Fifteen men and women appeared be
fore the city commission, sitting as an
cxclsn loaril, to act as witnesses for tho
protestant In tho coso of tho application
of Ted I". Hunter," 181 Military avenue,
for a saloon license. W. C. Fraser, tho
protestant, attempted to show that Hunt
er's saloon tended to produce Immoral
conditions In a residence section of the
city
Hunter's attorney, Myron learned, I
produced witnesses to show that Hunter!
was of good moral chatactcr and that I
he had not been guilty of Improper con- i
duct personally or In tho conduct of his
saloon.
Witnesses for the protestant testified
that a policeman was seldom seen In
their neighborhood and that for as long
as three years a bluecoat has not In
vaded their vicinity.
Women said they could see tho saloon
from their residences and frequently saw
women and children go there with buck
ets and glass Jars and come away with
beer. They also testified that men fre
quented the placo on Sunday.
Ono witness said he himself had
"rushed the growler" at tho Hunter
saloon, hut thought the practice was not
proper In a neighborhood where there
were a large number of children.
Alt of tho witnesses for thft protestant
declared that colored people from tho vi
cinity of tho railroad tracks "rushed the
can" continuously during the summer
months.
