Judge BcIIinger Oisposes of
About 200 of the Scott County
Saloon Injunction Cases.
ONE WRIT Is ISSUED
Little Grove Proprietor Refuses to Lis
ten to Compromise and His Place
Is Closed by Court.

About 200 of the Scott county saloon
cases were settled in the district court
in Davenport this morning, when Judge
Bollinger signed DEGREES in accordance
with the agreement between T. II.
Kemmerer and c. w. Neal and the sa-
loon interests. The decree does not
mention the Sunday closing agreement
which is not at all in conformity with
the Iowa law and therefore could not
be recognized by the court. The sa
loon men, however, have agreed pri
vately to close their places of business
from 10 o'clock Saturday night until
| Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock
One is Closed.

keeper. appeared, and refused to lister
to the advice of attorneys, and pro
tested that he would not be dubbed
into submission. He refused to agree
to the terms of the agreement, and as
a result the court issued temporar!
injunction against him, closing hi;
place of business at once.
| About 16 of the cases were not takeI
up owing to the absence of attorney
from the city. These will be heart
later and DEGREES signed.

Among the provisions of the deere
are the closing of saloons at 10 o'clock
the elimination of screens and blinds
no liquor to be sold to women or chi
dren; the elimination of the wine room
the discontinuance of the free lunch
and the payment of the mulct tax qual

urer. In addition, the defendant pay
the cost Of the suit and the complain
