OBJECT TO SALOON.
Citizens OF Roubaix Want Liquor
Store Closed.

A Deadwood special states that the
tcunty commissioners, at their April ses-
sion, received petition, signed by the
citizens OF southern Lawrence County,
asking that the saloon of John III. Con-
way. at Roubaix, be closed, and his IL
cense revoked
No SPECIFIC charges are made against
Conway, and the only ground for the ac-
ton is that the people object to sa-
loon in the town. When Conway applied
for his license last July a petition in re-
monstranee was signed by the citizens
against its being granted. and it was held
up for time by the commissioners The
board has now taken further time for
considering the recent objecfons.
