salS city. some OF LQen nave peiS1Sted
in refusing to pay any heed to public
sentiment.
The consequences came Thursday.
when the grand jury returned indict-
ments against Alfred Dauer and Peter
Laway OF the Union Hall saloon and
Ben Fesenmaier OF the Star Hall. All
three were indicted for selling liquor
to minors. To be exact. they were
charged with selling Intoxicating
beverages to Raymond Juni. Johnnie
DengEer and Willie Lampel.
Saturday morning Fesenmaier and
Laway were arraigned in open court.
They pleaded guilty, and there re-
naired but two things for Judge
Olsen to do-either remit the penalty,
Or fine them each so and costs and
50 days in jail. He did the latter.
Should either of them fail to pay the
fae, 80 days is to be added to the jail
sentence.
The case against Dauer was dis
missed on motion OF the county attor-
ney.
Paul Jauss, charged with selling
LIQUOR without license at McCleary
and also with selling to minors,
was also indicted by the grand jury
and pleaded guilty. Judge Olsen gave
him the same sentence as he had the
others and it almost set the man be-
side himself. On being taken to Jail
to serve out his sentence he begged OF
the bailif to get him strychnine with
which to make an end to all his shame
and misery
Thirty days in jail and a fine OF
$50 is by no means a light sentence,
but unfortunately there is more that
goes with 1t. For instance one section
ef the code says that upon any con-
yiction for violation OF any law or
ordinance relating to the sale OF
liquor or the conduct Of drinking pla-
ees, or upon any Judgment forfeiting
q license bond, the court shall cause
to be fled with the clerk OF the board
or council, having power to issue a
license in the place for which such
Incense was issued, a certificate show
ing the offence for which conviction
was had or judgment rendered.
The law then goes on to provide
thas ''any license issued to AM
person, who within one year next pre-
aeding the issue thereof has been con
victed of violating any law or ordl
nance regarding the sale of liquor OF
sonduct of drinking places, or whose
license bond has been declared for
feited, shall be void and sales there
nnder illegal"
It likewise prescribes that ian.
member OF the county board OR NUM-
sipal council who shall knowingi..
vote in favor of granting any illega
license for the sale of intoxicatin!
liquor Or who being present shall fai
20 vote against it, and any office
knowingly signing or issuing an
such illegal license, shall be guilty c
a misdemeanor.
There is still another section pre-
vIdi2g that every license shall becom
void upon the conviction OF the L
sensee Of selling Or furnishing intox
eating liquor to minor, habitus
srunkard, spendthrift Or improTider
persou, after the notice forbidden
such sale, but question has been raj:
sd as to just what construction is
be placed on the clause relative I
s'notice."
