JElZURE MADE FOR VIOLATING LAW
Conaty Attorney aires Evidence that
He Is la Earnest In the Hatter
SaJeoas.
Hundreds of persons witnessed yesterday
ifternoon the spilling of between 1400 and
BOO worth of liquor into the gutters on
Jouth Msln street. The destruction of the
Iquor, which came from the saloon con
ducted by Fred Bunting at 533 Main street,
was performed by Sheriff Cousins and Dep
uty Groneweg under an order from Judge
Wheeler of the district oourt.
The destruction of the liquor was the re
sult of County Attorney Klllpack's deter
mination to enforce his Sunday closing or
der. It was reported that the drunken
brawl on South Main street last Sunday
afternoon, resulting in the arrest of two
brothers named McNiller and Robert Stack,
was due to the faat of the participants hav
ing secured liquor at Bunting's saloon. Tha
report was Investigated by Mr. Klllpack
and he at once decided to close the saloon.
Lost February the county attorney secured
a temporary Injunction against the saloon
and yesterday morning he went before
Judga Wheeler and had the restraining or
der made permanent. After the liquor was
destroyed Deputy Knox was placed In pos
session of the saloon fixtures until the costs
of the action are paid.
The saloon is owned by the Krug Brewing
compsny and it Is understood when the
costs are pnld the company will be permit
ted to reopen It under different manage
ment Bunting, however, will not be per
mitted under tha Injunction to again enter
the saloon business within the Fifteenth
Judicial district of this state.
Bunting denies that the men engaged In
the brawl Sunday afternoon secured any
drink from his place. He says they eked
for It and were refused and that when
later they again attempted to enter tha
place he put them out.
Late yesterday afternoon County Attor
ney Klllpack began action in the district
court to permanently restrain Colonel W.
H. Beck from selling liquor In his saloon
at Lake Manawa just outside the enclosure.
It has been reported to the county attorney
that the colonel failed to heed the Sunday
closing order. The hearing on the applica
tion for the injunction has been set for

Arrests and Civil Salts Grow Ont of
Attempt to Eject Men from
Trolley Cnr.
Aa a sequel to a general mlxup between
the crew and several young men on a late
car from Lake Manawa Thursday night In
formations charging Chariea Barnett, train
dispatcher; a. O. Mortensen, conduator,
and O. H. Williams, niotorman, with as
sault and battery were filed yesterday
morning In Justice Ouron'a court by Wal
lace Benjamin, son of Attorney Fremont
Benjamin. Tha three men aecused furnished
bonds In the aum of 150 each and will have
a hearing next Tuesday morning.
The constant pushing of one of the elec
tric bells, signalling the conductor to stop,
by some person , on the car started the
fracas. Conductor Mortensen expostulated,
but the annoyance waa persisted In and
finally Mortensen ordered young Benjamin
and hla componlons, whom he believed re
sponsible for the annoyance, from the car.
Having paid their fare they declined to
leave the car, the more especially aa they
dei.-cd ringing the bell or In any other
manner misbehaving themselves.
Then the trouble began, Conductor Mor
tensen, reinforced by Train Dispatcher
Barnett and Motorman Williams, attempted
to eject the young men. A free-for-all
fight ensued, during which it Is alleged tha
motorman struck young Benjamin twice
with a heavy brass controller handle. De
spite the efforts of the company's employes
the young men retained their places on the
car.
The motor crew allege that the young
men were ell more or lees under the in
fluence of liquor and their language waa
obnoxious to a number of women passen
gers. This Is stoutly denied by Benjamin
and he has a long array of witnesses In sup
port of his assertion. On the other hand,
the motor crew state that when the proper
time comes they have all the witnesses
they want to prove that the young fellows'
behavior was such eg to warrant their ex
pulsion from the car.
On the car reaching the city limits It was
the Intention of Train Dispatcher Barnett
to have the young men turned over to the
police and he telephoned police headquar

