4 This city has been without licensed saloons for' the past six years, and as is often the case under such circumstances there hri been more or less illegal selling of intoxicants, but it is thought that the last year has been the worst of ifiy. Mayor Miller promised before the election to do his utmost to stop this disregard of the law and has given to City Marshal Miller strong instructions along this line informing him that bootlegging must go and that he expected to stop the illegal sale of liquor in this city and that he will have the city administration back of him in his efforts. The outcome of this effort wi'l be watched with much interest, nnd it is expected that the half dozen or more parties who no doubt have been engaged in this practice, will have very rough sailing during the present year if they still persist in disobeying the law.
