GRAND JURY PUT
Lid ON in DAWSON
DRUG STORES AND ALL OTHER
PLACES CLOSED UNDER SUM-
DAY LAW ENFORCEMENT.

The lid in Dawson, where previous
ly a cold drink and a cigar could be
obtained until 10 o'clock, was clamp
ed on tight Sunday. Not even drink
of ice water could be had.
1t was a state of affairs unusual in
Dawson, and was brought about by
action of the grand jury which was
in session last week. In his charge
to that body Judge Worrill stated
that he had been requested to call
especial attention to lack of Sun
day observance and the violation of
law by opening places of business on
the Sabbath.
The result was that all proprietors
of drug stores, soft drink dispensers
and others who had made it prac-
tice to sell these wares on Sunday
were called before the grand jury.
No indictments were returned, how
ever, but all were given warning not
to hereafter open their places of bus
mess on Sunday.
When they strolled down town
Sunday and found the state of af-
fairs which existed the Coca-Cola
Slippers and devotees of Lady Nico-
tine felt disgust that cannot be ex-
pressed in words. They were severe
in their denunciation of "blue laws"
in general, and particularly their en-
forcement in Dawson.
