EXCISE BOARD MAY ACT
IN CASE OF ANDERSEN
Saloonkeeper's Hearing on Four
Charges is Now Set for Mon
day Morning.

Andrew Andersen, proprietor of a
saloon at 761 State street, who was
arraigned in the police court yester-
day morning charged with selling
liquor to three minors and for Sun
day selling, has retained the services
of Joseph E. Stricken to defend him
at hearing which will be held Mon
day morning. Andersen was ar
raigned on four charges yesterday
morning and as he pleaded not gull
ty the hearing was adjourned until
this morning.
Andersen appeared at about $50
O'Clock this morning and asked for
an adjournment. He said he had not
conferred with his lawyer, so the re-
corder set the case for Monday
morning.
The outcome of the case is awaited
with interest as this is the first time
that saloonkeeper has been ar
raigned on four different charges. 1t
is rumored that the excise board is
investigating the matter and the ul-
innate result may be that his license
will be revoked if he is found guilty
of the four offenses.

DOG CATCHER INSTEAD
OF SHOOTING METHOD.
Mayor and Chief of Police Favor Inn
pounding, Doing Away With
Slaughter by Police.

During the past few years the
stray dogs which roam the city in
large numbers have been shot by the
police, but Mayor Bollschweiler
thinks that it would be better plan
to have a dog catcher with wagon
collect all of the unlicensed dogs
and place them in the city pound, as
provided for in an ordinance approv-
ed July IS, 1895. The ordinance pro-
vides for the appointment of a dog
catcher who is to collect all unlicens-
ed dogs and place them in the city
pound, where they shall be kept for
five days for redemption, at the sum
of 50 for each dog If the dogs are
not redeemed within that time they
are to be killed. The dog catcher is
allowed fifty cents for each dog
caught.
The mayor thinks this plan much
better than having the police shoot
them, as it not only does away with
the nuisance of shooting the dogs,
but brings money to the city's cof-
fers.
Mayor Bollschweiler has conferred
with Chief Burke on the matter and
a suitable dog catcher is being sought
for. The matter will probably be
brought up by the mayor at the next
council meeting.

H0MA GETS DIVORCE
FROM FAITHLESS WIFE

George Homa, of this city, was
granted divorce yesterday from his
wife Ilona by the Court of Chancery.
Joseph E. Stricken represented the
applicant. The papers in the case
were filed last August The decree
was advised by Vice Chancellor Gar
rison
The application was filed on the
grounds that Homa's wife had de-
serted him and, accompanied by her
lover, sailed for Europe.
According to Homa's story he and
Ilona were married in 1903 and for
six months lived happily together. One
night he says he came home a little
earlier than usual and saw a drama
that was being played by his wife
and another man. Homa says he
rushed into the house and demanded
an explanation. This caused his wife
to become so offended that she i'm
mediately left him. Later it was
learned that she was in the old coun-
try and was supposed to be in COM
pany with the correspondent.
After waiting in vain for his
spouse to return, Homa secured a
lawyer and at once made application
for divorce.
