TEMPERANCE PEOPLE VICTORIOUS.
DECISION BY JUDGE DIXON PRACTICALLY
MAKES BURLINGTON a DRY TOWN.

Burlington June ga bomb has been thrown into
the camp OF the liquor men OF this city by n dec-
sion rendered by Judge Dixon, OF the Supreme
Court which will render the sale Of liquor In this
city Illegal.
At the April meeting OF the Excise Board the
applications OF George s. Wells. Thomas s. Wells
and Hays 8. Falkenburg to keep an inn and tavern
were considered and the licenses granted. a number
OF the temperance people, headed by Theodore f.
Ellis. jr. obtained a writ OF certiorarl and took the
case to the Supreme Court. the ground that
the Excise Board had no authority TO grant IL
cense. ordinance bylaw empowering them
to do so had never been passed.
The decision Of Judge Dixon sustains the conten-
ton OF the temperance people, and declares the
licenses null and void.
There are now twenty three liquor dealers in the
city who are conducting their business under IL
censes granted by the Board. There Is n great
deal OF uneasiness manifested TO the outcome.
as II Is expected the temperance people Will follow
up the fight until the city Is made a dry" town.
