"A petition for a vote on the
license question was flied the latter
part of last week. We nave given
the matter SO little attention that we
are not warranted in giving a guess
as to the outcome. 1t would seem,
however, that the friends of license
must believe the situation in this city
has changed somewhat in their favor
or they would not take The trouble 10
secure a petition. The vote last year
was StIOnS against license,

Roy Chase was somewhat excited
Saturday eveuing over the disannear-
ace OF his Chalmers auto. Roy ha,
been keeping his machines in the old
Whitehead blacksmith shop building
Fred Armstrong Grove in that even
Ing and put his horse and buggy III
the building. When he went TO get
his rig be found the lock pired off
and the door open and one of the
autos gone. Search was made a
once and the auto va found in the
street uear The Close residence in the
north part Of the city. Owing to the
fact thai the water had run out, the
engine became overheated and stuck
fast. The parties who took the ma
cnine evidently intended to take
proper care of the car for they had
put water III the radiator, but did not
know a plug had been removed from
the pump when it was last drained
1t is thought that local talent did the
job nd the only object was TO have IA
icy ride" Such an action may be
dangerous to repeat, however, as tue
owners of autos generally are opposed
to the use of their machines under
such circumstances.
