SALOONS AND LABOR DAY.
Sioux City Lawyer Contends That Grog
Shops Can Keep Open.


Special to Times Republican.
Sioux City, Sept. 5.-Judge Wake
field was called upon yesterday to de-
eide whether there is any legal holiday
in the state of Iowa. The assertion was
made by Wilbur Owen, attorney fol
John b. Grant, saloonkeeper, in the
trial of the Anti-Saloon Leagues appli-
cation for an injunction against him
that there was no such thing as a legal
holiday in this state.
1t was Mr.. Owens contention that IL

Keepers to close their places on the
Gays popularity considered legal holi-
days.
Grant had admitted on the witness
stand that he, with several others, was
in his saloon last Monday--Lab day
But this. Mr.. owen says, is no viola
ton of the law, because there is nc
legal holiday in Iowa. This is at least
different from the general opinion in
Sioux City, where the saloons have very
generally closed their doors on holidays
Mr.. Owen cited in support of his con-
tention the Iowa statute defining the
legal holidays. This statute states that
these days shall be legal holidays as
far as transactions in merchantable pa-
per are concerned, and stops there. Mr..
Owen claims that inasmuch as the Iowa
law makes these holidays legal only in
connection with the handling of mer-
charitable paper. that 1t can not posi-

A HUG WORTH $ls.
Otto ToIliver Fined for Hugeing a Girl
at the Carnival Grounds.

Boone. Sept. 6.-'rhursday afternoon
Justice Barrett set the price for hug
in this city at SIS. Otto Tolliver was ar
rested, charged with carrying con-
cealed weapons. Wednesday evening it
seems that Tolliver saw two pretty
girls at the carnival and went up to
them and without warning or any
thing else gave one of them a hug. She
promptly slapped him one in the face.
He tried to get another squeeze, but got
another good slap. He then pulled a
revolver and was going to have hug,
but he was stopped and arrested and
taken before Justice Barrett, where he
pleaded not guilty. After hearing the
testimony of all parties Mr.. Barrett
concluded that the man was guilty. The
question in his mind was how much to
charge for the hug, and finally after
much debating fixed the market price
at SIS. Tolliver thought it was too
much and so he was given free board
and lodging in Jail for five days.
