Oaylor ordered the r -Intr of Kronewitter's license because, the latter, it is alleged, failed to cornidy with the pi.:s;ons of the Sunday and holiday closing law. The mayor and Chief Kr it' t of .Mi.shawaka were restrained from rinsing the saloon by a temporary restraining order from the super'or court.

Kitch will contend that the mavr is without jurisdiction in that the Proctor law states that a city fee must be paid and that a license from the county commissioners be secured, lie will aiso contend that the county commissioners hae recognized John Kronewitter, that the latter has secured permission to transfer his saloon to other premises "Und that the m itter Is now at an end. .
