The e-> ficer took him to two jails. At one place, the police court, he was booke for disorGerly conduct and et-tk county jail for tlhsSa. more serious o4 fe-se of resisting an officer. He mn tried in police court yesterday om0 prejudiced his case with an unlikely story at the outset He said he won in the saloon continuously from o'clock until midnight without tel1z6 a drink The six hours were sp4n5eG in gloomy contemplation of the pass- ing year, which left behind lp 1za ashes memories of much sims4k14 o65 e< row and wasted opportunity. Xo< the last stroke had died away ct nj night, assuming the clock to be t0l rect. John Doe, for that was the only name he would give, began to drink healths to the new year which, ac- cording to the story of the officer, ought to be . very healthy epoch Re corder Jobs having heard the ex- <. traneous statements Of the onlcer and other witnesses, accepted Mr Dcea6 story at it's face value and hn,l him $5.
 Then he was taken to Justice JohF stones court, where the disorderly conduct feature was ecllpsed by the charge of the. resistance of MT. ae to the officer The discourageInena forded him by bystanders was
 considered on the side. Tn
 course of the trial the justice laid down the law regarding the right of officers to go into saloons to make arrests. This is a much moated question in Phoenix and has on several occasions ' nearly provoked homicide. Many pra- prietors of saloons believe that an of- | ficer has no right f6 enter salo-n in an official capacity without a s7eo cial invitation sent him on
 platter. These invitations are
 sent unless the disturbance insi
 sumes the magnitude of murl
 gets beyond the control of the
 prietor.
 Justice Johnstone said this .th Is supported by no law. It is the dol of officers, city and county, to go wherever the law is being broken, whether it be in a church. a saloon or private residence. A saloon, though a temple of Ba.cchus, is not sanctuary for misdemeanor and crime. In fact, the day of sanctuaries and cities of refuge for criminals and lenders has passed. A policeman may go anywhere within the corporate lim- it's and county or territorial official may go where crime is being enac ed.
 The justice animadverted againss' another matter, the carrying Of con- cealed weapons. He was provoked to do so by the testimony of one of the WllItSSeS tHAt dl lHe lIHle UT MT. Does arrest the lights of the saloa0G shone upon the barrels of four rex volvers.
 MT. Does right name, by the way, which he so carefully concealed, is David Warford. His motive of con- cealment was discovered in an entry in the court records which shows that on May %. 1896, one David Warford was sentenced to Yuma for two years for grand larceny, the stealing of three horses from a farmer named Slocum, living north of the city Judgz ment in his case will be rendered Thursday afternoon.
