Late yesterday afternoon Judge Ellis rendered his decision In the caBo of William Prentlco vs. Milton City and G. W. Ingle and Worming' ton vs. Milton City and G. W. Ingle, :n favor of defendants. This is a case which has been agl tatlng the city of Milton for several months and grew out of the Milton Commercial Club's business. In the first place Prentice was arrested for selling liquor without a license and was fined. Later Wormlngton was arrested for gambling and also fined by City Recorder Ingle. The defend ants then brought the suit Into the district court claiming that Ingle overstepped his power in imposing tho fine. Judge Ellis granted the stay of pro ceedings In the case in tho municipal court, but when ho heard the cas through, he decided in favor of Mil ton and against the defenJants. For several months Milton Jias been in the throes of a fight between the church element and those who wish ed to see the town wide open. Milton is known far and wide as a closed or dry town. About a year ago tho Milton Social Club was organized and a club house established at once. It was claimed that members of tho club could get a drink of beer or other Intoxicants in this house and that gambling was also tolerated. This was what brought on the suits against Prentice and Wormlngton., Wednesday night the reformers or the city and those opposed to such a place running, met In front of tho club house and held a song and prayer service In the storm and de nounced the establishment In the strongest terms, The result of this fight against the club house has caused considerable bad feeling among the people of Mil ton. Two tickets have been placed in the field to bo elected to fill tho city offices for the coming year, one a dry ticket and tho other wet. This election is to bo held Monday and a warm fight is expected as the forces are very evenly divided and one of tho hardest struggles for su premacy In the history of the town is expected. Each side realize tho re sult if the other aide wins, If the wet ticket wins out It will be the be ginning of a now departure In the running of the city as It Is expected that a saloon may be opened soon thereafter. ' If the dry ticket wins. It will mark another epoch In tho his tory of fighting to retain Milton's standing as a dry town. Make His Home Near Helix.
