LAUER rs ACQUITTED.

Somers Saloonkeeper Wins First Blood in
Fight Against the People of the village.
The people of Somers lost their first
fight ir the battle against the saloon.
Frank Lauer, charged with selling
liquor without license, was acquitted
in Justice Stewards court. The evil
dence showed that Lauer had attempted
to pay the license by the deposit of
500, and this money had not been re-
turned to him. It is proba BILE that the
money will be returned to Lauer at
once and some new action will be
started as soon as the agents of the
town can secure the evidence needed.
The people of the village are very
much in earnest in their fight against
Lauer and there is no doubt but that
the saloon will be fought to the bitter
end.
Lauer is the only man who has at
tempted to run a saloon in the village
in some time and the people seem to be
determined to close the place up. The
case was tried Friday afternoon before
jury and they found Justification for
Lauer in the fact that he had attempted
TO pay the license.
