The San Francisco call., 1896-02-04

University avenue, West Berkeley, at
about 10 O'Clock in the evening. Lloyd
says the proprietor was serving whisky
and beer TO several customers and the
officer endeavored to seize the bottle from
which the liquor was poured. In order to
do SO Lloyd jumped on the bar.
According to Lioyd's story Higgins
quickly overturned the bottle and, aided
by customer, attempted to prevent it
from falling into the officers possession.
The officer received two blows on the head
from his assailants, but managed to get
hold of the bottle.
Higgins was arrested for selling liquor
without license and the customer who
attacked the Marshal was charged with
battery.
The arrested saloon-keeper denies that
any assault was committed by him or any
OF his customers, and says that no liquor
has been sold in his place. Marshal Lloyd,
however, has the bottle over which the
struggle occurred, and, though it was
empty before he secured it, it has an
odor that shows it's contents TO have been
whisky.
Lloyd is decidedly unpopular among the,
illicit saloonmen and their customers in
Berkeley, and his assault is not occasion
for surprise. He has conducted a vigorous
anti-liquor cam paign in the town for many
months.

To Break the Charter.
BERKELEY, CAL, Feb. 3.-It became
known to-day that plan is being quietly
but energetically pushed in West Berkeley
which, ii carried to successful issue, will
attract considerable public attention in
the near future. The scheme is nothing
less than to overthrow the present city
charter, and the work Of so doing is said
/ to be in the hands of a number of indi-
viduals who feel that they have grievances
to right as things now stand.
One ground of procedure i'll the matter
of breaking the charter was to have been
the alleged fact that two of the freehoIders
who originally framed the document were
not citizens; but this plan has now been
abandoned, as it is conceded that as ma
jority of the freehoiders were citizens the
work of that body would stand. A petit
ton has been in circulation for several
days, the object of which is to secure funds
to carry on the case. and it is stated that
liberal sum has already been subscribed
and paid for that purpose, and that we'll
known Oakland attorney has been secured
to represent the interests of those con-
cerned in overthrowing the charter.

meeting, called by Mrs. F. v. Paget, the
supporters of the plan have been working
vigorously among the heretofore non-in-
terested element, with the result that
many converts have been made. One of
the leaders in the movement to supply the

wiches stated to-day that she was very
hopeful for the favorable outcome of the
plan.
