THE MILLER CASE.
The case of the city against Chris Mil
Ter for running his saloon contrary TO the
Pomona liquor ordinance now in force
in this city was today passed on by Su-
perior Judge ]. W. Towner, who said that
section 8 of said ordinance compelling
the proprietor to remove tables, chairs,
benches, screens. etc., and provide that
the bar shall be in full view OF the street,
is void because 1t is unreasonable. This
knocks out the moss Objectionable part
Of the ordinance, and this is the point
the saloon men were working for. Mil
Ter had been convicted on charge Of
selling liquor without license. He made
a motion for u new trial, which was
heard today before Recorder Matthew's.
The motion was denied and Miller was
sentenced to pay sne of SIS and costs,
or suffer ten days imprisonment. De-
PENDANT at once gave notice of appeal to
the superior court.