SEARCH WARRANT IS REFUSED
Coantr Attorney Holds Action Against
Mnnnira Caterer la Not in
Good Faith.
In their attempt to enforce their demand
that none but union waiters be employed
at the resort Business Agent Raabe of the
Council Bluffs Trades and Labor assembly
and Organiser Hobbe of the International
Bartenders' union Went before Justice
Ouren yesterday afternoon and applied for
a search warrant under the Iowa mulct
law against Caterers Keymer & Son at
Lake Manawa. They alleged that liquor
was being sold at the pavilion in violation
of the mulct law.
Assistant County Attorney Hess, to whom
the application was referred, refused to
endorse the action of Messrs. Raabe and
Hobbe and advised Justice Ouren not to
Issue the warrant under the circumstances.
Mr. Hess took the ground that tha applica
tion was not made In good fnlth, but that
the applicants were attempting to resort
to a criminal action to enforce a settle
ment of a civil controversy between them
and Uie management at Lake Manawa.
Last year the Waiters' union of Omaha
attempted similar proceedings agslnst Ca
terer Balduff. but the latter took the mat
ter into the United States court and se
cured an Injunction restraining the union
from Interfering with him. It Is said thut
the present management will take similar
action if the Btrtenders' union persist In
Its present policy of aggressiveness.
later In the day Messrs. Rasbe and
Hobbe secured the services of an attorney
and on the letters showing Justice Ouren
Issued tho search warrant asked for. The
warrant was placed in the hands of Con.
stable Albertl for service today.

RURAL ROUTES IK ADAMS
Inspector Llewellyn Establishing;
What Is Known ns a Model
yateni.
HASTINGS, Neb.. July l.-IBpeclal.) Un
less Fourth Assistant Postmaster General
Brlstow adheres to a rule recently made
Adams county will soon be covered by a net
of rural free delivery mall routes. Through
tha efforts of Senator Dietrich the Poatottlca
department some time ago assigned C. E.
Llewellyn, special agent of tha rural free
delivery service,- to put In a model system
for Adams county.
Mr. Llewellyn has been here about two
weeks and will have his work completed
soon. There will be Ave routes from Hast
ings, and other postoffices In the county will
also be well cared for In the way of routes.
Except In a very few caaes under the serv
ice aa arranged by Mr. Liewellyn a man
cannot be more than half a mile away from
a route, . and there will be comparatively
few even that far. The service will, in all
respects, be of the most Improved and com
plete In the country. Only a few of these
model systems have been Inaugurated by
the department and only one In Nebraska,
which Is In Cass county. These county sys
tems are very expensive adjuncts to the
postal service and the department has been
loth to Inaugurate them except in very
thickly settled communities.
Aa one of the results of the recent in
vestigations In the Postofflee department the
rural free delivery system was transferred
from the Arst assistant postmaater general
to the fourth assistant, J. L. Brlstow. A. W
Machen. who. by tha way, was appointed
under the Cleveland administration and
who was rtcectly indicted for various
frauds upon the government, was chief of
tha rural free delivery system under the
first assistant postmaster general The
change In the Jurisdiction of the service has
been followed by a thorougn renovation of
the methods employed by that official and
It la asserted that from now on routes es
tablished must be In strict accordance with
the rules and regulations, which have also
been strengthened and made more exacting.
Mr. Brlstow has given instructions that
hereafter all routes must be from twenty to
twenty-flve miles long and Include 100
families. It will be practically Impossible
to meet such requirements In Adams county
or anywhere In the state except possibly In
the eastern and southeastern sections. It
Is hoped, however, that arrangements may
be made for the Installation of the service
In Adnms county. Mr. Llewellyn is doing
the best he can to meet Mr. Brlstow'a de
mands and will soon submit his report to
the department.
Mr. Llewellyn went to Omaha last Satur
day and returned Tuesday evening, accom
panied by Mrs. Llewellyn, who will remain
here until he flnlshes his work.
