Judge Galloway Heard Testi
mony in Harrisburg Local
Option Contest Case.
WILL DECIDE LATER
FOR "WETS" OR "DRYS"
Case Was Completed Late Lasi
Night; Much of Evidence
Stipulated.
Harrisburg "Wet" or Dry."
The case which will decide whether
Harrisburg will be "wet" or "dry"
during the coming vear was tried in
the State Circuit Court here this
afternoon and was taken under ad
visement by Judge Galloway.
It was brought by W. B. Holman,
of Harrisburg, to enjoin the County
Court of Linn County from issuing an
order declaring prohibition as a re
sult of the election of November 4,
in which Harrisburg went "dry" by
41 majority.
Attorneys A. C. Woodcock of Eu
gene and W. JL Holman of Dallas re
presented the plaintiff, and County
Attorney Hill the county court. On
ly a few witnesses were called and
ninc-h of the evidence was stipulated.
Hurried along by Judge Galloway,
the case was completed last night af
ter going to trial yesterday after -noon.
Thecase attracted no little atten
tion from the Harrisburg people of
both sides and many were in the city
yesterday, either to testify or listen
to the proceedings. There was a pro
bability that the scores of witnesses
would have been called on to testify
if the case had lasted as first antici
pated and that it would have been
hotly contested by both sit I e s.
The faculty meanwhile took a back
seat and saw themselves in replica.
