 John Clarkin pleaded not guilty to keeping open his saloon at 1SS Bald win street Sunday evening and dis pensing liquor at the same time. He was defended by Judge Lowe. Officer Walsh testified that he heard noise in the saloon and saw three men and a woman inside. He heard the jingling of glasses and the noise of moving chairs or tables, he also heard noises in the cellar. The officer had a candle lighted, but he did not see anyone in the cellar, but was confident he heard noises there. It was about n: 80 when they first heard the noises and about 12:3O when they investigated. It. turned out that the building contains six families and the ground floor is occupied by two stores. Officer Hayes saw two men in the cellar. He did not know how they got there but he was positive he saw them there There could be no mistake about that There was no defense and fine of $15 and costs on each count was imposed.
 A case against Henry Kane and James Vickers, stage hands at Jacques theater, for boycotting, was continued to m o'clock. The com plainants, Harry Richards and his wife, testified that they put up at the Exchange hotel week ago Monday upon coming to town for two weeks engagement at the Jacques and that when they went to the theater the de- fendants told them it would be better for them to go to the Broadway as the Exchange was boycotted because some scabs boarded there. In consequenca of this the Richards did go to to the Broadway, though they very much dis liked to do so because they were great friends of MT Pond who runs the Exchange. When they told MT Pond they were going, he was very angry and wanted the defendants ar- rested then, but compliments prevail ed upon him to let the matter go and they had supposed there was nothing more to 1t. They are playing in Derby this week. Comp1ainants belong to the Theater Mechanics association. Going into the details of the matter Richards said they were asked by the defendants if they were not for labor and they said they were. The evidence or the defendants was to the effect that they ask all performers where they are boarding in order to be able to find them if message comes for them to the theater. And 1t always hap- pens that strange performers ask the stage hands which are the good hotels. When Richards told Kane he was stay ing at the Exchange Kane merely said huh" whereupon Richards asked him what was up, and if the hotel was bad. To which Kane replied s'that it was very bad. Every performer kicks about it because the feed is very bad! There was quite a crowd on the stage ana some one said something about the Exchange being boycotted. He made no threats nor offered any ad- vice. but Mrs Richards said she was for labor every time and was herself an organizer of the T. M. A. Vickers did not seem to be as prominent in the matter as Kane.
 Each was fined $20 and costs. An appeal to the district court was taken.
