NO WALNUT HILL LICENSE
Gurley Makes strong Plea for saloon,
but Petition Of Citixens
Prevails.

The Mercer-Broatch police board, at its
meeting last night, had to grant the petit
tion Of several hundred Walnut Hill resi-
dents and turn down the application OF the
Krug Brewing company for a permit to
open a saloon at Fortieth and Hamilton
streets, despite the fact that the beer max
ers had the ~shrewdness to retain w. f.
Gurley, one OF MERGERS chief boosters, to
present their case. Mr. Gurley made a
long and spirited plea for the license, but
the members Of the board evidently con-
sidered It unwise to ny in the face OF the
whole Walnut Hill district, and therefore
there will be nc saloon in the vicinity OF
Fortieth and Hamilton for the time being.
A resolution was adopted whereby w.
". Cox, formerly q captain Of the police
department, who was dismissed from the
service December 10, 1898, on a charge of
cowardice, after g thorough hearing, was
reinstated and allowed to resign, his resig-
nation to take effect from the time Of dis
missal.
