BUCKET SHOP TRIED
CAR CATCHES AFIRE
Poor old 327, an alleged street car, Saturday night refused to run amiably. On the way down North Fifth street, going to Fairview, a journal box which had been squeaking for oil, refused to work any longer without oil, and the oil not being forthcoming the box flared up and started burning. A nearby saloon was appealed to for help, and two buckets of some kind of a liquid quenched the fire, but not the heartrending screeching.

By the decision in the appeal case of Roy Fraunberg from the county commissioners court to the circuit court for a jicense to sell intoxicating liquor in Cambridge City, the hearing of which appeal opened In the Wayne ptrcuit court this morning, wil decide whether - Jackson township will be "wet" or "dry." The scene of the battle between the wet and dry elements in the township has been shifted from the streets of towns and villaees
county highways and farm houses ip the township to the circuit court room. For about two years this topic has fur nlshed conversation in homes and business houses throughout western Wayne county. : Quite an array of legal talent is pitted against each other and before the case is concluded it is expected that "hot shots" will be fired by both sides in the legal battle. Attorney Bolan, of Indianapolis, counsel for the Indiana Liquor league, and Attorney William H. Kelley of this city are representing the applicant. Attorney Henry U. Johnson, Wilfred Jessup and Alonzo Feemster of Cambridge City have been retained by the remonstra-
tors. Saloons in Jackson township were ousted by local option about two years ago. An application was lifed by Fraunberg for a liquor license shortly afterwards in the commissioners court. A remonstrance was drawn up and presented June 3, 1910 and as the commissioners found the remonstrance sufficient, Fraunberg's application was dismissed. An appeal was taken to the circuit court.
