VOLUME XXXVIII ANAHEM SUES FOR HEAVY DAMAGES A. Fuhrberg Brings Action Against Marshal Steadman, Alleging Slander, Sues for $50,000—His Saloon License Revoked Because of Marshal’s Charges Andrew Fuhrberg on Saturday filed suit in the superior court against City Marshal Nevada F. Steadman, alleging slander, and asking $50,000 damages and costs of suit. The case grows out of the recent revocation of Fuhrberg’s retail liquor license as a result of grilling charges made against him by Steadman. Two months ago Fuhrberg was arrested on a charge of conducting a place where gambling was permitted. Fuhrberg stoutly denied the charge, alleging he was not in his saloon the day gambling was charged, and that his instructions to employes were not to permit gambling at any time. The facts are that on the day gaming was charged, three men engaged in a social game of draw at a rear table, and were informed upon by an onlooker, who is alleged to have been employed to procure evidence against the place. In order to protect the players, two of whom are business men of this city and the other a Fullerton capitalist, Gifford Pinchot Coming The meeting of the Tri-County forestation committee has been opened until a date between the 20th of July, to accommodate arrival of Gifford Pinchot, chief bureau of forestry.

The facts are that on the day gaming was charged, three men engaged in a social game of draw at a rear table, and were informed upon by an onlooker, who is alleged to have been employed to procure evidence against the place. In order to protect the players, two of whom are business men of this city and the other a Fullerton capitalist, from being summoned as witnesses, Fuhrberg voluntarily pleaded guilty to the charge against him and paid a fine of $50. At the next meeting of the trustees Steadman asked the revocation of his license, making a grilling assault upon Fuhrberg's character. Charging that he had been "run out of Los Angeles," by having his retail liquor license repeatedly revoked, he declared Fuhrberg conducted "the worst place in town," that he permitted gambling, kept his place open after hours and continually violated the retail liquor ordinance. As if these charges were not sufficient, Steadman charged Fuhrberg with murdering several young men by selling them an inferior brand of compounded whisky, that he murdered Dave Bush by selling him liquor of this character, and that he robbed Viet Bentz, brother-in-law of Steadman, and now an inmate of Patton asylum for insane, of the sum of $20. The city trustees forthwith revoked Fuhrberg's license, giving him a month or two to close out his business. At the succeeding meeting of the board Fuhrberg appeared with counsel and asked that he be permitted to continue his business, and denying Steadman's charges. Steadman again renewed his charges, and Fuhrberg's application was denied. Fuhrberg entered a general and specific denial to the charges preferred against him, saying his orders to employees were not to permit gambling, that he never kept open after hours, that his place of business was quiet and orderly and not "the worst place in town" as charged by the Marshal. He denied selling inferior liquor. Relative to the Bentz matter he said Bentz had left $20 with him on deposit, and subsequently drew $5 at two different times, as the books showed. Bentz owed him $2.10 for liquors, and had a evening from Texas, after an eight months. He was back by hosts of friends who agreed to have him again a resident city. His popularity seems to with him, for he received severe employment on his arrival of these he has yet accepted, given undivided attention to the baccert which occurred at the opening last evening, and in which he wof the star performers.

Bentz owed him $2.10 for liquors, and had a balance owing him of $7.90. Whenever Bentz applied for the money, or sent some legal representative, he would be given the amount. The two men have been enemies for years. and in the spring election Fuhrberg opposed Steadman's election for Marshal. Immediately after the revocation of his license, Fuhrberg consulted Davis, Rush & Willis of Los Angeles, and upon their advice brought suit against Steadman, alleging slander, and claiming damages in the sum of $50,000. Papers were filed on Saturday. Steadman has ten days to answer. He has employed City Attorney Melrose and O. T. Callor to defend him in court. Word from Tourists Advices received from L. E.
