MlEISSNER SAYS
ION WITH DANCE"
Zeihen Charges Him With
Assault and Battery on
Night of Raid.
zEIHEN IN COURT
Peter Zeihen This Morning Is
Charged with Destroy
ing Evidence.

Police Sergeant Emil F. Meissner
arrested himself late Monday after
noon; he arrested himself and brought
himself into court. The charge was
assault and battery, preferred against
him on the complaint of Henry Zeihen,
bartender at the saloon at 156 Park
street, which, although run under a
permit issued to Earl Kapplin, is
known az "Pete Zeihen's place." And
this morning there was still another
angle to the case when Peter Zeihen
and Henry Zeihen were both brought
into court on Meissner's complaint.
There was no one else in the court
room when the tall police sergeant
came in and laid a warrant on the
bench before the judge. Judge Slater
looked at the warrant and looked at
the sergeant. For many a time he
had brought in other defendants, but
never himself in, answer to a charge.

The police sergeant did not send
for an attorney at that moment Ell

to the charge, and was placed under
bonds of $25 for appearance in court

he took it with dash of sauce, en-
joying the novel experience of being
ARRESTED"
"This is just where the fun be-
gins" he said nonchalantly.
The warrant against Meissner was
the result of raid made by him at
the saloon at 1876 Park street last Sat-
urday night when he found the place
running "wide open," according to his
own story, with "highballs" on the
bar, and Peter Zeihen and Henry lei
hen serving customers as fast as they
were able from their position behind
the bar.
Sergeant Meissner said that he had
made the raid in the only way that
raid on such a place can be made,
with "a rush, and without any of the
Alphonse-and CASTOR preliminaries of a
Spanish courtier, but outside of that
he insisted that he had not done any
thing more than the occasion called

had pursued Henry Zeihen when the
latter was trying to get away.
This morning Peter Zeihen was
brought into court on the charge of
destroying evidence during raid, on
the complaint of Sergeant Meissner.
Henry Zeihen, Peters helper and rel
ative, was brought into court on
similar charge. Both pleaded not
guilty, and their cases were set for
preliminary hearing under bonds of
$500. each.
This is the second case against
Henry Zeihen following the raid.
Monday he pleaded not guilty in the
municipal court to the charge of un-
lawful possession of moonshine and
was placed under bonds of $500 on
that charge. When Sergeant Meiss-
ler and Detective Tusler pursued
Henry Zeihen they found bottle of

Another question disturbs the dis

harm to the remaining twin? For a

Evelyn wherever she went. Perhaps
they still are: the girl does not know

Chippewa Dam Case

Madison, Wis :. The Wiscon-

thority by the state supreme court to-
day to pass upon the lease of the
Chippewa Power company's dam in the
Chippewa Falls at Jim Falls.

cause it never had furnished utility
service to the public from the dam.
For this reason, the court ruled that

"The deck steward seemed slightly ner-

de la Falaise de la Coudraye, in their deck

But the worst was yet to come. Cohen,

to obtain a stay of proceedings 30 that

Miss Swanson's sworn statement says,

"Mr. Cohen never served any subpoena

Mr.. Richard j. Mackay, of Miss Swan

that Cohen did not serve his client at all,
and, furthermore, that it is all plan for
Miss Janet Beecher to get publicity, some
thing that Miss Swanson does not desire
at all.

that Cohen did not get near enough to
Miss Swanson to serve her and that the
