BAY & ZWEIFEL PLUMBERS AND TINNERS. 211 DtPOt STRtEl The' results of a meeting of Baker xi .J . acmii uiuvi iwmqi a osduvw Hon held on Monday, Feb. 14, were made public today when the, liquor dealers announced, .beginning with to night 'all saloons In this city will close at 1 o'clock, and on Saturday night at the hour of midnight all bars will suspend until the following Monday morning at 5 o'clock. , It has been known for sevral weeks that a number of dealers approved of such a plan, but the announcement of Its accomplishment came as surprise today when the official no tice of the same was given by. the retail' association.
