Higgios, the Saloon Man, Suffers a Stort Corfiaement, Agnain Arrested on Complaint of the Marshal aud Released on Bail ~What He Says Regard- ing the Matter, Saturday night and Sunday developed tome more Incidents in the matter of the order closing ssloons at midoight, At midnight Saturday night the bar.room of Mr. O. 8. Higgins closed as usual, and, a8 usual, his curtains remained tightly closed. Thls belng observed by Marshal Cummings, a warrant for Higgine' arrest was placed in the handa of an officer, and about 1 o'clock Sundsy mornlng it was served on that gentleman. Mr. Higglne was apprehended as he was leaving his place of butiness, and although at first he objected to golng to police headquarters, he finally submitted, and with a number of friends, accompaniod the officer, Ar- riving at the city jall, Marshal Cummings ordered Higgins placed in a cell. This move ellcited from Hliggins a strong protest, and he characterizad the proceedings as an ontrage and persecu- tlon. He was forced to submit, however, and was placed behind the bars. A frlend immedlatoly proceeded to the real- dence of Judge Stenberg, and in a short time returned with an order from that officlal to haye Mr. Higgina released on farnishing a bond for $25 for his appear- ance for trial. Thls was immediately forthcoming, and after a half hour’s In- carceration Mr. Higgins was agaln a free + | man. The complaint on which the arrest was made was for keeping his curtains closed As they were again closed Saturdsy night, still a third war- rant was lssued on complalnt of the mar- shal, which was rerved Sunday morning Mr. Higgine again appesred at head- quartera snd was agaln released on $26 ball, STATEMENT. A reporter for the Bee approached Mr. Higgloa last night, and galned from bim a etutement of his eide of the affair. “In the first place,” he sald, *‘this whole affalr is a persecutlon. Cummings, you know, was appointed to his presont poeition by Chase, snd ever since that timo he has eeen fit, for pecullar reasons, to treat me in a wrong manner. Why, oue of his very first officlal acts was to try to arreet four of the proprletors of | gambling houses, leaving ths fifth one free. This act in arresting me for keep- Ing my curtains shut is ontirely In keep- ing with the policy of persecution which he has pursued all the way through. Here Is the history of the case all the way through: “‘Marshal Cummings arrested me on Friday night for keeplng my curtains down after 12 o’clock Thursday night. He took me up to jail, and I had a short talk with Judge Stenberg, who agreed to rolease me on my own recognlzance, on condition that I should come up in the woraing avd make arrangements for my trial. I was about to start away when Cammings called me back and seked ma where I was going. I told him that Judge Stenberg had agreed to take my personal recognizince until morning. ‘By G—,” he exclaimed, ‘I won’t have that. You must give bonds to-vight, or behind the bara you go.’ Then he and the judge went into a long and heated dispute, acd the upshot was that I was allowed to go, on personal recognizance. “On Satarday, Marshal Cummings procured another warrant for my ‘arrest, keeping it in his pocket ths entire even- ing,—though he could eatily have found me at my place of business—antll about 1 o'clock Sunday morning when he turned it over to a pollcoman with Instructions to serve it upon me. I was taken up to the jall, where, after a short time, I was released by order of Jadge Stenberg. This morning as I was golng from home down to my place of buriuess, I was ; | again mel by a policeman, and the same process of arrest and roleaso was gome through with, because I did not have my cartains pulled up after 12 o'clock last night.” “Now, I want to say right here that tince Mayor Boyd has {ssued his order I have not kept my bar runnlog after mid- night, I have not allowed any une to 0 |eutor the place except my bartenders, and have not even gone there myself after tho closlng hour. All this talk about my transterring my bar to the up- per rooms after midnight, and selling drioks freely there, Is not true. I do sell bottled goods with the meal orders from bill of fare, and I hava baen ad- vised by my attorneys that I have a per- fect right to do this, Otherwlse 1 have eold no liquor after midnight eince the new order. WIth regard to keeping my curtalvs down, I am advised to do this by the best legal authorities in Omaha; even the msyor told the reporter for your paper that he belleved 1 had a perfect right to do thls, I have no de- sire to evade the law in this matter, and the judge or jury ehsll decide me in the wrong, Iam williog to put up my car- taine, Buf I do object to the persecut- ing, buli-dozlng policy of Marshal Cum- min, have been to a good deal of ex- penee to put up my establishment, and [ think I ovght to be allowed 1o run it ac cording to business methods, without be- ing subject to persecution.” THE SUNDAY CLOSING, In obedience to the msyor's order, all of the saloons made a show of closing yeaterday, but it was only a show. As much liquor was sold as usual, s nd ace: to the placos was easy. The only change from former custows was in keeping tte doors cloeed instead of wide open and in poartially drawing the curtains. The windows of Higgins' bar room were again obscured at midnight, and it is prcbable that he will again be arrested this morning, SIGNIFICANT FACTS, In glancing over the reglster at the police court Jast night, the Ber man dls- covered the fcllowing {teme, which have coneiderable significanceswhen 1t 18 ro- membered that the saloons were closed lawst Saturday night at midnight for the first tlme: Prlsoners for broskfast:—Sunday, August 16, none; Sunday, August 9, 10 i{aud.y, July 26, 22; Sunday, July 19, A Eult for Libel, In the district court Saturday Jullus Harthum Instltuted suit agsinet Henry Pundt, J, F, Lehmap, John I.

Noarly all the ealoons of the clty were visited in the rounds, and it {s said that at one place the young blcods spent $100 in cham- pagne and clgars, treating everybody who came in. A prominent malson de jole in the lowerend of town was visited and a wine bill of $100 rolled up and paid by the young noblemen delighted the hsart of the presiding genius of the houss. After visltiog theroad houses and other places wkhere eports generally seek con- genial companions, the trlo of Englls dudes landed In the central part of town, rather late In the afteracon, feeling full and happy, having spent altogether over 8500, as ‘hey claimed, durlng the day. They sat down to asupper in a restanrant, and were rap/dly satlsfylng the inner man with l'quid and solid delicacles, when the colored walter by an unlucky mishap, let fall a goblet of water on one of them, George P. Evans by name. “Eh! blarst It, yo bloody niggah, what ah yo dolrg? What dye mean by spilllog watah ovah a gentleman!” howled the nobleman, tarning livid with rage He jumped up and started at onca to pum- me! the inottensive waiter and was jolued in tho operalicn by his friends. The waller stood his ground until a policeman arrived, and aftor a tough ecofil arrosted the enrsged Eoglishman and csrrled him, notwithstanding hisearneet protestativns, up to the jail. Hls two frlends bestirred themselves and got Judge Stenbarg to coms up to tho jail. ““Hand ’ow much ball d’ye wani, dea® judge?” inquired one of the noblemen. “Couldn’c Hi glve you $100 to happeah hin tha mawning!” The judge told him that §25 would be encugh and the Insulted Briton “put up” ard wa3s released, When Judge Stenberg explained to him that if he hadn’t struck the policeman his punishment would have been lighter, Evans broke ont, *‘Eh, but deah fellah, ye know, ‘ow could Hi tell that ‘e was a bloody coostable?
