BUSINESS SECTION OF
MONROE HARD HIT BY
EARLY MORNING fire
Eight Buildings Destroyed Be-
fore Blaze Is Checked-Not
Known How It Started.

Monroe. s. D.. Dec. 11.-A ire which
originated in the rear of the Moore
drug store early Tuesday morning
made a destructive sweep through the
business section of the town. Eight
buildings, some of them good struc-
lures, were destroyed before the fire
was put under control.
The principal business buildings de-
stroyed We're the postoffice, Rowen-
horst restaurant, r. Bos general store,
Hanford creamery station and j.
Moore drug store. The losses at these
places included most of the stocks and
fixtures.
All of the mai sacks were removed
from the postoffice in advance of the
IRE, but the key was lost, and the post
mistress made a special trip to Parker
with the sacks containing first class
mail, in order to get a key to open
them.
So far there is no definite clue to the
origin of the fire. 1t is estimated that
about half the losses are covered by
insurance. Owners of the burned
buildings say they will rebuild as soon
as possible, probability of cement or
brick.

TEMPORARY INJUNCTION
AGAINST PORTER p, PECK

Sioux Falls. S. D.. Dec. 10.-After
arguments had been mad before him,
Judge Jones, of the state circuit court,
declined to grant a temporary injunc-
ton in the case of the state VS.. Porter
P. Peck, a prominent and wealthy citi-
zen of Sioux Falls, to restrain him
from renting rooms on the upper floors
Of a business block owned by him to
persons of alleged bad reputation.
The case was instituted by States
Attorney Caldwell under an act Of the
legislation of 1918, empowering the
courts of South Dakota to order closed
buildings or parts of buildings alleged
to be devoted to unlawful purposes.
The attorneys Of Mr.. Peck have filed
a demurrer to the complaint in the
case, and this will be argued and de-
termined at a hearing yet to be fixed
before Judge Jones. 1t is probable an
effort will be made to have the new law
declared unconstitutional.
The authorities at Rapid City also
nave commenced actions under the
provisions of the new law in the hope
of Kidding that city Of undesirable
characters and having buildings now
occupied by them closed to them.

SUFFRAGE OPPONENTS

Pierre. S. D.. Dec. 10.-Making the

synonymous terms. This is the anti
sufffaglsts resent, and in consequence
they will carry on a fight against suf-
rage, basing it as a political situation,
ana not a moral issue, claiming that
the right to vote, of itself, is not n
moral question.
MRS. r.. Jacobsen, state secretary, APP

Since 1894 the vote for equal suf-

equal suffrage advocates in the state
expect to give the antis the knock
