dered an important decision in the case Of An
ton Koob, who was fined by the mayor OF Cas-

out a city license and for selling to minors.
| He appealed to the district court and demur-
red to the complaint In a former case, on the
grounds that the state law provided punish
ment for allowing a minor TO frequent sa-
looms and that the city could not impose adj
ditional punishment. The demurrer was sus-
tanned. 1t is calculated that this will cause
Dubuque saloon keepers to refuse TO pay the
city license.
