KR0NEWITTER ENTERS
GUILT PLEA IN COURT
Mishawaka SalOOnman Draws Sus-
pended Fine-Other Charges
Dismissed.

Difficulties between the city of
Mishawaka and John Kronewitter
came to an end Monday morning
when all of the cases against him
and those filed against the city by
hun were dismissed when he plead
ed guilty to a charge of selling
liquor without a license, in circuit
court. John KrOnewitter entered
pleas of guilty in both of the cases
which were brought upon grand
jury indictments and was given a
suspended sentence Of $50 in each
case. The grand jury indictment
against his brother, Charles, charg-
ing him with running a saloon with
out a license. was dismissed by
Pros. c. r. montgomery.
II is generally understood that
Kronewitter will close the saloon in
Mishawaka that has been causing
all of the trouble. Mishawaka city
officials and Kronewitter have been
fighting each other ever since the
latter was granted a county liquor
license by the county commission
ers. In spite of the action of the
commissioners the city OF Mlsha-
waka refused to grant a city permit
to Kronewitter, and he has been
operating his saloon without Ii
cense ever since.
AS a result of his pleas of guilty
Monday, two charges of violating
city ordinances were dismissed in
circuit court and a mandamus &C
ton and a suit for damages against
Mayor Ralph Gaylor, Treasurer
Harry E. Strube and Chief OF Po-
lice Thomas B. Kreiter were dis
missed in superior court. In his
mandamus suit kronewitter sought
to compel the city officials TO grant
a permit to him. and in the damage
suit he asked for $4,000 for mali
cious arrest.
Thomas w Slick sat as a special
Judge in the circuit court case.

Held Saturday Instead

Because of repeated requests that
the municipal Christmas tree cele-
bration be held Saturday evening

cided 10 advance the date. The

Saturday in place OF Monday.
The change will also make it
easier 10 have the school children

as their teachers, will be absent
from the city or participating in
some home celebration The tree
