post haste to see the county attor-

the Attorney-general. It seems
that as the village Of Kandiyohi

liquor men hold that a wholesale
house cannot be kept out, in spite
of the fact that the village is prohi-

have never mustered ten signers to
a petition, hence there has been
no vote taken and the village re-
mains dry as the township always
had been dry before. The village

vides that the question must be sub

which is still nine months off.
