People of Oakland Appear in
Probate Court.
Protest Against DIR. H. H. Keith
Having Liquor Permit.
THEY MADE IT COUNT.
Judge Pagan Refused the AppIi.
cation Today.
Druggist Says He Hasn't Given
Up.

The residents of Oakland are opposed
to drug stores, or the kind which may
be found in Topeka. The Oaklandites,
or many of them, prefer to rely on old
family remedies. such as sulphur, sarsa-
parilla roots, and other herbs and they
object to DR.. H. H Keith locating a
drug store in Oakland or at least hav-
ing a permit to sell liquor
The Oaklandites were well represented
in the probate court this morning when
the hearing was held. J. n. Graft led
the delegation and the fight on DR..
Keith's plan to help the sick of the
community. r. F. Hayden represented
DR. Keith Judge T. F Carver was the
was that DR.. Keith had rented a store
room in Oakland, had fitted it with
counters and shelves for drug store
and had installed a prescription clerk
and 5000 worth of medicines. He had
also circulated a petition, in compliance
with the law, to give him the right to
sell liquors for medicinal, mechanical
and scientific purposes. The petition
was signed by thirty-seven men, twelve
more than necessary, and thirty two
women, seven more than was necessary
Then Mr.. Graft and others started a
counter petition demonstrating against
the issuing of the permit. The counter
petition was al long as Chinese laun-
dry bill, but as the law does not pro-
vide for counter petitions 1t did not nave
the same weight in court as the petition
filed by DR. Keith.
The attorneys had quite squabble,
which took up time but seemed TO make
no difference with Judge Pagan, as to
where the burden of proof should lie.
Each attorney wished the other to be
the one to prove assertions Judge
Pagan held that the opposition must
prove that the signers to DR. Keith's
petition were not freeholders and that
the plaintiff would not be forced to
prove that the signers were freeholders-
Then the defendant would be forced to
prove that they were freeholders. Then
the court would decide.
DR. Keith testified, and it seemed that
it took him Just FIVE days to start the
drug store. He began operations Feb
ruary 6. and by February II he had the
store ready for business. Then the war
began. Dr. Keith fled his petition for
permit, and the ants fled their re-
monstrance-
The ants claimed that two Of the men
who signed did not live in Oakland and
that three did not own property It was
also commended that two of the women
who signed were not residents of oak
i land. Mr.. Graft was the main witness
for the anti-drug store crowd I e1-
planned to DIR. Keith" said Mr.. Graft.
