PETITIONERS
CLOSE CASE
(Continued from page 1)
show the manner in which the
government census was taken,
but counsel for remonstrants
objected, which plea was sus
tained by the court, who re
marked that he wouldn’t have
much trouble in deciding this
matter if there were not other
points causing him far more
trouble. ,
\
MANY WITNESSES TESTIFY
Thursday afternoon’s hear
ing in the license case, afforded
decidedly more interest than for
several preceding sessions of
court. Not one witness, but
many gave the proceedings
more color and diversity, that
kept interest keen and the lodge
room full of spectators, many
of whom stood for the entire af
ternoon.
Will Caloway was first exam
ined as to a list of names at
tacked by remonstrants as “non
residents” and “unknown,” his
evidence being based in some
cases on “personal knowledge”
and in others upon information.
Allie Busby lives on Dewey
Avenue now and did live with
Joe Leonard on Second street,
did not sign the petition but one
time but could not identify his
own signature.
A. T. Hall lives 1611 Dewey
Avenue and has lived here in
