The efforts of the police department un-
der the reiterated orders of Mayor Simp-
son. to strictly enforce the law prohibiting
the sale of intoxicating liquor in the city
during Sunday resulted in the arrest yes
terday OF Arthur J. McMahon. who con-
ducts a saloon at the corner of Cameron
and Fayette streets. and his appearance
before the mayor in the police court this
morning at o'clock. The defendant en-
tered general denial to the testimony OF
Officer Mayhugh, who arrested him, and
other witnesses, which was to the effect
I that Mcmahon had sold whisky from a
bottle yesterday in the neighborhood OF
his saloon. Mayor Simpson imposed fine
/ of $50 with the equivalent Of ninety days
in Jail. but later reduced it one-half. Nc
MahOn declined to pay up and the court
ordered him sent to Jail for forty-five days.
A few months ago the corporation court
took up charges against Mcmahon of sell
ing liquor on Sunday and a fine Of $50 was
imposed. At that time Judge Barley took
occasion to say to the accused that any
further violations of the law would, upon
conviction, result in the withdrawal of his
license by the court
The Mayors Court.
A long docket was disposed Of by Mayor
Simpson this morning at o'clock in the
police court. Jerry Dorsey, colored, had
to pay So for assaulting Nellie Brooks. also
colored and the latter was assessed the
same amount for disorderly conduct and
fighting Nellie's name was again found
on the docket, and this time as complainant
against Deale johnson. colored, whom she
charged with assaulting her. but the charge
1,1N., yITrt1 II Ir,ry, II
was required to deposit IS. The same ex-
action was made in the cases of James
Wade, charged with being drunk and dis
orderly. and Otto Busth, charged with rid
ing his horse on the sidewalk Richard
Kuhn was also charged with riding on the
pavement, and during the hearing of the
case the testimony of one of the witnesses
SO irritated George Kuhn son of the ac-
cused, that he resorted to voluble personal
tiles Mayor Simpson at once took cogn1-
zance of the offense against the dignity of
the court and ordered Kuhn, junior, locked
up pending the deposition of S. The
senior Mr.. Kuhn was dismissed
