HOLSTERS and shad are becoming in
c~reasingly scarce. The decrease Of >e
former has aroused such uneasinesis
that q conference of fishery experts
was held recently at Woods Hole,
Mass, to devise means for counteract-
ing 1t. The supply OF shad is becom-
Ing rapidly depleted because the fish
do not get adequate protection on
their way to the sea from the spawn
ing grounds. The most serious con-
dttions are in the Chesapeake basin,
where last years shad fishing yielded
the poorest result ever recorded.

JUDGE Trip HOLDS
SALOON men ARE
ENTITLED TO REFUND
Centerville Is Ordered to Pay
Back Money Advanced For
Licenses.

Centerville. S. D., Feb. 12.-Judge
Trip. of the state circuit court, has
rendered an important decision in a
case Involving the return of unused sa-
loon license honey where saloons have
been put out of business before the ex-
piration OF the period for which IL
censes a been paid.
! The case decided by Judge Trip in
volved the action of the city council Of
CenterVllle in voting to refund w sa-
!Con men the unused portion of license
money which they a paid the city.
Several years ago Centerville voted on
the saloon license question, but the
question was submitted on the 81
lar city ballot. instead of a separate
ballot, as provided by law. After the
election he case was referred to the
state supreme court, which after some
delay ruled that the election was void.
In the meantime, however, license
having carried on the face of the re-
turns. two different applicants were
granted licenses to conduct saloons.
When the supreme court held the cleo
ton void. the saloons had to go out of
business and the proprietors applied
to the city council for a refund of the
they had paid the city. The city coun-
Gil ordered that this be done, and re-
fun warrants were ordered drawn.
Before they could be delivered to the
two applicants, objection was made by
w. E. Eye, who had just completed his
term as mayor of C~enterville. and he
secured an injunction restraining the
city authorities from turning over the
refund warrants to the eXsaloon men.
Judge Trip recently heard arguments
on the dissolving of the injunction, and
now has rendered a decision, in which
he sustainS the action of the city coun-
Gil of Centerville, and dissolves the in
junction.
1t is reported that Ex-Mayor Eye will
carry the case to the state supreme
court, On appeal from the action Of
Judge Trip. At Yankton and other
places that went dry" the saloon men
were refunded their unused license

Old Saloon Building
Now Used for School

Some old advocate of peace
said the people should turn their
spears into pruning hooks, but
Winslow goes the old man one
better by turning the old Parlor
saloon into a school house. The
crowded condition of the gram
mar school building this year
made it imperative to find addi-
tional quarters for some Of the
pupils, and the only available
building was the vacant saloon,
and the school board signed up
a lease to run until the new
buildings are completed. There
will be more real benefits come
out of that old building in the
short time it will be used as a
school house, than ever accrued
to the town during all the time
it was used for the purpose for
which it was originally built. -
