H. r. Giller, Mike Morsal, Alex.
Gelmstedt and George Reyes appear
ed before the Board relative to the
complaints against Sam Butulia of
Wabuska, in regard to the conduct of
the Nv Place saloon. The matter was
| canvassed to some extent and pretty
strong case was made out against
Butula, especially in view of the fact
that his Wabuska saloon has been
often the subject of complaint, as well
as the saloon he conducted formerly
at Ludwig, where he was a constant
annoyance to the officers and citizens.
Bonito Rodriguez filed an affidavit,
the language of which precludes its
publications. it is a spicy document
but of nature to have little weight
with the Commissioners, who were
both amused and Disguised at the
affidavit, and Influenced by it not at
all Bonito Rodriguez is very peni-
tent hombre, indeed, for he recounts
his conduct in My Place on divers oc-
casions in manner most frank. No
one doubts the truth of Bonito's allie
cations, but his sincerity in testitying
against Butulia is largely questioned. |
If that affidavit had been needed to
make a case against Butulia, the case
would not have been strong; 1t Just hap
pcned that til" odor of My Place had |
reached to heaven before Bonito |
Rodriguez decided to puddle around
in the slime for the edihcation of the
public, and the rhetorical satlsfac-
ton of the expert who typed the |
filth"
