Keater House saloon disturbance ends with arrest and missing youth
At the Keater House saloon two ladies and Officer Afowry confronted five or six youths at billiards. Fred Gustafson, under 18 and a Dispatch employee, was escorted out. Mrs Gustafson and Mrs Metzgar sought him while a warrant was issued for his absence. Thomas S. Robinson of the saloon appeared in court with a May 14 continuation. The case invokes liquor ordinance section 4 on billiards and games and the grand jury later indicted several for burglary and forgery with a plan for a separate juvenile jail wing.
