Another Saloon for Pulaski County-Thanks to T. R. M.

Francesville Tribune. The supreme court affirmed the decision of the Pulaski county circuit court in holding that Fred Timm, of Cass township, this county, is entitled to sell liquors, although the township has less than one thousand inhabitants which was the limit fixed by the Proctor law. When Timm applied for a license a number of the residents of the township objected because of the lack of population in the township and the board upheld the objection and refused the license. On appeal to the circuit court held that denial of licenses in townships of less than required population would be establishing prohibition in all townships of less than the required population, which was not the intent of the law, which was written by Senator Proctor, attorney for the brewers; it was passed by a brewery controlled legislature and signed by Thomas R. Marshall, the brewery controlled governor.
