Wilkins room, recently leased to Alec McCarty, was turned down bv the county commissioners, and

refused a license 01 a technicality. It is generally understood that I Copeland was applying for McCarty, who could not et a license for himself, under any circumstances. McCarty started to paint the town red, and had loaded up with a car-load of booze, anticipating a big business this week, during street fair. The Journal cannot say whether he is selling anyway. Willi ui Reesor has just made application for a license for the same room. Commenting on the commissioners' action the Newcastle Courier says: The county commissioners have refused John E. Copeland of Knightstown, the liquor license for which he made application, basing their action upon a technicality in the application blank,

but it is generally presumed that

the applicant would have been

turned down anyway for vaiious

reasons. Although Copeland made appli

catiofi and is an old hand at the business, for some reason or other

the nam of the party, which

should have been inserted, was Jeft out. and the commissioners

are inclined to believe that a trick

was attempted. The commission

ers do not think that Copeland was applying for himself, but that

some one else was "t ie man be

hind the gun." A year ago Cope

land was granted a license and al

though the enloon 'was operated in

his name, it is alleged that he was connected with it in name only. Many tricks have been attempted by Knightstown saloon men, but they were always detected by the commissioners and nipped in the bud and from now on every liquor license application will receive the closest scrunity and if any one gets the advantage of the aommissioners in the license business, he will have to get up and dust or invent a new scheme.
