Saloons or no saloons will probably ; be the main issue at the spring elect- : ion next April. Petitions are now j in circulation asking for a referendum : vote on the question of saloons or no : saloons and there is no question but j what the necessary number of signa- : tures can be secured so it will be the : big question at the election. The • question has never been raised at an : election here before and there is a : good deal of speculation as to what : the outcome will be. • —-• 3 Gets $7,000.00 Verdict. In the case of Harry McDaniel vs. : the Burlington railroad company, • tried in district court last week, the : jury awarded McDaniel $7,000.00. In ■ this case Gerald Harington, son of : M. F., made the opening argument for : the plaintiff, and it was likewise ; Gerald’s first address to a jury in dis- z. trict court, but those who were pres- ; ent in court and heard him could hard- ; ly believe it was his maiden effort : He delivered a splendid argument, and j gave evidence, that with a little more : experience, he will be an eloquent j pleader before a jury. The nervous- j ness, that is so often apparent in : young and inexperienced lawyers and ■ in many of the older ones when they : are addressing a jury, was entirely : absent. He was perfectly at home j and had the several points made in : the case, that were advantageous to ; his client, arranged in form and used j them in his argument to drive home j the point that he was making. Gerald ■ is a bright young man and The Fron- j tier predicts a brilliant future for : him in his chosen profession. Miss Kate Grady left the latter : part of last week for Chicago, where j she will purchase her spring stock of ! millinery.
