Cermack Hound Over
In tho county court' Wednesday tho
complaints filed somo tlmo ago against

charging them with selling liquor with
out a license woro dismissed. Wal
ter was dismissed by reason of lnsuf-J
flclent evidence, Bowman, tho com

try, and In the caso of Cermack tho
dismissal was mado In ordor tha a now ;
but similar charge might bo filed. In
tho new complaint nine counts are:
enumerated In which ho sold liquor, I
onco to seven Individuals nnd twice to '
one person. I
Cermack has been making Wallaco,

calling for an election to vote bonds.
It would look as though the way is
now open for Lincoln county to se
curo a new court house, as we bolievo
that if a canvass of the county is mado
not much trouble will be experienced
in obtaining the necessary number of
signatures to a petition.
