Difficulties.
LAW MAY NOT APPLY

Runs Into Serious Snag.
Constable Scholey first laid his
proposition before Mayor Joachim on
Monday evening and there he ran into
such a serious snag that he decided
that he would not attempt to carry
the fight to the floor of the council.
The mayor uecldTeu GldG nc h@u nav

not have anything to say regarding
the licenses of places of business
where Intoxicating liquor was not au-

After the conference Constable
scholey saw that there were rather
knotty problems to solve before any
action could be expected and he agreed
to take the matter up more thoroughly
with Prohibition Commissioner T. T.
Hazelberg at Madison before drastic
action would be requested from the
council.

that faithful, loving care could do, but
without avail.

realized this as he was loved and car

their own child. His presence and
love had been a source of great cheer
in their home made sad by the death
of their only son Burton D.
Little Max was loved by all who
knew him fact shown by the beau
