IL in the other. The lunch feature
also prevailed at Fairview.
Every colored man at Fairview
voted for prohibition.
At Belleview 6 colorcd men voted
for prohibition and white men for
whisky. Four colored men did not
vote either for or against.
The books have not been inspected
but it Is estimated that about rs color
ed men in the city precincts voted
against whisky.
The total vote on the prohibition
question will be about $500.
Jolly's majority over Laffoon will
be about TOO in the county. Buchan-
an, Rep, over Randolph Tor member
of the Board of Equalization proba-
bly, 1000. Lanoon is elected by
majority that may reach 1000. 1t is
impossible 10 tell who has been elect
ed Equalizer, but as four Democrats
were OH the track, Buchanan, Rep,
has probably been elected.
WHEN TIE Saloons CLOSE.
All saloons in the city that took ont
license since April 0, 1886, will close
tomorrow. There are u of these
out of 10.
w. II. Long runs till Jan. l, when
his city and couRty license expire to
gcther; Cooper Il Co, expire Jan. 8;
Peter Postcl Feb. II; II. p. Stevens
Jan. II and Nolan u Co., Jan. Is. AS
these dealers are also operating un-
der city licenses and as the Council
stands almost unanimously for pro-
hibition they will all have to
close January LIST, when their city
licenses expire unless Wet
Board can be elected Dec. lst, that
will renew the city licenses for the
short time after Jan. l, the remaining
four have to run. AS only one Of
them would run longer than two
weeks in any event it is not likely
that the other will make single
handed fight for 40 days time. All
of the merchants liquor licenses ex-
pire at once but three. Mckee u Co.
run till Dec. IA, IL. Il. Garner till Dec.
/, G. L. Gather till March 3, 1887.
This is the construction given the
law by the county clerk. AT any rate
il is only question of a few weeks
involved and all Of the saloons in the
city will he closed by Feb. 18th.
Under the same construction of the
} law all but three of the tavern licenses
in tie county expire at once excepting
three. 4. w. Wootton, Pedee, runs

ALEGAL OPINION.
just before going 10 press we learn
!, ed that Judge Pctree, Chairman oil
the Board of Councilmen, had de-
cided that all of the saloons having
city licenses from Jan. 'S6 TO Jan. 'SI
could remain open until the end Of
the year despite the passage of Tho
new law, but every saloon in the city
I would have 10 close out Jan. l. W.
J. understand that Judge Feland, th'
t author of the law passed, is also o
n the same opinion. The saloon men
: with 4 exceptions, have been instruct
= ed to run OH until notified to close
e These four are Kahn, Hanbery, La
e nier and Raubold who took out Ii
t censes since the passage of the law
e April 8.
