The arguments in the case against w
H Gunther for illegally selling liquor
will be heard next Wednesday, and all
drug store cases will rest until that
time. The prosecuting attorney wishes
to hurry the case; and the victims are
equally as anxious to continue them as
long as possible, to shorten the Sus-
pension of permits threatened by the
probate court pending trial in district
court The witnesses introduced yes

Ewing, the absorber of many StraIghts,

goodly number of sales were attributed
to the defendant and his two clerks.

ness set for today was also continued,
and it will have a hearing at a later
date. AS Jump has no druggists
permit there is no hurry as long as his

Thomas Henry, the weakened, Grip
pied individual who walks on clutches
and frequents the police court, was to
be examined this morning for disorderly
conduct, carrying an ancient and
worthless revolver While under the
soothing influence of the booze that
burns but the chief rose in his might,
and declared that he would rather pay
the fine himself than have Mr. Henry,
of whom he spoke very disrespectfully,
,fs,,,, tir,er hn fai1 h
ence AS Mr.. Henry was not present,
it WAS decided that he should be over
looked and forgotten in the rush.
Messrs. Hutch and Mat Cave were
put on the gridiron and tried on the
usual charge as per the last arrest,
October g. But the city had positively
no case whatever. The evidence of the
the Caves without argument. and the
case was dismissed. 1t was shown that
they had found no booze about the Cave
esta blishment except one quart bottle
of good licker' which Mrs Cave
claimed as her own. The good quality
of the booze would prove that it was
for home consumption, as no sucn
stuff is sold in the city. The prOSecut-
ing attorney even consented to return
the goods 'sstolen" by the officers 1t
was admitted by one of the officers that
the bottle introduced as evidence was
not as full it was when turned in at
the time of the arrest, alleging that
some of the key bearers of the force
had evidently sampled it with view
of testifying to its quality.
Officers Lucas and Henderson went to
White City last night to find some
more of D. Capland's "hock stock"

night Henderson, who has been con-
Iucting the whole affair, has been very
-uccessful capturing the thief with
Of 10 n a
coating other consignments gotten rid
Of by the burglar.
