PUT MAN OUT
THE WRONG WAY

"A saloon keeper has a right to put
a drunken man out of his place OF

loon on South Heald street, South

A number Of witnesses testified that

ed, out of the saloon backward on the
night of September 4, and that Ceph-
Gus fell, breaking both bones of his
right ankle.
DR.. George Watkins said Cepheus
had been treated at the Delaware
Hospital and that an X-ray examina-
ton of his injury had been made. He
stated that it would be several weeks
before Cepheus would be able to use
his right leg. Cepheus appeared in
court on crutches.
Gibbons said that Cepheus came
into the saloon in an intoxicated con-
dition and asked for a Scent glass of
gin. Gibbons stated that Cepheus then
started to use language which was
not fit to be used in a saloon.
Il told him to cut it out or get out,
said Gibbons. He stated that Cepheus
then said that Gibbons could not put

with the result as stated. Mcmahon
denied that he put the man out back
