STATES ATTORNEY HAS
HARD time MAKING
ABERDEEN STAY DRY
James Was Blamed For the
Drinks Until Detectives
Started to Work.

Aberdeen, S. d., Feb. 15.-The fight
against the sEa'e of liquor in Aberdeen
has reached the Injunction stage with
n vengeance. First, four druggists
charged with selling liquor contrary
to the city ordinances, secured a re-
straining order from Judge Thomas
l.. Bouck, of the state circuit court,
prohibiting Municipal Judge George w.
Crane from hearing the trial of the ac-
cused men OF the ground that the in
formation was sworn out by the chief
of police of Aberdeen instead of by
the states attorney, and also on the
ground that the city of Aberdeen had
no right to prohibit the sale Of liquors.
States Attorney Fred G.. Huntington
Their proceeded to show that two could
play at the junction game by getting
out Il temporary injunction restraint
ing the defendants from selling liquor
under any circumstances. He alleged
IN his petition that the drug stores
complained of by the continuous sale
of i~ntoXicants, had become public nuis-
ances and asked that they be prohibited
from selling or giving away liquor
pending the final determination of the
action. The defendants nave 80 days
In which to answer, and meantime they
are restrained from selling liquor. The
temporary restraining order asked by
the states attorney was granted by
Judge Bouck, as was the restraining
w " SiA W VII liz
action seeking to have the municipal
judge ruled out as presiding judge in
the liquor cases. Hearings on the two
orders will probably be held at the
term OF court beginning February %.
The two actions are the culmina-
ton of efforts by the states attor-
ney for several months past to put an
end to liquor sales in Aberdeen, Alb
erdeen being a dry" town. The local
police failing to secure satisfactory
evidence against the suspected men,
a man and woman detective were i'm
ported at the instance. it is rumored,
of local dry" advocates, who paid
their expenses, it is said. The wom-
an detective swore to having purchased
LIQUOR in person at three drug stores.
Before importing the detectives the
"dry" forces were unable to secure
convictions because every drunk" who
was run in" swore he purchased his
liquor at James, a small town having
two saloons, 10 miles from Aberdeen.
