CASE DECIDED
Judge Higbee of La Crosse Rules in
Favor of the State in Sa-
loon Test Case.

Madison-The attorney general was
ADVISED that Judge E, C. Higbee of La
crosse had ruled in the case of the
otate of Wisconsin against Louis
Schotten, a saloon keeper in the viii
lage of Norwalll, Monroe county. that
when municipality, which has more
lhan the ratio of saloons allowed under
the Baker law, votes dry and the fol
lowing year votes wet, the municipal
lty loses its right to have more saloons
than one to every 500 population or
fraction thereof.
The village of Norwalk. which has a
population of 502, in 1915 had three
saloons. In that year the village vot-
ed dry. This year the village voted
again to grant saloon licenses, and the
trustees issued three such licenses.
One of the licenses was issued to
Schotten, and the state made an ac-
tion to debate his license as a public
nuisance
Judge Higbee, after hearing the case
at Sparta, sent written decision to
the attorney general sustaining the
contention of the state that the village
having voted dry lost the privilege of
granting more saloon licenses than
one to 500 population or fraction
thereof
This is the first time that the courts
had passed on the particular question
raised in this case. The decision is ex-
pected to affect number Of other mu-
nicipalitiesSin the state.
