ton known to the saloon trade by purs
chasing it by the gallon A gallon house
was opened in that village last Saturday,
quarter of n mile south of the village
limits, and good trade was at once es-
tablished. The man who is acting as the
proprietor is conducting it very shrewd-
ly, so as to keep in the limits of the law.
The law says that no liquor shall be
drank on the premises of a gallon house,
and to protect himself against this, he
purchased only twenty sq,lare feet of
ground, covered it with his house, and
sells from his windows. The gallon house
is the outgrowth of the contested village
election case that was dismissed at the last
term of our circuit court.
