FLOWER POTS DISMISSED.
TROUBLE BROUGHT ON BY LOVE
FOR FLOWERS.
THE CASE WAS PULLED DOWN

One Of Three Lid Cases Brought Into
court-A Saloon Where the Win
dows Must be Washed to Keep the
Lid From Acting Up.
The Flower pot" case against Emil
Koehn has been dismissed, the con
tention between Koehn and the city
administration over the blossoms
having been Settled out of court"
The case against Koehn was one OF
the three lid" cases brought before
Judge Eiseley. Koehn was accused
of having flowers and flower pots in his
window there by obstructing some of
the view from without and fracturing
somewhat the open bar space Of the re.
cent lid order.
Can a mans love for flowers get
him into trouble? Koehn's did.
Koehn said that he pulled the flow.
|ers away when the lid dropped on.
Later he saw his plants willing and
noticed flowers in two other saloon
windows so he pushed his own plants
back into the sun light. But Chief
Flynn said that Koehns flowers were
too big.
1t was Chief Flynn who certified that
his view into the Koehn saloon was
INSTRUCTED by the plants. Koehn's
window happens to be one of the high
est in town and when Koehn and his
attorney, Jack Koenigstein, appeared
in court late Thursday afternoon
Koenigstein Directing to Flynn COM
planning. The attorney insisted that
the chief couldn't see into the win
dow anyway and consequently his view
wasn't INSTRUCTED Flynn maintained
however that by mounting the Koenig-
stein building across the street he
could see into the building and then
the flowers doomed up big.
Koenigstein's point never came be-
fore the court because Mayor Durland
agreed to let Attorney Hazen dismiss
the case at Koehn's expense. The
minimum fine was $25 and it was said
that Koehn not only intended to curb
his fondness for floral display but that
his offense had been largely unintent-
ial.
1t is said that the city authorities
