we're not present yesterday when it came
TO putting the finishing touches TO the
orders of the council that the license OF
tnat unsavory resort De revoked. Col.
Freeman G.. iced tolephoned to the city
hall early in the day that the big prepa
rations for some sort of swell social al
air underlined at his residence in the
evening mauc it an impossiblity for him
to be at the city hall, as much as he
should have liked to have had hand in
the fun, while Commissioner Guy B. Bar
ham has been absent at San Francisco
for over two weeks upon private business.
Com missioner Wirsching was voted in
to the chair by Commissioners Cook and
Long, and this majority transacted all OF
the business disposed OF at the meeting.
II became rumored late On Monday eve
ming that the pull had so stocked the
cards in the pending game, that when
the Bauer matter should come before the
board, action upon the matter would
be suspended for one week. That would
have carried the thing over to Tuesday,
Decem Der Sd. On Monday next, which
will be December I'd, Theodore Bauer
would have paid his license money for
December in TO the proper channels and
it would have had to have been accepted.
This skillfrl bit of comedy was, however,
not played. although Commissioners
Long, ably seconded by Com m issiorer
Wirscning, both rehearsed their parts very
strongly. They trieo the scheme. in fact,

ling performance. both of the actors in
the play ingloriously fell down.
The councils mandate upon the matter
IN discussion was transmitted to the
police commission by City Clerk Charles
A. Lukckenbach in the following very
pointed communication:

was perfectly willing, be announced with
warmth, to haze the records spread in
the matter. The record, were not
brought into evidence, but they certainly
convey the intimatiua that no reason ex-
listed for refusing the license, and the
chief, when the matter was pending,
publicly endorsed Theodore Bauer as be-
ing Just the man to conduct saloon in
the territory where the Horseshoe flour
ishes. The chief had a great deal to say
about saloon licenses in general and in
formed the board that so far as he was
personally concerned the board could
revoke every license il the city without

AWAITING THE RESULT.
Some forty resi- dents located on Beau
dry avenue had petition before the
board for the abatement OF an alleged
nuisance in the shaps of house OF i'll
Yepute, stated to be located in their
midst. The matter was referred TO Chief
Glass. The proprietress of the place is
said to be the same woman who was
driven out OF another respectable resi-
