All Saloons in Woodbury. County Out
side of Sioux CITY Nav Be Closed.

sue VI 0iouN SIIy way be NloSeO.
Sioux City, Nov. 15.-The prospects
are that liquor of all kinds will be q
drug on the market in the towns thru
out Woodbury. county outside of Sioux
City, as it has been discovered that
the petition which was circulated in
April, 1900, the signing of which ad-
mitted the selling of liquor in Wood
bury county outside of Sioux City,
never, was properly recorded and is
therefore invalid.
This discovery was made by H. H
Sawyer, superintendent of the Wood
bury County Anti-tSaloon League, who
now feels confident he will experience
little trouble in closing up these thirst
parlors.
1t appears that 1892 residents of
Woodbury. county, not including Sioux
City, signed the petition, being over 65
per cent of the 1920 voters in the coun-
ty. The law provides that the voters
must be recorded according to town
ships, showing in each township the
number of voters and the number OF
petitioners who signed. The records
also much show that so per cent of the
voters of each town signed the petition.
The records do not show the voters of
the townships, according to Mr. Saw
