LAW EFFECTIVE
VTNAL AND FATAL BLOW
. rather dubious and In fact the sus
, pense was painful. But it all took
a happy ending this morning when the
Injunction was dissolved by ord.Tr of
j the court Through the ruling pf C'r
,cult Judge Crawford, the will of the
' people at the polls will reign, and not
j that of one man or a few men.
In his decision the court recites the
Issue at stake, the contentions of the
Complainant, the arguments of the de
fense, precedents, and finally his de
cision. The document closes with the
following resume:

precinct the total registered vote was
S8, while those voting for prohibition
were , and those voting against pro

of these facts no one can successfully
claim that there was not at this elec
tion a full, free and fair expression of
the public will on the subject of the
prohibition pf the sale of Intoxicating
liquors tq Union county. This being
true, and the irregularities complained
of, being In matters directory only, It
Is the duty of the court to uphold the
election. It therefore follows that
the temporary Injunction heretofore
Issued in this cause must be vacated
and get out. One day more now and
La Orando and Union county will en
ter upon a new era a dry one. The
decision of the court rendered today
is the final and fatal blow to the ef-
forts of Julius Roesch to gain more
time in which to dispose of his stock.
The principal contention set up by the
complaint was the one that delayed
the handing down of the final decree.
In the hearing held more than a week
ago, all points at lsue but one were
disposed of. The effect of one or two
minor Irregularities In the Kamela
precinct was what took the Judge some
time to decide. In the interim, ten

Order of County Court.
The county court met this morning
and made an order declaring the re
sult of the election which, after re
citing the acta of the county court nd
the officials in connection with the
election, reads as follows:
"It Is therefore ordered. That there
were. In said election on the 1st day
of June, 1908, 1995 votes cast for, and

liquors be, and the same hereby U
prohibited. In the entire county of

poses and underthe regulations speci
fied by law, and until such time as the
