and several good horses were rapidly disposed of. This afternoon many more farmers were present on account of not being able to arrive for the morning session. There are not many Eastern buyers here for some cause or j another and the home buyers practically have things their own way. About two hundred horses are to be sold and the bidding is spirited. All the animals are bringing good prices, most of this bunch being raised in tnis county and well known to home buyers. There is perhaps more driving horses to be disposed of at this sale than at any other sale that has been held, and as the market for both drivers and draft stock is away up at this time of the year very good results are expected. The next sale will be held on March 30th. and the company's buyeis will start out In the morning to purchase a new lot for tlie next sale. FEE AT CAPITAL NOT YETVIXED. (United Press Service.) Indianapolis, Ind., March 16—(Special to Daily Democrat) —With the majority ot tne city councils, or boards of county commissioners throughout the state taking advantage of the high license provision under the new saloon regulation law, considerable interest has been aroused here as to the action the Indianapolis council will take. The councilmen are not greatly excited over it, however, and have abandoned the idea of holding a special meeting till* week to set a new license figure. The question will now come up at the regular meeting next Monday night. The talk of a compromise license of 1 about S4OO was strong today among the councilmen. Two members of the council, Denny and Stilts, are openly ,in favor of a SSOO fee. Two others i are believed to favor the high license, i but it is believed four members of the I council will stand for a lower license, i which may result in a compromise. * DEMOCRAT WANT ADS’
