As no arrests had been made up to

had an Interview with the sheriff to
««certain the cause, ax he had signifi­
ed hts intention to arrest all who dis­
obeyed his order. We were given to
understand by Mr. Shutt that District
Attorney Phelps refused to prosecute
eases for keeping open on Sunday,
giving as his reason that there Is a
similar case before the supreme court
and until that Is
passed
upon
he
would take no action In the matter;
nor would he give his consent for the

ecute such cases, hence the sheriff
decided to make no arrests for the
