Will Have Saloons.

The prolonged thirst which some of
the citizens of Wakonda nave been
ucable to quench, owing to injunction
proceedings to keep the town board
from issuing license, is soon to be
appeased. Judge E. G.. Smith, of
Yankton, holds that the signers to the
petition which asked for vote on the
question of license are all freeholders,
and that since the proceedings were
legal, and the majority have voted in
favor of saloons, the town board cannot
be hindered in issuing lioence. Judge
Smith not only denies writ of pro-
hibition, but also denies a stay of pro-
ceedings pending an appeal to the
supreme court. Attorney General
Geppert, for the plaintiffs, has served a
writ Of ceritorari on the town board,
which will delay license for few
more days. The whole question hinged
on whether or not the petitioners were
all legal freeholders. Some of them
owned only few feet Of land, decided
to them in order that they could be
eligible to sign petition which called
for the signature of twenty-five free
holders.

fortress. but II IL said upon authority
which Is not doubted that there are
several hundred dead and wounded.
The cause Of the mutiny is reported
to have been the death of soldier In
the battalion Of sappers and miners.
His comrades claimed that his death
was due to III treatment. They rose
and were joined by the artillerymen.
Together they outnumbered the loyal
infantry troops who supported their
officers.

at anchorage OF the city thereupon
opened with their rapidfiring guns
against the barracks, shooting over
the heads of the people gathered upon
the sea front and causing tremen-

The greatest excitement prevailed,
but the socialistic workmen and the

highly elated over the outbreak. They
threatened to take advantage OF the
situation and proclaim general strike
