corner of South street and Central ave

making his usual rounds, noticed that all
the lights in Toner'S saloon were light
ed, and It looked as if he was doing
the saloon and tried it. He found it
locked. He listened and heard many
voices inside. Then he locked through
the keyhole and saw that the place was
full Of men, He went to the rear door
and tried that, only to find it closed also.
Then he tried the side door; that was
closed also The policeman on the post
came along at this moment, and Wills
housen sent him to the rear door and
went himself to the front door. They
knocked, but no one answered. They re-
peated the knocking but it did no good.
stu the merry murmur of the voices in
side could be heard. Finding that they
could not get in, the policemen decided
to let no one out. They waited a few
minutes and soon saw a head peer out
over the front curtain. 1t quickly dis
