Monday evening when he appeared be-
fore the common council at its regular
meeting in the council chamber to ex-
plain why his license should not be
revoked. Nogly muttered something
about not selling the "moonshine" and
merely having it in "his bedroom" but
he did not satisfy the council and
upon the motion of Chairman Roberts
of the license committee, his Glass
A license was revoked and he was
ordered to close up shop.
At the former meeting of the coun-
Gil, Chief of Police Thad Logan filed a
request that formal action be taken to

keeping with this report, Nogly had
been summoned to appear before the

rupted Chairman Roberts. You were
found guilty according to the rec
ords Of selling liquor and didn't you
pay the fne?"

his place of business.
Nogly hardly realized what had hap

of the council chamber.

Country club, during the time of the
recent state golf tournament, failed to
materialize Alderman Palgren, if
he had ever had any idea of bringing it
before the council, did not make amy
mention of it before his colleagues
Prior to the council meeting, Alder
man Palmgren met Constable Scholey
in the lobby of the city hall and the
meeting was the cause for rather
serious tilt between the two men.
IF you knew so much about illegal
liquor transactions at the Country club
at that time, why didn't you take the
law into your hands and make some
arrests % dueried Constable Scholey,
smarting under the criticism voiced by
the second war alderman in his note
