Notwithstanding the result of the cleo

county will remain open. AT this election
the prohibitionists carried the county by
a small majority. Defeated at the polls,
the saloon men took the matter into the

meanwhile they kept their saloons open.
Their last stand was made on the petition
for election, they alleging that it ala not
