SALOON FIGHT ON.
Sioux Falls People Trying to Move
Saloon Near School,


There is a law on the statute books
OF South Dakota which says that lit
shall be unlawful for any one to en-.
gage in the sale of intoxicating liquors
at retail in the same block in which
a public or private school is located
or in the block adjoining" Prior to
the granting of a license by the city
of Sioux Falls on July l. number of
business men together with the pro-
prietor of business college which is
located in the block where P Enger
conducts a saloon, filed protest with
the city council against the granting
OF license to Enger. The city coun.
Gil ignored the protest. when the par
ties aggrieved went into the state
circuit court and secured writ of
prohibition to prevent the operating
of the saloon. Judge Frank r. Aikens.
who was retained by Mr.. Enger, filed
demurrer to the writ of prohibition.
Judge Jones of the circuit court sus-
tanned the demurrer. Thus the saloon
is the winner of the first two rounds
But the fighting blood of the business
men opposed to the saloon has been
aroused and they have instructed their
attorneys to take whatever steps they
deem necessary to put this particular
saloon out of business. While only
one saloon has been attacked it is
known that the prohibition element,
while not taking a hand in the pro-
ceedings SO far instituted, are watch
ing developments and should the state
law be declared good and Enger put
out of business, the prohibitionists
will at once commence similar pro-
ceedings against eighteen of the TWEEN
ty-six saloons in the city all of whom
are within the block where the bust
ness college is located or an adjoining
block.
1t is also understood that prohibit
tionists in other towns are watching
the result of the fight in Sioux Falls.
The general attorney of the state Law

MENzIE is PUT OUT OF OFFICE.
Cattle Owners of Charles Mix Win
Over Objectionable Inspector.

The county commissioners of
Charles Mix county, by vote of two
to one, removed William H. Menzie
from the Office Of county cattle in.
spector upon the petition of 500 cattle
owners. The reasons were, for his
continued Misrepresentation of the
law, in that he would not allow the
construction of private dipping tanks,
and for the overbearing and officious
manner in which he attempted to force
the cattle owners to do just as he or
dered.
The county also dismissed the five
cases against the farmers from this
vicinity who had been arrested by
the cattle inspector for refusing to dip
in public vat, when they had already
made arrangements to dip in their own
tanks or that of their neighbors.
The fight on this proposition was
one of the warmest ever made, the
late county seat fight being no where
as compared to this.
The commissioners will appoint a
man to fill the vacancy, until the coun-
cattle owners for the purpose of elect
ing new man A large petition will
be forwarded to the state live stock
commission, asking them to have a
competent man sent to this county,
make thorough investigation as to
the condition of the stock of the coun-
ty, and if found to be as believed by
those who live here that less than 5
per cent of the cattle have the scab-
bies, then modify the general order
that all cattle shall be dipped. 1t is
understood that Gov. Elrod has also
been asked to interest himself IN the
conditions that exist here. Certain it
is that great hardship is being
worked upon the cattle owners of this
county, and the authorities should in
terest themselves to the extent of find
ing out the exact situation.
