SUBURBAN SALOONS ARE
HELD To BE III EGAI

Pierre, S. D., March 12.-Attorney
General Caldwell has given a ruling to
Governor Byrne. from whom had come
an inquiry as to tn. legal effect of a
license to sell intoxicating liquors at
a place within five miles of the corpo-
rate limits of an incorporated town
where there was at the last election a
vote upon the question prohibiting the
sale of liquor at retail. The attorney
general holds that a license granted
by the township board within the five
mile limit to sell liquor is absolutely
void, and that the same would be no
defense against a criminal prosecution
for selling intoxicating liquors with
out a license He say further in
relation to the matter: 1T is my opin-
ion, therefore, that the members of the
township board, if they nave in fact
granted the license contrary to the pro-
visions Of the act in question, are
guilty of a criminal offense as stated
in said acth

with this project. is scheduled TO be
held in Geddes or April 5. AS was the

Among other things, this Washing

neWed pressure for a wagon bridge
