There will be few il any saloons in
the country districts Of Jefferson
county during the present year, ac-
cording to an announcement made by
Judge James Gould this morning to
a newspaper man. His refusal %
grant dramshop licenses for SALOON
loon business at various places ove-
the county assures the residents oe
Sheriff., Tucker, New Gascony, Cor
nerstone, Reydel and English that
they will not be annoyed with dis
turbances which were SO frequent
during the past year at some of these
places and which resulted in several
killings and bad cutting scrapes.
Judge Gould stated this morning
that he would not consider applica
tons from any of the above named
places for dramshop licenses. His
action is taken because of the many
disturbances and killings in saloons
throughout the county last year. He
says he has granted two dramShop
licenses at Humphrey with the under
standing that this would be the last
year for saloons at that place. The
application for dramshop license
at Redfeld is meeting with opposition
and Judge Gould will give the two OPP
posing factions hearing today. He
makes the positive statement that at
ter this year there will be no saloons
permitted in the country districts at
all.
Holland and Lambert, the East
Third avenue saloonists, have sold
their interests in The Brookhill sa-
loon to Marsh Atkinson, of Atlanta,
Ca, and he will conduct the saloon
at that stand in the future. He came
here with the best of Recommended
itions and Judge Gould, after consid-
ering his application for several days,
finally granted him a dramshOp Ii
cense to reopen The Brookhill. The
hotel, adjoining the saloon, will be
conducted by Holland & Lambert. 1t
is stated authoritatively that Holland
& Lambert are in no wise connected
with the new proprietor OF the East
Third avenue saloon and Judge Gould
stated that he had positively refused
to reissue Holland & Lambert a dram
shop license
