Failure to Comply With the Law Al
legged in Each Case.

"A legal movement which, if success
full, viii. be far reaching in its effect
and which will be the direct means OF
closing six of the nineteen saloons OF
the city, was begun this morning by
County Attorney j. H. Egermayer
when he filed in the district court suits
asking for temporary and permanent
injunctions against the Clifford saloon
20 East Main street; Schulz & Wetz-
stein place. at % North Center street
and A. G. Friedrich bar at 10s West
Main street.
Should the injunction issue against
the Clifford place, it will also close the
Carl Schmidt saloon on South Second
avenue, and the Owen BARLEY place on
South Third iavenue. oboth of which
are owned by Clifford. If an injunc-
ton issues against the Schulz & Wetz-
stein saloon, it will also close the sa
loon owned by the firm in the Wood
bury building on North First avenue.
Wants Buildings Enjoined.
In each of these cases it is sought to
not only enjoin the owners and en-
ployes from engaging in the business,
but it is asked that an injunction is
sued against the buildings occupied by
the places and the owners of them
from ever allowing them to be ever
used for the sale of liquor again.
Judge Parker, upon the filing of the
petitions, fixed June 81, at a. M, as
the time for hearing the cases on the
temporary injunction. Should the
temporary injunctlons follow, the ques-
ton of permanent injunctions will be
fought out later
Alege Lack of Consent.
The allegations in all of the cases,
which are brought in the name of the
state thru the county attorney, are
practically the same.
In all three cases it is alleged that
the saloon owner has not filed wi 4
the county auditor written statement
of consent of all of the resident free
holders of property within fifty feet of
the saloon In each case. also, it is all
legged that the saloon owner did, on
January l, file such written state
ment of consent but that in each case
consent and signatures were secured
by being paid for.
In addition to this allegation, in the
cases of the Clifford and Schulz &.
Wetzstein. it is charged that minors
have been allowed in the saloon and
that intoxicating liquors have been
sold to them
