FACING
JUDGE ROBERTS RULES ON OLD
PETITION SUSTAINING ANTEsA-
LOON LEAGUE-coUNTY DRY.

Abba, June 12.-After this evening
Monroe county will be as dry as the
Sahara. This is the result of decis-
ion handed down yesterday afternoon
by. Judge Roberts in the district court.
The ruling ends two years hard fight
ing and means big triumph for the
Anti-Saloon league of Iowa and the
Monroe county Law and Order League.
The fight thus ended has hinged on
the petition filed after the general cleo
ton In 1904, which bore on the face Of
1t a bare IS per cent of the vote at
that election. But by the time the sa-
loon men had finished heir canvass,
256 of the voters had either died or re-
moved from the county. This, the anti
saloon men held, invalidated the pc
tition. The board of supervisors held
otherwise, however, and the saloons
were duly established.
