1t is plainly the intention of the
saloon forces of Plymouth to play
delaying game in the Local Option
war in Marshall county Attorney
Kellison who represents the wet
forces in this count said Saturday
an appeal would be taken from the
decision of the County Commission
ers, in calling Local Option election
N this county The law gives them
thirty days, within WHICH to file bond
and take an appeal. The bond has not
yet been filed with the County Audi
tor. According to provision in the
Statutes, the case cannot be tried fn
the next term of court, which con-
venes on next Monday In reference
to appeals from decisions of COM
missioners' court the statute says: "If
such appeal shall be filed, and such
summons, when necessary, served ten
days before the first day OF the Court
next after such appeal. such cause
shall stand for trial ~at such term;
otherwise il shall be continued until
the next term of court" Court con-
venes here Monday, and according TO
the above provision, the case will not
be called for trial until the March
term of the Marshall Circuit Court,
which convenes the last Monday in
that month. 1t is even possible, if the
above tactic is successful in delaying
the option election, that the vets
may then take change of venue,
and so succeed in postponing trial in
definitely.
Drys Say Not So."
The attorneys for the option pc
titioners however, maintain that un-
less decision is given on the appeal
before the time SET for holding the
election, then the election Will go on,
as scheduled, for Thursday March A.
| In Regard to Appeals.
! In regard to taking an appeal from
the decision of a Commissioners
court the statutes say: From any
decision of such commissioners there
shall be allowed an appeal no the Cir
cult court by any person aggrieved;
but if such person shall not be a
party to the proceedings, such appeal
shall not be allowed, unless he shall
file, in the Office of the county audi
tor, his affidavit, setting forth that he
has an interest in the matter decided,
and that he is aggrieved by such de-
cision, alleging EXPLICITLY the nature
of his interest"
To this the drys reply that Mr..
Shoemaker is not a party to the case,
and cannot be made party. Further
more they maintain that if the case
is called for trial OF issues before
election. that the appeal will be
thrown out on those grounds. The
drys perceive that the intentions of
the vets are to delay action either
until the Local Option law is repealed
or indefinitely deferred The dry at
torneys will meet this phase, and are
confident that the election viii pro-
