CHARGES Not Sustained.

In connection with the war being
waged on the "green cloth brigade" in
Bristol, the statement has gained cur
rency that Mike Dyer was implicated,
inasmuch as the gambling room was
located over MIR. Dyer's saloon. Mike
desires that his friends here should
know that he is in no way connected
with the affair, as he has nothing to do
with renting or collecting rent for the
rooms over his place of business, this
being done by one of the leading real
estate agents in Bristol. Mike says he
can always be found at his place of
business ready to serve his friends, and
obeying the law strictly.
