No DRUNK CASES
IN CITY COURT
City Passes Through First
Night of Dry Era With
out MiShap.

South Bend passed through its
first day and evening of the new
dry era without mishap. Not a
drunk charge appeared on the city
court docket Thursday morning,
which is said to speak well for the
temperance drinks that are being
sold by the so or 20 erstwhile sa-
looms of the city that are remain
ing open at their old stands.
The police Wednesday night were
particularly 0E the lookout for in
toxicated persons, but they didn't
find any. While many of the sa-
looms in the west and south ends
of the city were open Wednesday
night, as we'll as throughout the
day. there was a complete absence
of John Barleycorn in any form.
Near beer and other soft drinks
that are to take the place of the
real intOxicant seemed TO be in fav-
or among many, but they failed to
supply the kick that is necessary to
land the drinker at the police sta
ton.
Few of the down town saloons are
open, the prOprietors evidently hav-
ing decided to await the decision OF
the supreme court in regard to the
constitutionality of the dry" law
which went into effect at II o'clock
Tuesday night.
According to Chief of Police Kline
a close watch is being kept by the
police for violations of the blind
tiger law. So far no complaints
have reached police headquarters in
regard to the violation of this law.
