WILL DECIDE IN INTERIM.
Will Canvass Signatures to Consent
Petition and Withdrawal at Home
and Render Decision When
Completed.
Judge Hobson, on converting
court for the second week Monday
morning, took up at once the matter
of the appeal of the anti-saloon
board of supervisors declaring the
petition sufficient and granting, sa-
looms the right to operate in this
county for the next five years At
torney Willett, for the anti-saloon
forces, is assisted by Atty. Delmar
| of Des Moines, while Attorneys E..
| w. Cutting and e. P. Shea appear
| for the saloon forces. The time
Monday and yesterday was taken up
with preliminary matters. The bond
for the appeal was objected to, but
was declared correct and ample by
Judge Hobson. There was also OBJ
lection to County Attorney Willett
acting for the anti-saloon forces,
but decision was quoted giving
him that right, and Judge Hobson
SO ruled. Yesterday the time was
taken up with the examination of
the township clerks from the var
ious townships, who brought in the
election books and identified them.
The testimony was completed this
morning, and at once the attorneys
presented their arguments, at the
close of which, at two o'clock this
afternoon, Judge Hobson announced
that he would take the case under
adyisement, would carefully canvass
the consent petition and the with
drawal petition at his home, and
render his decision as soon as COM
| pleted, which would be some time
before the next term of court. This
completes the case so far as trial in
this county is concerned Whichev-
er way Judge Hobson decides it,,
there is possibility that it will go
to the supreme court. Court will
adjourn next Friday
| The Roman Bros. suit against the
| Milwaukee railroad for $735.00 for
killing two horses and injuring sew
en- in transit to Beach, N. d., was
