UNION COUNTY IS m FOR CERTAIN SUPREME COURT AFFIRMS DE CISION OF CRAWFORD TECH NICALITY PASSED. Salem, July 13. In the Union county local option case In which the order of the county court declaring mat county dry as the outcome of a local option election. June, 1908, was at tacked, the Supreme court Is divid ed in a decision rendered today, Julius Roesch, the brewer, alleged the petition initiating the local op tion proceedings in Union county was insufficent; that notices of the elec tion were inadequate, and that they we.e not ported according to law.
