OBSERVE The LAW CLOSER
Whatever Laspses Have Occurred in
Liquor Law Heretofore Will
Not be Countenanced.
Not be C~ountenanced

One of the saloonkepeers of the
city informed The Republican that
hereafter there would he no more
violation Of the Sunday closing fea-
ture OF the liquor law: that the sa-
l~oonkeepers had agreed upon this and
that the back door entrances would
be shut as tightly as the front doors.
Fol a year or more there has been
more or less complaint that the Sun
day closing law was being violated
by the saloons, but no information
had been tiled with the proper
officers. Mayor Branson and States
Attorney %Spangler had IA conference
the other day relative 10 this matter
of Sunday opening by the back door
route and they agreed that there
should be no more of it. The saloon
keepers were also called into a COM
ference and they were made aware
of the situation in reference to Sun
day closing. Mr.. Spangler informed
them that hereafter there would be
no excuse whatever for opening a
saloon on Sunday and that the FIRST
mao who did would have to accept
the penalty Of the law.
The stand taken by the mayor and
states attorney is n that will be
