PREVENT REMOVAL
TO FIRST WARD.
Anderson and Bowen Make Su
persedeas Bonds to Restrain
Court’s Action in Grant
ing Removal to
Competitors.
- m
The fight in Newport for and
against license now promises
a side diversion in a resort to
the courts between certain saloon
rpen as to whether Henry Bord
well and J. E. Doherty can re
turn to their old stands in the
First ward.
On Wednesday these two firms,
through their attorney, Judge 0.
W. Scarborough, were granted a
removal of their license and a re
turn to their former habitats in
the First ward, from which they
had been ousted by a decision of
the circuit court, which found
that no legal vote had been taken
upon the issue of license in 1902
in that ward, and hence no saloon
could be licensed to do business
within its boundaries.
Hardly had this removal been
granted by the county judge, Dr.
J. M. Jones, and before the two
firms could open up for
business in the new locations,
two competitors, Peter Anderson
and L. L. Bowen, filed an appeal
from this action of the court, al
leging themselves to be “ag
grieved,” and that the action
was not taken “for vexation or
delay.” To restrain the contem
plated removals of the firms of
J. E. Doherty and Henry Bord
well.the appellants as principals,
and B. W. Stainback and S. D.
' Ompl" ill as sureties, filed a su
/ peri as bond, holding up the
cuunt> court’s action and agree
t -;ng to pay all costs and damages
c^aAjat appellants on appeal.
The case was taken before
Judge Fulkerson at Walnut
Ridge, but no action has been
announced. The question to be
determined is the right of the
county judge to grant a removal
of license, on which subject at
torneys state the law is vague.
The circuit court injunction
against licensed saloons in the
First ward, which has been vir
tually annulled in the returns
and manner of holding the last
election in that ward, adds a new
feature to this case. It is whether
the county judge can grant a re
moval of license to a territory
- that has voted for license, and
yet in which the court could not
grant license until the first of
A January by reason of it having
' been previously prohibition ter
ritory.

Graham, oldest member of the

heart failure early this-morning,
while on his way to Tuckerman
from the farm, which is three
quarters of a mile from town.
He was in his buggy and had
come about half the distance
when his heart suddenly failed
him. For the past year Mr.
Graham, who was probably be

had been in very poor health.
He leaves a wife and two chil

family.
The deceased was a man of
high sense of honor and right in
all his business dealings, and,
with a genial temperament, he
had won the respect and love of j
all who knew him.
