Ex-Saloonkeepers Not Entitled
o:
A relic of the good old "wet"
days appeared last week in a de
handed clown by the supreme
court in the case entitled S.
Courtright' vs. The City of De
troit.
The decision affirms the decision
of the lower court in holding that
the plaintiff was not entitled to
any refund from the municipality
on account of his saloon license
having been made invalid and in
operative because the S. su
preme court held a large section
of Northern Minnesota "dry',
under the old Indian treaty of
1855.
The plaintiff's case was some
what weakened by the fact that at
the time the license was issued,
the probable action of the federal
authorities was forecast, and heo
applied and paid for his license
with the full knowledge that in
allPoint
probabilities it would be invalid
before its legal expiration.
Almost a year after his saloon
was closed, Mr. Courtright and
three other former saloonkeepers,
started action in the courts looking
for a refund of the unearned por
tioo of their licenses. The matter
was decided against them in dis
trict court and they then appealed
with the result as stated.
This closed the matter definitely
nnd we can now wend our way
unmolested toward that happy
millineum where intoxicating bev
erages will be listed among the
historical wonders of tjie civilized
world.rDetroit Record.
