State of Nebraska vs. John Pisar was the title to a case tried in Justice Swain’s court today.  The defendant was charged with running a saloon in Blue Springs without a license.  The defendant, it appears, had been granted a license, but the court held that his notice of application has not been published the requisite length of time, and found for the plaintiff.  The defendant gave bonds for his appearance in district court.
