the pasture and there harnessed them
with the stolen harness to the stolen

ONE CASE WHERE SALOON
Man IS NOT RESPONSIBLE

Assistant Attorney General MacdOn-
aid has advised the prosecuting attor-
ney of Clallam county against the
prosecution of a saloonkeeper in Port
Angeles on a charge of selling liquors
without proper license, because he
believes it would be an act of injustice
20 do so. With only four members of
the city council present, the license
was granted by a vote Of three to one
and duly issued. AS the law requires
four affirmative votes to grant a Ii
cense, it is charged that the license
in question is void, and that the sa-
loon keeper is liable to criminal prose-
cution. The attorney generals office
holds that the saloon keeper acted in
good faith in the matter, and that
the better way to put him out of bust
ness would be to rescind the alleged Ii
