4 The Frontier. VOLUME VXV1I1. O’NEILL, NEBRASKA, THURSDAY, MARCH 12,1908 NUMBER 38 Emmet Saloon Case Decided in Favor of Applicant. REMONSTRANCE IS VOTED DOWN Four Members of the County Board For and Three Against Issuing Saloon License. “The Emmet saloon case,” as it has been popularly designated, wasdesid ed yesterday afternoon by the grant ing of a license to the applicant, James Armstrong, by a vote of four to three of the county board. The ap 0 plication created some little interest, or rather a remonstrance against the issuance of the license filed at a late hour by local members of the W’oman’s Christian Temperance Union. The same applicant encountered a remonstrance last year on his apply ing to the board for a license, but it came from a different source this year. On Tuesday a remonstrance was filed by members of the iVNeill Womans Christian Temperance Union against the issuance of the license, the appli cation for which was scheduled to be taken up that day by the board. With a remonstrance filed, that had to be considered and disposed of be fore the application for license could be acted upon. The hearing on the remonstrance was deferred until Wednesday to ob tained the opinion of the county at torney as to its legality. The county attorney held it was a proper docu ment for the consideration of the board and while it contained no spe cilic charges of infraction of all or any part of the Slocum law it covered the matter in general terms and present ed “a strong moral argument” against the issuance of the license. Mrs. A. S. Younkin, president of the Union for Holt county, Mrs. C. L. Bright and Mrs. C. W. Woodward of David City, one of the prominent and well known Women’s Christian Tem perance Union workers of this state, y were before the board in behalf of the remonstrators, while Mr. Armstrong, the applicant, and two or three other citizens of Emmet were there in be half of the application. Mrs. Wood ward had just arrived in the city and was “pressed into service” by mem bers of the local union. She addressed the board in behalf of the remonstra tors and stated as the principal ground upon which the remonstrators rested was that it was generally conceded that no saloon was run within the law and that they thought, and could produce evidence to prove it were they granted the time, that the one at Emmet was no exception, expres sing her views in strong terms of the liquor traffic in general. Mrs. Yonn kin and Mrs. Bright also spoke on be half of the remonstrators. Those in favor of granting the ap plication took the view that as long as there was no remonstrance from the people of Emmet but instead a peti tion had come from those people the license should be granted. Casper Englehaupt, who was interested in the case only as a citizen of Emmet, addressed the board briefly in favor of granting the license. A motion was put to the chair to sustain the remonstrance and was lost. This was followed by a motion to grant the license and the roll call was taken. There were four votes for and three against. One member of the board explained his vote by saying that if the remonstrance had come NEW GOODS * All of our new spring goods are not yet in, but we have and will have new goods arriving every day The New Shirt Waists are now in; they are “just the thing,” both in style and price.
