GOODENOW, landlord of the National hotel, on charge of violating the Raines law in having his barroom blinds closed on Sunday, March 20th, was commenced before Police Justice WOODWARD this morning, District Attorney LeSEUR appearing for the People and William E. WEBSTER for GOODENOW. The proceedings were far from peaceful, the attorneys, the defendant, William E. DAWSON, the complainant in the matter, and Orlo R. CLARK, the owner of the hotel property, all taking a hand at times. The defense asserted that the case was nothing but an exhibition of personal spite on the part of DAWSON, whose house is near the hotel. DAWSON and GOODENOW finally became engaged in a battle of words and were ordered to keep still by the Court. DAWSON testified that he first noticed that the barroom blinds were closed about 6 a.m. on the date named. Shortly after 9 a.m. they were opened. Officer John G. WHITE of the Central railroad was the only other witness called this morning. His attention was called by DAWSON to the fact that the blinds were closed. ++ ATTENTION Batavia Wheelmen. are you using Burnette's Bicycle Chafing Salve... to prevent chafing and blistering and heal all wounds.
