FIRST STEPNOW TAKENAnti Saloon Men File an Affidavit Against Joe Hartman.The anti saloon men have taken the first step in their fight on saloons, and Joe Hartman is the first man to fall under their eye. This morning G. W. Cotton filed an affidavit before M. W. Walbert, alleging that Hartman kept his saloon open on the occasion of July Fourth. The date in question was a legal holiday and it is a violation of the Nicholson law for a saloon to be open at that time.It will be remembered that during the afternoon of the Fourth, the anti saloon men got hold of the city marshal and with him made a tour of the saloons about the city. They found no places open owing to the fact that a quiet tip had gone around and all had closed. However, it is claimed that they were open earlier in the day and it is said the antis have proof which they will produce at the wlt; trial. Hartman has not ^is yet been arrested but will be at once and his trial will occur shortly.
