LICENSE is REVOKED
Empire 5ottIins Works Deprived Of
Authority to Conduct a Saloon
in Moorhead.

The Empire Bottling Works Co, was
deprived of the authority to conduct
a saloon in Moornead by the city coun-
Gil at an adjourned meeting held last
night for the purpose Of hearing the
matter, in other words the license held
by the company was revoked and the
place will be closed up.
The saloon. located near the south
bridge, was leased to two parties, one
A. G. Croyther, who was convicted a
week Or two ago for violation of the
Sunday law and pursuant to the con-
viction 1t was reported in the regular
way to the city council. H. Wilke,
the owner of the bottling works ana
license, was regularly cited to appear
before the council and show cause
why the license should not be revoked
in accordance with the ordinance.
City Attorney Witherow represented
the city and the defendant. Wilk, was
represented by Attorney Dosland. An
interesting point in the arguments was
the liability OF the leasor. The council
by it's decision to revoke the license
held that the real owner of the license
was responsible to the city for the OBJ
servance of all the conditions embod-
led in the authority to conduct a sa-
loon. The motion Of the mayor to re-
woke was unanimously agreed to.
The hearing as to Magnuson Bros,
who were fined for violation of the
Sunday law, last Saturday by Justice
MaHoy, was set for May 10.
o. e. Clayton, Ole Martinson and
Oscar Johnson were nominated and
elected members Of the Moorhead park
board.
Pursuant to bids submitted by the
three banks in the city. The institu-
tions will pay the the city 2 per cent
