Attempt Being Made to Put Objectionable Places Out of Business. Evansville, Ind., Dec. 14.—The local breweries are trying to put bad saloons out of business. Following a conference between Charles Cook and Charles Hartmetz, brewers, orders have been Issued not to sell to the county line and base line saloons, which a week ago were the scenes of brawls, one ot which terminated in a riot on an interurban car. The saloons in question are located in Scott and Center townships, only a short distance on this side of the Gibson county line, and people there objected to the opening of the places.
