      James Caffery was in battle Creek today. [The Evening Statesman, Friday, June 9, 1911, p.2, c.5]

      The red light at the Citizens telephone exchange shortly after 6:00 o’clock last evening again called the officers to the John Noban saloon to stop a fight. Deputy Sheriff’s Shafer and Harther and Policeman James Caffery were soon on the scene but things had quieted down when they arrived and no arrests were made. It was heard that Hugh Boehmer of Lee and a nemploye [sic] on the Marengo road were the principals in the mixup and others took a hand in it. Mr. Noban appeared on the scene soon after the officers arrived and both Deputy Sheriffs Shafer and Harther told him that they were getting tired of being called there every other day to stop a fight. Both officers told him to keep that class of customers out of his place and not to allow any more fithts there or there would be touble. He agreed to call the officers if another fight occurred there and make complaint against those who became involved in it. One city official said last evening that he intended to present the question of having Mr. Noban’s liquor license revoked to the council next Monday evening.
