pie claim is a majority of one at this
time, and one is SO very close that it is
likely to be resolved into a hopeless
minority before the question comes to
vote. On the other hand it may gain

knows what will be done with the IL

|. DR.. Cain, the member from Noble,
proposes to do away with the election
feature of ward option. He proposes
that II 81 per cent. Of the property
owners of ward petition that saloons
get out of the ward, they shall get
out. The committee on temperance
has strong notion to accept this idea,
but the Anti-Saloon league does not
favor 1t. There would be no elections,
consequently little agitation, cDrse-
quently short collections. At least
that is what DR.. Cain toll your cores
pondent was the reason it was being
opposed. It would be the strongest
temperance measure yet offered.

The Jury Gives Mrs.
Halter So, 500.

Promise - Religious Cues
tions and Complications

by the jury Wednesday forenoon for
$780, which was just half of what
she had asked for.
Attorney Blake made the closing ar
gument for the plaintiff after the
opening of court, and Judge Iarter
charged the jury. He reviewed the
case at some length, referring to tho
fact that an effort had been mado to
impeach the testimony of the deien-
dant volzer. He said that the jury
should give whatever credence they
saw fit to his testimony.
There was no reference whatever
to the complications that arose owing
to the. religious beliefs of the parties
in the charge of the judge. II was
concise, direct. impartial and was COM
mented upon by the bar favorably, It
being Judge Harter's first effort in
this line of duty.
The jury was out about an hour be-
fore reaching cerdict. The usual
motion for a new trial was made by
the counsel for the defendant.
