PREVENT REMOVAL
 TO FIRST WARD. Anderson and Bowen Make Su- persedeas Bonds to Restrain Courts Action in Grant ing Removal to
 Competitors.

Inc ngnC Tn Newport tor and against license now promises a side diversion in a resort to the courts between certain saloon men as to whether Henry Bord- well and J. E. Doherty can re- turn to their old stands in the First ward.
 On Wednesday these two firms, through their attorney, Judge O.. w. Scarborough, were granted a removal of their license and a re- turn to their former habitats in the First ward, from which they had been busted by a decision of the circuit court, which found that no legal vote had been taken upon the issue of license in 1902 in that ward, and hence no saloon could be licensed to do business within it's boundaries.
 Hardly had this removal been granted by the county judge, Dr. J. M. Jones, and before the two firms could open up for business in the new locations, two competitors, Peter Anderson and L. L. Bowen, filed an appeal from this action of the court, al- leging themselves to be Tag grieved,' 7 and that the action was not taken flor vexation or delay" To restrain the contem- plated removals of the firms of J. E. Doherty and Henry Bord- well, the appellants as principals, and B. w. Stainback and s. D. Campbell as sureties, filed su- persedeas bond, holding up the county courts action and agree ing to pay all costs and damages against appellants on appeal.
 The case was taken before Judge Fulkerson at Walnut Ridge, but no action has been announced. The question to be determined is the right of the county judge to grant a removal of license, on which subject at torneys state the law is vague. The circuit court injunction against licensed saloons in the First ward, which has been vir- tually annulled in the returns and manner of holding the last election in that ward, adds a new feature to this case. It is whether the county judge can grant a re- moval of license to 9 territory that has voted for license, and yet in which the court could not grant license until the first of January by reason of it having been previously prohibition ter ritory.
