Outside of the saloon no one could
be seen in the first room. The police
entered, crossed the room rapidly and
threw open the door into the rear
room. There was Immediately a tre-
mendous hub-bub and uproar for the
room was full of surging mob of
thirty or more. The bartender with a
glass of moonshine in his hand rushed
to the sink to destroy the evidence and
was intercepted by Meissner.
As the secretary made an attempt to
catch the glass, the bartender made a
lunge at him. Meissner held the man
from striking him and the bartender
kicked with his feet. Meanwhile 'the
big one" otherwise known as Gus,
stole up from the rear, and it would
have gone i'll with the police secretary
but for the strong arm of McCluskey
who swung around quickly enough to
'observe the rear charge. McCluskey
swung out with stout right hook, and
down went Gus.

Must Demand Intelligent Reporters.
"The war has left new set Of prob

There is nothing more pitiable than an
ignoramus reporting an intelligent

the information Of when, how ant

by two foreigners who are not Ameri

names of Constantine or "Gus" Dowga

let loose, and amidst it all the aroma
of the kicking mule. The patrons en-
braced their bottles and sought to
dance on the coppers' toes. This was
the cue for action by Cyzak and Rock
and they quickly brought the mob un-
der control.
And then it was over The evidence
was secured and the bartender and the
saloonkeper were taken into custody
and hustled into the police car while
Assistant Chief Cyzak turned out the
patrons and locked the door.

The secretary entered the car on the
invitation and sat down beside the
prisoner. IN moment the fight be-

secretary and used his nails on his
face and in the next instant sought
to grab his revolver. Dazed for an
instant by the attack, the secretary
just recovered in time to prevent his
gun being snatched and for the re-
mainder of the trip the men were held.
Angry as the police were, no counter
attack was made on the two saloon
men and they were given safe conduct
to the station where they were locked
up for safe keeping.

this morning that the committee had
recommended that no license be grant
