Saloon keeper's assault may result fatally
SEATTLE, May 19, 1909
John Mueller, mayor of Georgetown, who was assaulted Monday morning by E.A. Hutchings, proprietor of the Country Inn is in such a precarious condition as the result of his injuries that he may not recover.
Mayor Mueller is in bed at his home barely able to move. Last night, he was irrational at times. One of the blows be received at the base of the skull was so severe that for a time the attending physician, Dr. W. H. Corson, thought the bone had been fractured.
Mayor Mueller is advanced in years and has been in poor health for several months, having taken several trips to health resorts recently to recuperate.
Hutchings, who is held in $5,000 bonds pending the outcome of his victim's injuries, has applied to the superior court for his release on a writ of habeas corpus.

It would seem that Hutchings was not a fan of the new closing hours saloons and pool halls must now adhere. Hutchings attacked Mueller at the entrance of the General Offices at the Seattle Brewing and Malting Company as Mueller was opening for the day.
