V. Hubbell to the chair to represent the business men. Mr. Berwick made a powerful plea for "bw and order" and very freely the expressed his contempt for " He said the principal before the meeting was the case of Clark Kesler, in not refusing to admit them to his picture show. He said that Kesler was to be given a fair trial and that he would call upon H. E. Bowman to act as Judge in the case, and those present would constitute the jury. Mr. Kesler took his place at the bar and Mr. Walt Harris was called as the first witness. Mr. Harris testified that he told Kesler that there were "scabs" in the picture show and Mr. Kesler told him, "perhaps so, but he could not go in and get them and throw them ,out; and that he would not have his place of business run by such agitators as Chas" Hollis, Ben Sedgwick Sam Barwick and the Carter boys land others Ben Sedgwick was the next witness He testified a good deal along the same line. Hollis, without being put on, the stand, created some excitement by telling how old he was. Kesler practically admitted all the evidence, except he denied using name. This concluded the evidence. George Jefferson made a short 'lk,revicwing events, and eonckided- by asJing'iCthe shop crafts wens tirely right in that no authorized "ommittce from the shopmen had ever called on Mr. Kesler, or in fact sny of the business men of the town and discussed the matter. Mr. Kesler was asked to make a statement and ho agreed to abide by the action of a majority 'of the merchants of the town on the question. The fact was brought out that if a person 1 ought a ticket to the picture show and went inside and behaved himself, the proprietor could not put him out, nor would they demand him removed. Ernest Crandall Tioved that the case against Mr Kesler be dismissed. This motion prevailed and Mr. Barwick declaimed the boycott raised, nnd instructed all present to spread the word. Some discussion followed and the meeting adjourned. The following business men were present at the meeting. O. F. Hubbell. J. Blumburg. Jos R. Murdock. Lee Erickson. Chns. Hollis. Jo. Kinney.
