Saloons to Contest.

Columbia, Mo-, Feb. 1.-THE
first step to contest the local option
election, which was held in Boone
County February 5, was taken
this afternoon when the Circuit
Court was asked to issue a writ of
mandamus to compel the County
Court Of Boone County to grant a
saloon license to d. G.. Barnes, OF
Sturgeon, Mo. Judge Nat NJ.
Shelton, of Macon, Mo-, who is
sitting for Judge Waller, granted
the writ and made it returnable
March &c.
Barnes presented the petition to
the County Court with tue requi-
site number of signers February Z,
and asked for a saloon license.
The court found the petition reg.
ular and the number of sig ners
sufficient. but refused the license
on the ground that a local option
election had taken place in the
county. This was before the re-
suit had been declared,
Barnes's attorneys will set up
in their argument that the notice
of the election was insu ffieient;
that the Australian ballot system
was not used in several preci nets
in the county.
