Hill, espoused the cause of license and were opposed by J. K. Dickinson, J. P. and chairman of the town board, and Jas. A. Grubb, one of the trustees. Both sides were ably represented. The court decided that all the requirements of the law had been met and grant- ed the license. From Shobe, S. P. Francisco represented Fell & Turn bull, applicants, and Esq. Beck rep- resented the anti-licensers. A num- ber of witnesses were examined pro and con, in regard to Fell’s moral character. Mr. Fell failed to estab- mation of the court to grant a license.
