William Ansley was arrested yester-
day morning for certain doing in Louis
Kistlers restaurant but so far as known
| nothing has been done with him. Why
nothing was done with him was a mat

statement of the case by both Mr.. Kist-
Ter and the police is given below.
Louis Kistler, the North Main street
restaurant man, was seen at his place
Of business and asked concerning the
episode said to have occurred in his
restaurant by Bill Ansley drawing his
revolver and holding up certain citizens
He said:
The report is true, as I learned II
from my son who had charge of the
restaurant and the facts as I ascer-
tain them from my son and Mr. Hay
wood. the candy man, are as follows:
Between u and 1 O'Clock the man
came Into the restaurant beastly drunk
and took a seat on the north side of the
room. and dropped back his head as
though going 20 take nap. In a short
time lot of young men, one of whom
had horn, came in. In a little time
one of the boys took up the horn and
sounded the scale. This appears to
have aroused the devil in the man, and
he jumped TO his feet and with an oath
told them he would fill the first of them
that attempted to make a noise, full of
holes.
He told them that he meant what
he said, and drawing big revolver
pointed 1t directly at the men. They
ala not attempt to play any more. He
next told them to stay where they were
and not one of them TO move until he
gave them permission. It was a regu-
lar hold-up that we read about
He next took his seat and laid his
revolver across his lap, saying he would
shoot the first s b that ATTEMPTED
to leave the room or to come in. He
was perfectly wild-eyed, swearing that
he had killed more men than he had
myers and toes. He would not let the
boys move. but held them prisoners.
about this time Young Bristow
came in and took a seat on a stool He
asked what was the reason for them all
being so quiet, and met his answer by
Ansley putting the revolver against his
breast while it was cooked and making
him get down off the stool
About this time Haywood slipped
out and rung up the police. The call
was answered by the chief of police and
Harry Sultan. If you will see Sultan
he will tell what happened after he left
the house"
Harry Sultan was met and in answer
to questions. said:
About l O'Clock the chief and myself
were at the station where the call came
for policeman TO come to KistIer's
restaurant. We both got in the buggy
and went TO the place. Just as I was
about to step in man took men by the
arm and told me not to go in as the
man was crazy. and would shoot. I
drew my revolver and walked in and
laid my hand on him and asked him
what was the matter He tried to hide
the revolver and when I told him to
give it to me he refused l took IL
from him, and took him out to the
buggy and made him get in with the
chief / told them to drive to the sta
ton and I would walk When I got TO
the STA ton / went to the lower door
and rung up Fisher and told him the
chief would be there with a prisoner.
I'm little time we heard Ansley and
the chief in the office. The chief told
me to watch the man and he would go
and see what he had done. while he
could find the witness. Ansley grew
so abusive that I locked him I'D and
after waiting an hour got tired and
went to hunt the chief
Il did not get up very early in the
morning and I was not present during
the session of the police court. I can
not say what disposition was made Of
