"Dry" Sentiment Waverjnu.

Newport Republican: A petition to
obtain license to establish a saloon
in Newport is being circulated by l..
e. Selby, who resides near Bassett.
If he is successful in getting a MAORI
ty of resident freeholders as signers
and in obtaining permission of the vii
lage board he will still have less than
four months before termination of the
license year. This, in conformity with
the statutes and village ordinances,
would require payment of $500 license
fee and an occupation tax fixed at
$500, leaving doubt as to the profit of
the venture if he should be refused
second license. Nevertheless, Mr..
Selby says that he desires to show
our citizens that saloon can be run
in full compliance with the law, though
the more plausible theory is that he
has had his ear to the ground and
found public opinion wavering between
bootlegging and saloons with revenue
as a factor, and concluded that it
would be well to be on hand early.

extensions from this point have again
become subject of much interest
here through the action of the North

requesting local contractors to submit
figures on grading for two proposed
extensions. The Burlington has asked
figures on an extension into the coal
field northwest of here, a move that,
while it would prove of great import.

Northwestern, on the other hand, has

this would be made one link in the

Find Verdict for Farmer.

Sioux Falls, S. d., Jan. S.-After be-
ing out only one and one.half hours,
a jury in the United States court re-
turned a verdict in favor of the defen-
dants in the case of the Iowa Dairy
Separator company of Waterloo, Ia,
against liver O. Sandlin and A. G. Rog-
dahl, residents of Brookings county,
S. ID. The suit involved the extent
of liability of the defendants on a
guaranty contract which they entered
into with the Waterloo concern, as
a result of which the Iowa company
appointed A. b. AmundSOn, then of
Toronto, S. D., it's agent and shipped
him several carloads of it's product.
AmundsOn made settlement with the
company by giving it his notes in pay
ment for the separators shipped him.
He afterwards went through bankrupt
Cy, and the company sued the Brook
ings men for the balance alleged to
be due, amounting to $5,015.65. 1t was
claimed in behalf of the two Brookings
men that their liability ceased when
AmundsOn gave the company his notes
and that they were not liable for the
payment of his notes or other debts,
and the jury appears to have taken
the same view by deciding in favor of
the Erookings men.
