Accuses SalOon-keeper of
Knocking Him Down and
Taking Money for Drinks

Patrick Mcclure, proprietor of a sa-
loon at 147 Mulberry street. was ar
raigned before Judge Hahn today in
the First Criminal Court charged with
assault and battery, preferred by
Daniel B. Swayze. of 1853 Mulberry
street, but owing TO the absence of
witnesses Judge Hahn adjourned the
case for one week.
According to Swayze he went into
McGuire's saloon last night and pur-
chased several rounds of drinks for
every one in the place, each round
amounting to one dollar. On the last
round before the encounter, he alleges
that Mcclure demanded $130, which
he refused to pay, and upon his re-
fusal, he further alleges that Nc
Guire leaned over the bar and knocked
him to the floor with a blow between
the eyes
The complainant, whose face showed
evidence of fight. claims that Me-
CURE then came from behind the
bar and took a 81 bill from him, Civ
ing him 20 cents in change, and then
threw him into the street
Mcguire admitted that Swayze pur-
chased several rounds of drinks at
81 each round, but that the last round
amounted to $780, and that when the
complainant refused to pay for it a
difference arose between them and
that the blows which he struck were
in self-defense. Both claimed that
they could produce witnesses to prove
their innocence, and the court decided
that it would be best to hear further
evidence ON both sides.
