in keeping with his promise when he
took charge of the office. he secured a
speedy trial and disposed Of the case in
short order; in fact. only eighgteen days
elapsed from the cornnission of the
crime to the conviction
Samuel P. Exnicios. proprietor of a
dance hall on Ibervil1e, between Nillere
and Robertson streets, was the party
charged with the misdemeanor, and he
was found guilty by Judge Baker The
specific charge was for having on the
4th Of January had musical instruments
in a bar room The instruments were
such as were used by the negro band
who furnished music for dancing in a
kind of hall or pavilion adjoining the
bar room. with which it was connected
The State proved that this dance hall
was an ad ,mCt of the bar room and was
connected with it through an open door
The front end of the dance hall in which
were several doors was about the place
where the rear end of the saloon was,
and doors opened from the side of the
bar room into garden upon which the
entrance door of the dance hall opened
also. There was also door opening
directly into the saloon.
The defense sought to prove that the
dance hall and the bar room occupied
separate buildings and that therefore the
charge that there were musical instru-
ments in the bar room was not s,Is-
tained The court. however, thought
differently and found Exricios guilty.
Judge Baker remarking when he gave
his opinion, that there was no doubt in
his mind but that the dance hall was
operated as an adjunct to the bar room.
and that while the bar room and dance
hall were in separate rooms. this was
at best but an evasion of the law He
found Exnicios guilty and discharged
him on bond to appear for sentence
when notified.
The penalty prescribed is a fine of not
less than $50 and no more than $780, or
imprisonment of not more than two

BOSSIER CITY
License May Be Sought for Saloon
Who Could Grant it?

There is some talk of saloon being
opened in Bossier City 1t is claimed
that the prohibition election of 1899 is
illegal on some technicality. The Par
ish of Bossier is prohibition Assuming
that the contention is fact, to whom
could application for license be made
and who could issue the license?
If the prohibition election of 1899 be
illegal, which is questioned, legal pro-
ceedings would be necessary before such
conclusion and decision could hold
good in law.
And if the election be illegal another
election could be held within sixty or
ninety days when majority over
whelming would decide and reaffirm the
will of the people by sustaining prohi-
bition.
1t is safe to say that some time will
elapse before there is operated another
saloon in Bossier. if ever.

little. If any. attention was given to this
