The "LID" WAS
TILTED SUNDAY
MoNsoN AND HIS BAR
TENDER ARE UNDER ARREST
CHARGED WITH SELLING L.
oUoR ON SUNDAY - BOOTLEG
GERS CAUSE DOWNFALL.

Out Of the arrest of the two gay and
festive bootleggers by the police yes
terday. has arisen some trouble for
Andrew w. Monson, a saloonkeeper
on Fourth street south, near First ave.
nue., and his bartender, Gus Peterson,
both of whom were arrested this after
noon at the instance Of the city attor-
ney. on q charge OF selling and dis
pensing Intoxicating liquors on Sun
day. The offense is said to have been
committed yesterday afternoon. Two
witnesses are held at police head
quarters and one OF them will testify
that he was supplied with funds by a
party from Casselton, N. D., who ar
ranged with him to go and buy two
TASKS of whisky. both Of which were
found on the person OF the witness and
have been confiscated. One witness
also alleges that he bought two drinks
and in all made three visits yesterday
to the saloon in question
City Attorney Witherow says he is
going after the case with all the power
at his disposal. He is perturbed at
certain insinuations recently made that
the "Moorhead lid" has become quite
loose with frequent Tits, a reflection
the administration does not enjoy. as
every effort possible is being made to
strictly enforce not only the Sunday
law but the closing law on weekdays
and he believes there are few If any
violations, as eSe risk has become too
serious. That there are saloonmen
who viii venture the risk is we'll known
but the illegal selling is done so adroit-
ly that it is very difficult to estab-
lish the selling and obtain convicting
evidence. One man was arrested yes
terday who had quart bottle of whis-
ky sticking out Of his hip pocket and
the presumption was that it was
bought yesterday. but today he was able
to produce positive evidence that the
stuff was sold to him Saturday eve-
ming. ~
At 8 o'clock this afternoon Gus
Peterson, the bartender, was arraign-
ed before Justice Wade and was fined
$50 and costs. He will appeal the
case to the district court.

stock Market.

New York, Aug. 2S.-The stock
market at present is practically gov
erner by the movements in Union and
Southern Pacific. The quick changes
in the latter issues has caused many
TO take a traders position which has
developed into a great deal of iIregu-
iarity at times. Late in the after
noon the market showed good rallying
power with practically everything on
the list selling at the best prices Of the
session. There was very little resis-
tance' to the upturn indicating the
nervousness of the short interest and
that liquidation had run it's course,
The easy manner in which prices re-
covered from the breaks shows plain
ly in our opinion that the recent sell
ing has not come from the big inter
ests. We look for a higher market
and advise purchasing on moderate
reactions. Chas. =. Lewis s. Co.
