Last Tuesday the vote on the
liquor question in Big Stone was
a tie on the question. There
were SO votes cast, but only AZ of
them werein favor of license, and
this will make the town dry.
The people of Big Stone have
probably sensed the fact that
with several camps Of railroad
graders in their neighborhood
the saloon is likely to be very
dangerous institution. The good
people of Twin Brooks show by
their vote also that their exper-
ieEce for the past year with a
number of drunken fracases-
one of which was close to mur-
der-has set them to serious
thinking.
