TAKEN FOR ROBBER.
BUT PROVES ALIBl
Visitor to Saltair Questioned by Sheriff
Smith; Establishes limo
cence.

Because his face appeared to be
badly pitted by smallpox and in gen
eral appearance he answered to the de-
scription of the holdup who robbed the
State Bank of Rigby, at Rigby, Idaho,
last Tuesday, visitor to Saltafr was
caused some embarrassment yesterday
until he established an alibi.
The man IS appearance was noticed
by a special deputy at the resort, who
telephoned to Sheriff Smith. Sheriff
Smith and Deputy Sheriff Schettler met
the Saltair train on which the visitor
returned at Sixth West street. They
located the suspected man and invited
him to account for himself. This he
did after some little difficulty.
The scars on the mans face were
found, upon close examination, to have
been caused by burns. He explained
that they were received while employ
ed in foundry. The name of the man
is withheld by Sheriff Smith because of
the fact that the sheriff became con-
vinced that suspicion had been misdl-
rected toward him.

clared void, as having been rendered i'm

Holmes sued for a mandate compelling
the city to grant him license and for
an injunction to prevent the police from

He challenged the constitutIonality OF
the ordinance passed by the city com
mission May 16 1912.
The district court ordered the license
