LICENSE REVOKED
BY CITY COUNCIL
Violation of Ordinance Puts the
BrOughtOn Bar Out of
Business.
SPEEDY HEARING IS HAD,
WITH NO TECHNlCALlTlES
There Also Is a Hot Time Over
the Outlet Sewer Pipe
Matter.

Summary and retTibutive Justice for
selling liquor on Sunday was dealt out
to the Broughton bar. l46 West Second
South street. by tho city council Mon
day night. In a speedy trial. IN which
legal technicaliues cut lIttlo figure, the
saloon proprietor was found guilty and
the license revoked.
The trial developed the fact that al
though the license was held by the Cal-
foTnia Wine company, isaac Noon, pro
prietor man named Page operated the
bar under Il. Page took over the license
from Edward Z. Broughton, and Brough-
ron !n turn from the Wagener Brewing
company. The license, which covered
both Woolf's wholesale and Pages re-
tail trade. was taken out In Woolf' g
name and only $1,000 year was paid Tor
u. thereby getting the better OF the city
by $500, which the saloon really should
have paid. Apparently there was no
intention on Wooits part 10 beat the CITY
and it was the sense oE the council that
he be refunded his wholesale license
but Page gets no refund.
Delay Is Asked.
Frank Hoffman appeared for Page and
pleaded for time in which 20 present evl5
dence, bat the council was IN no MOOD

tlmony of Detectives Schulze ana
men drinking whiskey in the place on
Sunday, the license was revoked and
resolution adopted not 10 grant another
license for that place Tithin IN, SIX momsNs "nnoE
tune time 10 cali up his amended Or
dinance requiring the applicant Tor a
liquor license TO make oath that he con-
trolls the lease on the premises and owns
The fixtures but, in the heated discus
sion, he Jailed TO get IL out OF commit
