COUNTY DADS CURB THEM
Pass Strong Resolution and In
tend No Horseplay Shall Go.

The city council met in regular
session Monday night and recommend
ed four applicants for saloon licenses
to the county commissioners. There
were FIVE applicants for licenses and
Monday afternoon word had travelled
around the city that the big show
would be at the council chambers
during the evening and not at the
opera house, the council running
opposition to the Craven Go. Close
to forty friends Of those interested
and spectators gathered in the cham
her and also an array Of legal talent.
Things looked bad but there was
nothing doing. A motion was made
and carried that the ballot be writ
ten one and each councilman vote for
four out of the five. This was a
move rather unexpected b. all sides
to the controversy and resulted in the
abolition Of the oratory and speech
making which was just as WE'LL This
action resulted in the city recommend
ing Fem Batty, P. F. Courtney, F.
A. Tamblyn and G. A. Johnston to
the county commissioners for licenses.
Yesterday afternoon the county COM
missioners granted the necessary
papers to the above parties and fol
lowing the action Of the board the
city council met in regular session and
granted the city licenses SO now the
business has been iegalized in Grange
vile and brought out in the open
where it can be regulated and forced
to pay some revenue into the Golfers
of the government.
In Cottonwood three men have
been granted license, they being Ray
Minis, S. j. Peterson and John Funk
Harry Farris of that town was alst
an applicant but he did not file any
bond with his application. Th'
saloons at that place are now in oper
alton. There are two application
from Whitebird, Gregory 4 Wilson
and B. L. Riggs Of the Whitebire
hotel, and from Elk we find three
who are anxious to dispense booze tt
the thirsty, they being Harry Cone
Frank Steckler and G. L. L. Basket
As yet the board has taken no actiol
on these applications.
That the county commissioner
intend doing their duty by the peopl
in regard to the saloon business, wa
evidenced by action taken by tha
body yesterday at which time tn
following resolutions were drawn ur
placed on record and signed an
from personal views expressed by al
