charge of the train, brought the body
to this place and left word for the
coroner to be notified of the affair.

The City Will Now Receive Over 5000 Month
Money.

AS announced exclusively liz the
DAILY TIMES yesterday Judge Deemer
of the Supreme Court of Iowa, yester
day granted stay of proceedings IN
the saloon petition cases until the case
can be heard in the supreme court.
1.-The legal status of the saloons at
present is as follows: The statute
provides that when the Board of Sup
ervlsors tind the statement of consent
OF the voters, usually referred to as
the petition, sufficient, that is contain
ing 80 per cent OF those who voted at
the last proceeding election, it shall be
sufficient for all purposes set aside IN
the manner provided by law. Under
| this provision when the board OF sup
ervisors on January 9th found the
statement sufficient aud entered an
order to that effect it became sufficient
authority for the saloons to operate
under until set aside. On April 2nc
Judge Macy holding court, entered an
aside the finding of the Board of Sup
ervsors, under which Judgment the
saloons were legally prohibited from
operating. Onyesterdsy Judge Deem.
er of the Supreme Court having made
AL order granting the writ of certior-
ari and in connection Herewith what
is known as stay of proceeding re-
lat.ng to said matter, it has the effect
of vacating the order of Judge Macy
and leaving the matter in exactly the
same condition rs it was before the
Judgment of the court as ordered by
Judge Macy was entered. The order
from the Supreme Court has the legal
effect for the present, and until the
case is heard in the Supreme Court, of
annulling and setting aside Judge
Macy's order. This condition will con-
tinue until the matter is submitted IN
the Supreme Court and An opinion or
deci sion rendered on the legal ques-
lions involved. The principal legal
questions involved are first; that the
District Court was without jurisdic-
ton to enter the order, the notice of
appeal not having been served in the
manner provided by law, nor upon the
parties interested in operating the
saloons and therefore any order he
made annulling the petition was void
for want of proper notice or jurisdlc-
ton; and second, it is claimed that the
parties interested in operating the
saloons failed to file what is called g
counter bond in due time, and Judge
Macy so held; but the saloon men
claimed the bond was filed in time and
there was error on part Of the Court
in 10 holding and 1t is largely upon
these two grounds that the Supreme
Court granted the order as above in

Dictated, The stay order was granted
and proper bond at once filed will
the clerk of the Supreme Court ano
me same was approved and thu
saloons legally continue business"
Thus is the will of the people of this
city endorsed by the highest authority
In the state. Great credit is due At
torneys j S Dewell and Frank Tamil
siea for the ma5terley manner in which
they have handled the case, and at last
got ruling that is in accordance with
the almost unanimous wishes of the
people of Missouri Valley. Their work
has been faithful and untiring and
their claims as to the legal aspect of
the petition have been endorsed by the
highest authority i'm the state. The ga
looms all opened this morning and are
again running strictly according to the
mulct law.
1t seems that this should settle the
much debated question in this city
until the case is finally adjudicated IN
the supreme court. The small circle
of men who have been fighting the will
of the great majority of the people of
the city should now he willing to "lay
down" and let the majority rule. The
saloon men are running absolutely un-
der the restrictions of the Mulct law,
obeying all the,,sections of that law, and
now would be a good time to stop the
bitterness and contentious raised by
the canvass for the petition. If the
antis will allow the law to now take
its course they will see chow good it is
for brethren to dwell together in unity.
Try it once and see las for our friends,
the enemy, in Logan, who have wasted
their substance and lost their sleep
over the fact of the open saloon in the
Valley, all we can say is, they will have
to grin and stand it. Let the question
drop now until the Supreme Court
passes on it, and you will see that Mo.
Valley will be the better for it. If you
don't want to go into the open saloon
keep away from 1.-THE saloon keepers
will not come out on the street and in
vite you in They believe that if every
man attends to his own business he
will have all he can attend to. The
will of the people of this city is again
triumphant.
