Chestnutwood, says the Johnstown “Tribune” was arrested at Bakerton Saturday by Constable Ripple on a warrant issued by Alderman Lamberd charging false pretense, the prosecutor being James J. Dawson of the Ryan-Correll Company.

The hearing took place Monday afternoon, the defendant being held for court. Before Judge Francis J. O’Connor, sitting in chambers at Johnstown last Friday afternoon, testimony was taken in the application of John Ryan for a transfer to him of the retail liquor license granted to C. A.

There appeared to be no reason to suppose he was going to cheat. Judge O’Connor held the matter over, but will render a decision in a few days.
