CIVIL RIGHTS AGAIN White and Black Men Refused Li- quor- Bar-Tender in Jail. Civil rights cases are becoming quite frequent, and prove lucrative to the law- yers. Yesterday afternoon another case came to notice in which an ex-justice of the peace, T.P. Johnson (col.), was concerned. It seems that policeman John Franklin, a white man, Martin Anderson, also white, and T.P. Johnson (col.) went into Nick Kupferle's lager beer saloon to get a drink. They stepped up to the bar, and the colored man asked for drinks for the party, but was refused by Henry Beuse, the bar-tender. One of the white men then offered to pay for the liquor if it would be furnished but the bar-tender still refused. It is well known that T.P.J. spoetas a lawyer's license, and this was enough for him and the case was taken into court. Mr. Beuse was ar- rested and taken before, Squire McWhor- ter, the colored justice of the peace, where he was questioned and his lan- guage not suiting the justice, he was sent to jail three days for contempt of court. We understand efforts were being made las night to effect his release, but as to their success we are not informed. The above is but one side of the story, and Mr. Beuse's statement may alter things greatly. Since writing the above, the release of Mr. Beuse has been effected. - Metadata URL:
