HIDDEN IN BUREAU
AT RADIANT PARLOR
OFFICERS MAKE A LUCKY RAID
THURSDAY AFTERNOON
Fred Reynolds Assume All Blame
And Is Handed Fine of $200
on Two Counts
Fred Reynolds, empjoyed in the
Brown barber shop, was fined $100
ach on two counts in county court
by Judge Tash Thursday 'afternoon,
following a raid on the Radiant
Beauty Parlor, by city and county po
lice officers early Thursday after
noon. The beauty parlor and mani
cure shop has been conducted by Mrs.
Louise Reynolds. In the original com
plaint, both Mr. and Mrs. Reynolds
-were included, but the husband as
sured the court and county attorney
that he alone was guilty and that his
wife knew nothing of the presence of
several Dint bottles of "white mule"
hidden behind a bureau drawer, and
the complaint was changed.
Chief of Police Jeffers and Deputy
"Sheriff Miskimen did the raiding on a
.search warrant. This is the second
time the place has been searched, the
first occasion being singularly unpro
ductive. It came very nearly being
another flivver yesterday afternoon,
the officers being about ready to give
up the trail, when a newspaper re
porter suggester one or two places that
might be more closely investigated.
When the officers entered the room,
Mrs. Reynolds was manicuring a cus
tomer, James H. McNew of Texas, a
guest in the hotel. Mr. McNew was
possessed of an exceedingly happy
jag, and after inquiring of Chief Jef
fers: "What door did you come in?",
proceeded to get friendly with every
body. He jested with the county at
torney and others, and continued cut
ling up to the very bar of justice,
where he put on a dance for the en
tertainment of Judge Tash. The
judge gave him one hard-boiled look,
jnd Mr. McNew became strangely
-docile.
illegal possession of intoxicating li- (
luor in a place other than their dwell-1
ing house was read, and Mr. Reynolds
promptly absolved his wife of all
blame. "I bought that liquor," he
said, "I bought it for a purpose, and-py-wif
knew nothing of it.. She did
not know where I hid it." County At
torney Basye immediately dismissed
the charge against Mrs. Reynolds, but
amended the complaint so as to place .
two counts against the husband, the
secorid one being the purchase of in
toxicating liquor. After some discus
Fioji, as to what constituted a dwell
ing house, and whether it is a crime
to purchase liquor, Mr. Reynolds en
tered a plea of guilty to both counts,
pnd was assessed fines amounting to
$200.
The defendant was unable to pay
the fine himself, and Thursday after
noon was attempting to secure a se
curity, so that he might escape incar
ceration. Judge Tash has authority,
under certain circumstances, to sus
pend fines, but he refused the plea for
this sort of leniency. "I cannot com
promise with crime," the judge - aid.
"You've broken the law, and you'll
Jiave to take your medicine."
Late - Thursday Mr. Reynolds re
signed himself to the inevitable, after
a prospective bondsman had declined
to come across, and at present is oc
cupying a cell in the county jail.
Twin girls, weighing four and one
half pounds each, were born to Mr.
r,A Mrs Charles Duvis. Eighth and
Mississippi, Sunday, February 20. One
of them died Monday night. Burial
was made at Fairview cemetery,
twelve miles northeast of Alliance.
Services were conducted by Rev. S. J.
Epler.
Chamber of Commerce
Withdraws Objections
to Hcmingford Road
C. L. Hashman, Box Butte county
commissioner, Wednesday received a
letter from E. H. Morey, chief of the
state bureau of roads, which brought
the information that Secretary George
M. Carey of the Alliance chamber of
commerce had called at the offices of
the board and formally withdrawn the
objections of the organization to the
resolutions passed by the board desig
nating as a federal aid road project a
route to Hemingford which did not go
straight west of the city, but two
miles north before it turned west.
A delegation of business men called
upon the commissioners last week, and
after suitable apologies were made to
the board for taking their objections
up directly with the state bureau, ex
planations were made on both sides
and harmony prevailed. The business
men were told by Mr. Hashman that
the resolution designating the route
was not final, and that the engineers
for the rtate and government would
change the route if, upon inspection,
another appeared more desirable.
Mr. Hashman'a position was shown
to be the correct one by Mr. Morey's
letter, which said: "When the survey
i made this spring for this road, the
department of public works will make
complete surveys and determine the
better locations."
JUST ASK PHILLIPS
If there is any doubt in your
mind as to whether Herald adver
tising will deliver the goods, put
one question to W. I Phillius. who
has had a striking illustration of
the way Herald readers watch the
columns of their favorite newspa
per and read it from kiver to kivcr,
including the advertisements.
Mr. Phillips inserted a small dis
play advertisement of a Cherry
county farm for rent. It was with
out signature, and those interested
were requested to write or call this
office.
These were the results: Fifteen
people answered within three days
after the advertisement appeared.
Mr. Phillips had ordered two inser
tions. Thirty people more respond
ed following the second insertion.
And the end is not yet. The ad
vertiser will have ample opportun
ity to rent the farm to the best
possible advantage, and the whole
thing cost him but a couple of
dollars an issue.
Take it from us, all that is nec
essary, even in hard times, to get
results is to offer something good,
at a reasonable price, and use space
enough to describe it right, and
you'll get what you go after.
Not Enough Evidence
to Sustain Charges of
Booze Law Violation
George Stafford, John Bayer and
Wayne Reddington, all well known in
Alliance, excaped from county court
Wednesday morning without a fine
the first case in months where a man
charged with a violation of liquor
laws got off scot free. The reason
for this was that there wasn't quite
sufficient evidence to convict them. A
complaint against L. L. Cook was
later dismissed, largely for the same
reason.
The chief witness for the prosecu
tion was Charles F. Johnson, who,
with his mother, conducts the R. R.
Cafe. According to the story he told
on the witness stand, he first met the
three men Monday evening in his res
taurant They left and went to the
home of Cook, and later he followed.
There the four men played cards.
Later Cook came in, and from some
mysterious source a coupf-jr of bottles
of. whisky appeared. Just where the
hootch came from was not discovered,
the supposition being that all of the
men helped pay for it, the money be
ing taken out of the card game. John
son was the only one who got intoxi
cated. Stafford, Bayer, Reddington and
Cook were all charged with giving
away intoxicating liquor. Harry E.
Gantz defended them. Johnson testi
fied, and Schafer, a waiter in
the cafe, also testified. The latter
didn't add much to the sum total of
evidence. Some men came in, he said,
but he could not identify any of the
accused as being the men; Johnson
went out about 8 o'clock and returned
at 11 soused. Mr. Gantz won a prompt
victory when he moved that the case
be dismissed on the ground of insuf
ficient evidence. He pointed out thit
Johnon was a co-conspirator, ;-nd
that his evidence was therefore worth
less; and declared that Schafer's tes
timony was not at all damaging.
Judge Tash upheld his contention, and
dismissed the cases.
L. L. Cook the fourth man against
whom a complaint was filed, did not
show up in court, but the case being
no stronger against him than against
the others, the complaint was dis
missed. Elizabeth Walters, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. Frank Walters of Heming
ford, had her tonsils removed at Dr.
Hand's office Thursday afternoon.
Harper Will Push
Campaign to Secure
Camp For Boy Scouts
W. R. Harper, who was last week
elected scoutmaster for the Alliance
troops, taking the place of J. B. Miller,
who left the city some weeks ago, has
decided to take the lead in pushing
the plans of the Scouts for a perman
ent camp. Several business men, who
are interested in the matter, requested
Mr. Harper to get behind the project,
and sometime this spring the opening
drive will be made.
At present, two camps are con
templated for the boys, one at Bel
mont and the other on Broncho lake.
It is desired to equip the Belmont
camp with a swimming hole. The Bel
mont camp will be available for longer
ramping trips, and the cabin at
Broncho lake will be convenient for use
during the entire summer. Mr. Harper,
Dr. C. E. Slagle and K. H. Hamilton
plan to leave Sunday for Belmont to
see F. L. Tollman regarding a site
for the camp. '
There are now eight vacancies in the
second scout troop, and boys from 12
vears of age up who are interested in
the opportunity to ally themselves
with a live boys' organization are
asked to take the matter up with J. J
Vance.

BUSINESS WOMEN
DECIDE TO FORM
AN ORGANIZATION
WILL BE AUXILIARY TO CHAM
BER OF COMMERCE
Membership to Be Limited to Women
in Employment, But Lunch
cons Open to All
The business women's club bids fair
to become a reality in Alliance, as
twenty-five or more women so voted
at the luncheon held yesterday noon
at the chamber of commrce. This Is
the third luncheon held in the inter
est of this project, and a committee of
five has been appointed to meet at an
early date and draft the constitution
and bylaws of the new organization.
Mrs. J. S. Rhein, who represented the
Woman's club, presided.
The constitution of the Business
Woman's club of Broken Bow, Neb.,
was read, and with some changes, will
probably be adopted by the Alliance
club. It was voted to hold the lunch
eon and meeting once a month, on
Thursday, in the chamber of com
merce rooms, and the dues for mem
bership are to be three dollars a year,
or twenty-five cents a month. This
will give the club two memberships
in the chamber of commerce. Secre
tary Carey will take charge of the
programs.
The question of whether the organ
ization should be composed of only the
business women, or should also include
the members of the Woman's club
was discussed and it was decided that
to confine membership to business
women would be the best plan. Some
reasons for this were that the Wom
an's club has already a membership
in the chamber of commerce, and are
sufficient unto themselves, and that
the majority of business girls would
probably feel more at home without
them.
As for the study and discussion of
civic problems, on which the Woman's
club are much better informed, Mrs.
Rhein stated that they would be glad,
at any time, to assist the new club.
It was also decided to permit any
woman who so desired to attend the
luncheons.
The committee appointed consists of
Mrs. Anna Chaffee, Misses Ethel Gra
ham, Marie Buechsenstein, Mable
Sward, and Edna Benedict. If any of
thee, are-jjnable toseryetheywill
appoint, a substitute.
It was decided that a formal meet
ing for passing on the constitution
and electing officers would be held at
the-chamber of commerce on March
14, at 7:30 p. m.
Carl Rob'nson of the Forest Lum
ber company was married Saturday,

McNew Had Happy Jag
and Danced for Judge;
Fined Fifty Simoleons
James H. McNew, the merriest jag
that has been in county court for
many months, secured a brand of li
quor that made him fearfully happy
Thursday afternoon, anil unfortunate
ly managed to be in the Radiant beau
ty parlor at the Alliance hotel at the
time the officers made their raid. He
kidded the officers and the county at
torney, and put on a special dance
for the entertainment of Judge Tash,
but he drew the maximum fine of $50
and costs despite his efforts to please.
Mr. McNew, who told the cops he
had some experience, conducted his
own defense, and with the utmost con
sideration and politeness. He pleaded
not euilty in a' firm voice, and be-
traved a most remarkable interest in
the testimony which was plenty strong
enough to convict him. Immediately
following the sentence, he took up the
matter of an appeal, and discovered
that if he could find a man to go on
his bond, he might secure his liberty.
This was done. Mr. McNew figures
that he has until the June G term of
district court to raise money to pay
the fine under this procedure, and was
immensely satisfied with himself for
putting it across.
Jamie made one sad error during
the afternoon. A friend had put him
to bed, but he didn't stay there. When
the officers interrupted his manicur
ing he reproached them for "spoiling
his party." He was game to the last,
and despite the chance of having his
fine remitted, refused to divulge the
cource of supply. He got gay with
the county attorney at the time of his
arrest, but as soon as he discovered
the identity of the man who was to
prosecute him, adopted an air of ex
aggerated politeness.
William Coffman, who rooms on Box
Butte avenue, reported to the police
Friday morning that his overcoat had
been stolen from a Dodge automobile
the evening before, when it was parked
near the court house. The cops were
furnished a full description of the coat
and the man who borrowed it had
better lay it away in mothballs for a
couple of years if he doesn't want to
be picked up. . ..

BOX BUTTE COUNTY
FARMERS DISCUSS
HOLDING A FAIR
SENTIMENT STRONGLY FAVOR.
ABLE TO SUCH AN EVENT
Committees Appointed to Make Pre-
liminary Arrangements Meet
Again March 9
A mass meeting of farmers, ranch
ers und stockmen was held at the
county court room in Alliance nt 2
o'clock Wednesday nftei noon, at which
a preliminary organization was formed
for the purpose of holding a county
fair in Alliance this fall. The senti
ment of the, thirty or more men who
turned out for the meeting was unani
mously in favor of the undertaking,
not only for this year, but as nn
annual event.
The men who have been actively
engaged in fostering a sentiment for
a county fair are Alex Lee, I E. Bliss
and D. E. Purington. Mr. Lee was
made presiding officer for the mass
meeting, and George W. Nation was
selected as secretary. Any of these
men arc prepared to furnish infornm
tion concerning the plan to those inter
ested. William Newman, A. R. Acheson
and J. A. Keegan were selected as n
committee to plow through the stat
utes and unearth any laws relative to
county fairs, to report at the next
meeting.
K E. Bliss. G. W. Nation and Frnrk
Rowley of Berea were chosen its a
special committee to ascertain I he
sentiment of agriculturists in regard
to holding a fair. They will make us
much of a canvass as possible, visiting
the ranchers and getting their ideus
on what should be done.
D. E. Purington, Charles Reeves and
William Mundt of Berea were the
members of a third committee, to act
as county canvassers. They will hold
meetings in varjou parts or the coun
ty, the first of which is scheduled for
March 5 at Hemingford.
The meeting voted to adjourn until
March 9, when the second meeting will
be held. At this time an organisation
will be perfected, officers elected, !;ns
discussed and arrangements made for
giving Box Butte county a fair. The
name of the organization has already
been decided upon, the Box Butte
county agricultural and live stock as
socist'on. For the first year, at least,
the 'attractions will be largely con
fined to exhibits, but after the organ
ization gets on its feet, ami secures
sate assistance, it is quite probable
that the scope of the undertaking will
be broadened.
The active organizers have met with
nothing but encouragement so far. rr.d
there is no question but that the busi
ness men of Alliance, as well as the
progressive farmers and ranchers, will
be strongly behind the fair association.
If Thy
Neighbor's
Dog Offend Thee, ,.
Look for Collar
If you have a grudge against any
particular dog in your block, it may
be possible to wreak your venireance
upon that canine, and do it legally. If
thy neighbor's dog offend thee, all that
is necessary is to look tor a conar,
inscribed with the owner's name and
a license tag thereon from the city.
If the dog to which you have taken an
aversion" does not wear a collar, you
miiv legally kill him.
This important noint was brought
out In a suit in justice court in Lincoln
this week, and the court, who was ex
ceptionally well infromed, read section
17- of the Revised statutes lor lyi.t,
which is quite plain upon the subject.
If faithful Fido doesn't wear a collar,
properly inscribed, his life may be
forfeit without any comeback on the
part of his owner. ,
Of course, there is a catch In it,
and that is that, under city ordinances,
the discharfirincr of firearms within the
city limits is prohibited. The most they
can do is to fine you for that, however,
and if you can show that th"ie was no
license tag for the dog, maybe it'll be
remitted. At any rate, there's no
great gain without some small loss.
Another thing that may happen is that
the owner might beat the tar out of
vou. but the probability of such an
eventuality can be carefully weighed
before you take down the old shotgun.
There are a number of dogs running
wild in the city, without license tags
or collars. Under the state law any
person may kill such dogs on sight.
The city clerk recently received a
supply of brass dog tags, but the man
ufacturer, in his haste to execute the
contract, failed to properly inspect his
handiwork, and the licenses read
"1912" instead of "1921."

Expect to Have Full Membership at
Forty District Governor to
Install New Club
The Lions club, a new sociai-busi-ness-civic
organization for Alliance,
will hold its first meeting in the Fern
Garden of the Alliance hotel, at noon,
Tuesday, March 1. Harry E. Nivea
of Longmont, Colo., district governor
of Colorado for Lions International,
and president of the Colorado county
fairs association, will welcome the new
club into the international association.
Twenty-five of the leading business
and professional men of Alliance hava
already become members of the new
club. A charter membership of forty
is required, but the membership com
mittee, which has been quite active
the past week, anticipate that thia
number will be reached by next Tues
day when the charter will be closed.
Membership is by invitation only,
usually composed of the younger men,
who have earned for Lions clubs the
title of "The Tribe of Pen, Purpose,
Push and Progress," and caused a
very rapid growth for Lionism.
Lions International was formed in
Chicago, June 7, 1917, the original as
sociation being composed of twenty
one various independent organizations.
Many of these, like the Business Men'a
circle of Chicago, were at that time
ten to fifteen years old. From its ear
liest inception, Lionism has kept it
self free from difficulties arising,
through political or sectarian activi
ties. Growth was retarded during th

ScottsbM Hotel Has
Changed Managers as a
Result of Cuyton Case
As one of the immediate sequels
to the disgraceful episode alleged
to hav taken place at the Lincoln
Hotel in Scott sblutf January 15th, a
change has been made in the manage
ment, which will be appreciated by
puouc sentiment ai mis piace, says
the Scottsbluff Republican.
It is announced that J. W. Wad
dell resigns as manager, and will
be transferred to the Lincoln hotel
at Franklin, and that he will be 6MC
ceeded here by Curtis Young, who
comes from Beatrice.
The change, it is apparent, was nec
essitated by the publicity which ac
companied the disclosures made by
Miss Marie Dawkins, who is now the
complaining witness in a case in the
district court, in which she charges
that while a waitress in the Lincoln
Cafe, a hotel guest, John Guyton, lured
her to his room, and held her there
against her will, assaulting her twice,,
and threatening her life, if she divulg
ed anything about it.
A Ftrong community sentiment
quickly arose and Guyton was arrested
end held in jail for two weeks before
he could get bonds in the sum of
$5,000, which he did Wednesday of
this week and was released, pending,
the trial, which is scheduled to be cal
led at 2:00 o'clock on the afternoon of
February 21st.
