COMPLAINANT
IS in CUSTODY
JUDGE SULLIVAN ORDERED JURY TO
ACQUIT DEFENDENT-BANCR0FT
In CONTEMPT

The three cases filed by Deputy
District Attorney John H. Fry on ev-
idence that was to have been fur
nished by certain Palisade people,
against the managers of the three
saloons of Palisade, now out of busi-
ness, have come to grief. Two cases
resulted in verdicts of acquittal and
one case was dismissed by the prose-
cution.
The star witness against the sa-
loon men may find himself facing a
serious charge.
r. H. Bancroft, justice of the
peace at Palisade, is in contempt of
the county court
The county of Mesa has pretty
heavy expenses to stand as result
of the trials.

the evidence being very weak.
This morning William Owen, an
CHER saloon man, was arraigled on
the charge of sslling liquor to mi
nor, the alleged minor being Arthur
Reese, the star witness against each
of the three saloon managers.
jury was secured after some DIFF
ficulty. Arthur Reese told his story.
The evidence in the case was equal
ly as weak as that introduced in the
Brown case. Several Witnesses were
Introduced. The prosecution closed
its case. Then Attorney Wheeler for
the defense stated that he desired
to argue a motion.
~, The jury was excused and Attor-
ney Wheeler made a motion to have
the jury Instructed to bring in a
verdio of not guilty on the grounds
that the prosecution had made no eff
fort to introduce any evidence show
ing that the defendant, William Ow-
ems, was the owner of the saloon or
the manager. a very vital and neces-
sary piece of evidence.
The jury was recalled after noon
Then Deputy District At orney Fry
asked to be allowed to reopen the
case and introduce the evidence
showing that Owen was the manager
of the saloon. The court would not
permit this to be done, sustained AT
torney Wheeler's motion, ard YER
dict of not guilty was ordered to
be brought in by the jury and this
was done.
The defendant was then dismissed.
Mr.. Fry dismissed the case against
Jordan, the third saloonkeeper
<
Reese boy, and thus ended the three
cases.
An interesting feature of the hear
ing today was the fact that writ of
attachment vas issued for r. H. Ban
croft, who had been summoned to
appear as witness at the Owen
trial Bancroft. disregarded the sum-
mons and it is understood is off OF
a bear hunt. AS soon as possible the
writ will be served against him and
he will be brought into court and
given a chance to explain his alb
sence.
1t is stated that Bancroft had told
the Reese boy, when the latter was
brought before Bancroft on charge
of fighting, that he would be released
if he told where he purchased liquor
and that he would be sent to the
reformatory if he didn't tell. and the

Chicago, Nav 27.-The Overland

cago, Milwaukee & St. Paul system,
ran Monday night at a speed of near
ly GO miles an hour over the inter-
locking switches and past the sig

The train with its hundred pas

The train left Chicago on its long

Near Davis Junction Fireman Nash
noticed that the train was flying
across the switches and tracks at

were adverse set.
Just as the limited cleared the
tracks of another road at a crossing,
a heavy train on the latter thundered
across in the rear.
Nash, thoroughly alarmed by this

WORCESTER OYSTER GROUND

Uuder the above heading the
Baltimore Sun had a special
from Annapolis on Thursday
intended to prejudice the public
against Worcester County be-
ing exempted from the Hayman
Oyster Law. In this article the
Sun proceeds to eXtoll tn T.
values of the SinepuXent Bay
as oysteg planting waters, and
in its efforts to reflect upon the
good intentions Of some of the
men who are active in having
Worcester Comfy exempted
from the Hayman Law il at
tempts TO show that these men
are actuated by selfish motives,
because they are incorporators
of a company to cut an inlet to
salt the bay. If the Sun had
said nothing about this salt
water inlet, it would not have
attracted our thought TO the
unfairness Of its argument.
These men were persuaded by
the oystermen along Sinepux-
ent bay TO subscribe stock to
the Salt Water Inlet Company
for the purpose of reviving a
dying industry.
Not a single oyster planter
along SinepuXent Bay will this
year make expenses and most
Of them will lose the savings Of
wears. In the neighborhood Of
Girdletree, alone, the oyster
planters have lost over $50, 600
90 already this year by their
oysters dying. The reason for
this condition is not positively
known, but there is belief
strong in the minds of the
oystermen that an inlet cut
from the Atlantic Ocean TO
Sinepuxent bay will remedy the
trouble, which SO often comes
To them, by giving the oysters
the right kind of drink. With
this i'm view the business men,
professional men, and every
class of men, subscribed to the
plan, for the sole purpose of
helping out once prosperous
industry, now in a deplorable
way.
