MONTGOMERY
LOSES FIGHT
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS RE-
FUSE TO RENEW HIS SA-
LOON LICENSE IN TOWN OF
ELK.

E. T. Montgomery must close his
saloon in the town of Elk. An
order was entered by the county
commissioners this morning refus-
ing to grant him a renewal Of
license.
Montgomery made no appear
ance in his own behalf, but was
represented by some of his follow
ers in the Elk saloon fight. The
remonstrants were represented
and prepared to fight the case, but
the apparent back down of Mont
gomery left little for them to do.
The demonstrators now believe
that some one else will file a peti.
ton for a license for Montgomery
hotel bar in few days. They were
given to understand that such a
petition was in circulation, and
was being signed by the same peo-
pie that were ON Montgomery's pc
tition
Such petition will be opposed
with as much vigor as was Mont
gomery's application, as 1t is felt
that saloon license granted under
the circumstances would practi-
cally be the same as IL the license
were granted to Montgomery d.
rect. Montgomery's license will
expire November Is.
