since Lieutenant Bannon and Officer
Moore thought it would be good idea to |
find out what the interior contained. They
entered the rear door unheard and came |
upon motley scene of revelry Colored |
men and women intermingIed with the |
white males and females and sat and drank |
at the same tables. They were all tough |
and as much as told the officer so. The |
proprietor was indifferent to the visit -ef |
the officers and carried beer orders into the |
room as If it WAS nothing unusual to see the |
uniformed police officials. One of the |
colored females was apparently very young |
and when asked her age admitted she was |
only II. A piano stood in one corner of |
the saloon and doieful music was thumped |
out OF 1t by some one not an artist. The |
proprietor promised to take the piano out |
of the place the next day. He will have to
answer, however, for allowing minors to
loiter. The neighbors would have COM
planned long since were it not for the no.
toriety 1t would give them.
