A petition was circulated in Belfeld
the past week and on Wednesday there
were $50 signatures to the paper which
favored closing all of the blind pigs in
town. The paper contains the names of
only those of mature years and repre-
sents nearly every family in Belfield.
Those who are foremost in the move
ment do not intend to make any unneces-
sary trouble or cost to the proprietOrs of
the pigs and this petition is a sort of an
ultimatum. No arrests are wished for
and the places will not be closed by law
if the proprietors see fit to heed the
warnings-quit the liquor business
but on the other hand. the people who
have sighed the paper are determined
that the pigs shall be closed and kept
closed and they are united in their pur-
pose. The piggers have been given a
square deal by the citizens and the
chances are they will ave costs by clos
ing out before being compelled to by
law.
