SALOON FIGHT TO COURTS.
oskaIoosa Liquor Dealers May Test
Provisions Of Moon Law.

Provisions Of Moon Law.
Oskaloosa. July 6.-The outcome of
the saloon situation in Oskaloosa may
form a precedent for the rest Of the
state. When the city council and the
mayor could not agree upon which SIX
Of the fifteen saloons here should close
to comply with the Moon law in getting
the number down to one for each 1000
people, the council granted all fifteen
licenses, and the mayor let the matter
rest there.
Then the county attorney stepped
in and served intunctions against the
last six saloons named in the list of
licenses. A test case is to be made
Of these injunction proceedings to de-
termine whether it is necessary to
bring the number Of saloons arbitrar-
lily down to the number at this time,
or whether the number gradually
should be decreased by a system Of
elimination.
Another poinut at issue is whether
a majority fraction Of 1000 people is
entitled to saloon. Under the re-
cent federal census Oskaloosa lacked
less than 800 Of having 10000 people,
and many lawyers claim that the
city is therefore entitled to ten sa-
looms. The sufficiency Of the con-
sent petition is still In the courts. so
that the right of operation Of saloons
here is not entirely fixed.
The license here has been increased
from 81, 900 to s.. 400 per year.

Des Moines, July 6.-In the big batch
Of court decisions rendered yesterday
by the Iowa supreme court that body
went on record again in two cases up
holding the mulct law and it's provis-
unconstitutional long standing statutes.
This was the case of Joes VS.. Judge
Mould, certiorari from Woodbury. coun-
ty wherein it was claimed that the de-
fendt was deprived Of his inalien-
able rights because Of failure to give
his personal notice IN certiorari ac-
ton. The supreme court fatty refused
to declare all certiorari proceedings il
legal because there Is no provision for
notice to parties to a suit. In the same
case the court also refraincd from put
ting all certiorari proceedings out of
business In contempt cases, as desired
by attorneys for the said Jones'
In the case of Johannsen VS.. Judge
Hutchinson. certiorari. the booze seller
came off victorious because the court
found that instead Of trying to conduct
mulct saloon in two rooms at once he
was only engaged in moving from one
to the other when the anti-saloon
league swooped down on him and found
his stock in two rooms.
In a saloon consent petition case
from Winneshiek county the court held
that there is no reason whatever why
a man should be deprived Of the right
to withdraw his name from a consent
petition.

county, colored, convicted of murder

in the case Of Francis Hamilton, con-
victed in Decatur county Of manslaugh-
ter, but the court rather intimates it
ought to have been second degree mur-
der. In the case of DR.. ]. E. Gilmore,
OF Jones county, who was supposed to
have caused the death of q girl, new
trial was granted because the state in
troduced much improper testimony. In
