ton, and found communication from
Mayor Meyer in the matter of the vio
lation of the liquor laws by one of the
saloons on Oct 3. He at once called on
Mayor Meyer and asked him whether
he desired criminal complaint drawn
because of the violation of the law,
and whether he desired to swear to
such complaint. Mayor Meyer replied
in the affirmative to both questions,
and Mr.. Plymat then returned to his
office and drew up the complaint. and
warrant was issued
What Warrant Charges.
The warrant charges Philip Leas with
keeping public drinking place open
on Sunday, Oct. 3. 1t was served
by Chief Pond this forenoon and Mr.
Leas was to be arraigned this after
noon.
County Attorney Plymat stated to
The Free Press that he has been ready
at all times to prepare complaints when
requested by the mayor so to do. The
law was plain, he said, that it was a
duty that devolved upon the mayor to
make the complaints and upon the
county attorney to prepare the same
upin request from the mayor and to
prosecute the cases, and he said that
he saw no reason for anyone attempt
ing to shift his responsibility in the
matter or to bubble over it, as the
provisions of the statutes permit but
one Interpretation.
Blames the Bartender.
1t appears that Mr.. Leas was alb
sent from the city on the afternoon
that officer Edwards found his saloon
open, and he states that if it was
open it was so against his wishes and
instructions. Had he known about
it he would not have permitted it but
the opening was done by the barten-
der. When Mr.. Leas' attention was
drawn to the matter he expressed great
regret at the act ion of the bar tender
Chief Fond states that Mr.. Leas' sa.
loon has given no trouble heretofore
and that on Sundays the screens III
the front windows have been raised sc
that the officers could see through
while many other saloons have not
done so.
