The fight made by the M. E. church
of Nescopeck, of which the Rev, U,
W. Mcllnay is pastor, for a boozeless
town, bore fruit when the Neacopeck
case was heard by the court last Tues-
day. While it was certain that a li
cense would have been refused be-
cause of the sentiment prevailing
against the granting, yet It remained
for a point of legality scored by the
# drys” to make doubly sure of vic.
fory. The temperance forces showed
that ten of the sixteen persons who
were the petitioners had not paid any
taxes for two or more years, and be
esuse of that were uot *‘ qualified elec-
tors.” That proved the “end of the
chapter” for the day, when the court
said that If the applicant, through his
attorney, could show the court where.
In the application is legal within the
be ten days it would be oousidered,
