WOULD COMPEL CITY TO
GRANT SALOON LICENSE

Scotland. S. D.. oct. 4.-Whether or
not a city council, under the statutes
Of South Dakota, has the right to re-
ject an application for a license to con-
duct q saloon without first calling a
public hearing on the application, will
be determined by mandamus proceed
lngs which have been instituted by
Martin Cram, who seeks to compel the
city council OF Scotland to grant him a
license to conduct a saloon in Scot
land.
The city council, having granted one
license, decided that the liquor traffic
in Scotland could be best handled by
having only one saloon, and rejected the
application of Cram for q license for
Il second saloon. Cram then instituted
the mandamus proceedings before
Judge Trip, of the state circuit court,
by which he seeks to secure a court
order compelling the city council to
grant him the license desired. The city
demurred to the m~andamus proceed
ings, and arguments in the case now
have been made before Judge Trip,
who has taken the matter under advise
ment.

DRUGGIST CHARGED WITH
ILLEGAL SALES OF LIQUOR

Sioux Falls. S. d.. Oct. IA sensa-
ton was caused in Eoslyn when Sher-'
if Garrick appeared In town and
placed Earl Goodwin, a prominent
druggist, under arrest on the charge
of selling liquor in violation of the law.
Evidence to warrant the arrest was
furnished by three men, who testified
before the states attorney under oath.
When taken before a justice, the ac-
cused druggist waived his preliminary
hearing and was held for trial in the
state circuit court. .
An alleged peculiar feature Of the
law may be tested as the result of the
arrest. In towns where the voters have
declared against the sale OF liquor, it
is said a druggist can sell liquor only
under a physicians prescription, but
in towns where the question of grantl
ing licenses for saloons has not been
voted upon. as in Roaly n, it is claimed
q druggist can sell liquor on his own
Judgment if he is satisfied the appli-
cant requires it for medicinal, mechan-
or scientific purposes. 1t is fur
Their claimed that the case against
Goodwin may depend upon the need of
his customers in purchasing liquor for
any of the three purposes stated.
