Kansas City, Kan, Nov. 12.-As a
means of ending the joint war here, the
Helm Brewing company has bought the
joint of Charles Knauer, at Twelfth and
Miami avenue, Armourdale. The price
paid, so it is said. was over $500. Some
say, to be exact, $720.
Sheriff Mendenhall was notified at 6

to reopen in this city. AS a consequence

The 16 included all of the Joints closed
by the sheriff and chief of police since

to Sheriff Mendenhall that Knauer's
place had been purchased and that
Knauer was satisfied. The chief said
that he had nothing in particular
against the other joint keepers. Sheriff
Mendenhall said that there were no sore
spots on him; that Knauer was the only
man he was after. Then the sheriff and
the chief of police said good by-by wire
and all bets were declared off.
The action of the brewery agents was
made in the nick of time Sheriff Men

terday and these would have been clos

this action on the part of the sheriff,
had seven joints which he intended to
close. The purchase by the brewery of
Knauers place. however, put an end to
hostiiities and all the 1ointists were no
tilted that there would be no further
trouble.
Sheriff Mendenhall is satisfied with the
result of the war between himself and
