Charges Against Saloon Man in Walla Walla Case
Prosecuting Attorney Cain filed information against N. R. Norman for conducting a saloon without a license. The action stems from the council’s forfeiture of Andrew Larson’s license after he pleaded guilty to selling liquor to minors. Norman, owning an interest in the license, continued operations after notice, prompting the new charge that the entire license is forfeited and the saloon is run illegally.
