that he and his associates had not
had time to consult an attorney and
get ready for trial.
CITY Attorney Rozelle stated that
Il the trial could not be held today,
he would rather it go over until next

iendants were willing. However.
those who filed the complaints want
ed a trial as soon as possible, and
insisted on a hearing this week. FL

granted the continuance until that
time.
The council chamber, where the
arraignment took place, was filled
with spectators. including the sew
plants filed.
MaLy people believed the saloon
keepers would plead guilty and pay
their fines and costs; but the saloon
men proved this morning by enter
ing a plea of not guilty that they
propose to fight the prosecutions.
The ministers and others interest
ed ia the prosecutions declare that
the evidence is so overwhelming that
convictions are absolutely certain.
Some Of those interested in the
prosecution believe that the saloon
men feel that If they are fined they
can induce the council to remit the
mes. There is no foundation for
such belief. If the men are found
guilty and convicted and fined, the
eily council will not interfere.
