Ordinance
Getting In Its Work.
RIVERSIDE, Jan. 12.-Since the pas
sage OF the prohibition ordinance in this
county some weeks ago, the anti-liquor
people have had detectives watching for
violaters Of the ordinance, with such
good effect that six arrests have been
made up to date. Next week the trial
of the first case will take place, and it
is expected that some interesting devel-
opments will take place. One of the
arrested parties is the owner of wine
ranch in the county, while two hotel
keepers have been arrested. who, it is
clsimed, did not comply strictly with
the clause in the ordinance permitting
the sale of liquors by hotels. An array
of legal talent has been engaged on both
sides, and the fight promises to be a
long and bitter one.
