keepers of the village of De Pue
charging them with having kept their

prosecutions for violations of the
state liquor laws that are expected to
be started against saloon proprietors
in the east end of the county. who, 1t
is said have been failing to comply
strictly with several of the statutes
despite the warning issued by the new
states attorney about the first of the
year to the effect that all laws would
be vigorously enforced during his
term of office. Altho Mr.. Skinner has
been silent about the saloon question
for some time past, 1t has been per
