Lost His Saloon by Trick Wager in Newark
New York reports a Democratic constable candidate Mortis Gelb who owned a saloon at 169 Ferry Street bet his license against $100 with Joseph Magee. If Harrigan won sheriff, Magee would take Gelb’s saloon. Gelb says he hasn’t lost his license yet, while Magee notes it would be illegal for a constable to run a saloon.
