UNLAWFUL METHODS CHARGED

The "wets," who on the face Of the
returns were defeated In the local OPP
ton contest at Fulton September 80,
have decided to contest the election
and have retained Messrs. Wheeler and
Hughes Of the city to fight the case.
The plaintiffs in the contest will be
John Nichols and fifteen others, and
the notice Of contest, which is in itself
a petition, was fled by the attorneys
yesterday afternoon, and is quite vol
luminous.
The local option election was held
in Fulton, KY, and the First msgis-
terial district, including the city, on
September 29 after bitter fight. The
temperance people claimed the victory
by about so votes, and there were sew
ersl arrests, following the balloting,
for fraud and false swearing.
The grounds for the contest are
that the temperance people used
fraud and intimidation and refused
to allow legal voters to vote in the
election.
The hearing of the case comes up
the fourth Monday after the filing Of
the petition, and the result will be
watched with great interest in this
section of the state. The saloon Ii
