Mic Becker Gets Into Trouble on
Serious Charge,

A warrant was issued after six
o'clock Friday for the arrest Of
Mic Becker, who has been conducting
the Sontag hotel since last winter.
1t is claimed that Becker applied for
liquor license last December, and
that the council granted the applica-
tion. The records show that the bond
was approved Jan. 9TH, but no trace of
the bond can be found. The bar con-
nected with the hotel has been run
all the time, but the $500 license
money has not been received by the
city treasurer.
This state of affairs was first dis
covered a day or two ago, in looking
over the license book. Under the law
the license cannot be granted until
the money has been paid. When ask
ed about the matter night before last,
by the officials, Becker claimed to
have a license and promised to pro-
duce it Thursday morning. During
the night it is claimed that Becker
and another man took away all the
liquor that was on hand, and the room
was closed yesterday. Becker failed
to appear with a license, and it was
reported that he had left the city
but returned last night. Odjard &
knott took out their furniture yester-
day.
The warrant was sworn out by Chief
Yates, and the officers were on the
lookout for Becker today.
In looking over the records, Mayor
Weaver has found that The Saul
paugh bar room took out a license
last September but that it does not
appear that the money was paid I'M
til January 5th.
There appears to have been cul-
pable neglect on the part OF somebody
in permitting saloons to continue for
months without paying the license
money required by law. In the case
of Becker, the city will probably be
out several hundred dollars, if the
charges made are true. 1t is ques-
tion whether the negligent officials
could not be held for the amount I'M
der their bonds.
Chief. Yates states that he was
never informed that Becker had no
license. He started for ST. Peter
after him last evening, but at Kasota
learned that Becker was on the way
home. Since then nothing has been
seen of Becker.
Yesterday morning Becker held
private conference with Mayor Weav-
er, Aid. Petersen and others, and it
was decided to give him day or two
to raise the money, but when it was
learned that he had left the city the
warrant was issued.
1t is said that Becker owes the
brewery something like $780, When
he started in he gave an opening.
The matter was brought to the at
tention of the grand jury too late to
be acted upon.

DETECTIVES HERE.

Two detectives of the Minneapolis
& ST. Louis road are in the city at

bers have told different stories. A
search warrant was gotten out this
afternoon. The road intends to make
an example of the burglars, if they
can be found.
