Mr. (Mors of Omaha Brewing; Firm
Eaters a Protest Against the
Bringing of Hit Company
Into Controversy.
The published announcement of County
Attorney Klllpack'. Intention to enforce the
provisions of the mulct law caused con
tlderablo consternation among the saloon
men of tho city yesterday and was re
sponsible for them holding a special meet
lng In the afternoon, at which the sltua
tlon was discussed.
The county attorney's decision to make
the saloon men comply with the mulct law
may result In Council Bluffs becoming a
"dry town." At the meeting yesterday
afternoon the saloon men present, and a
majority of them engaged In the business
were in attendance, decided that It would
be Impossible to conduct the business at a
profit If thoy were compelled to comply
strictly with the mulct law, and that rather
than maintain a losing proposition they
would all close tholr saloons. They stated
they were satisfied with the regulations
which prevailed prior to the saloon fight.
which allowed them to keep open until
midnight on week days, but closed on Sun
days, and were prepared to abide by these
regulations, but If compelled to run their
places strictly according to the mulct law
they would be forced to close.
On a vote being taken It was decided that
all the saloon men In the cltyclose their
places Monday, and that those who have
paid their license for the month or quar
ter petition the city for Ha refund. Should
the saloon men take thla action It will re
sult In a heavy loss to the city' revenues
especially to the fund from which the ex
penaes of the fire and police departments
are paid.
Another special meeting of the saloon
men will be held this afternoon at 2:30
o'clock In the Brown building, at which
time the situation will be further discussed
In reference to a statement Imputed to
County Attorney Klllpack of Council Bluffs,
In the Council Bluffs saloon Imbroglios now
prevailing there, wherein he says: "If
thirty-one saloons at the behest of Mr.
Btorx, head of an Omaha brewing com
pany, can to all Intents and purposes obey
the mulct law, they certainly can comply
with the same law at the behest of the
state," Mr. O. Btorx of the Otori Brewing
company of Omaha said yesterday:
"I cannot understand why the Ston
Brewing company or any of Its proprietors
should be brought Into a Council Bluffs
saloon fight. We are not Interested In the
slightest degree In any of the Council
Bluffe saloons, nor In any way whatever,
nor are we running any saloons there.
Whatever of our beer la sold In Council
Bluffs Is sold through an agent, Just as
any other manufactured product Is sold In
any community. We do not want to be
brought Into any saloon fights in Council
Bluffs or elsewhere. We try to obey the
law aa good cltliens. In - all respects.
do not know what Is meant by the mulct
law. We have no hesitancy In obeying
every law ofThe state. We are simply
manufacturers and are aa anxious for the
full enforcement of all laws aa any other
manufacturers. Hence ' the attempt to
bring our names Into the Council Bluffs
saloon fights Is wholly unwarranted. We
are not In the habit of Issuing behests In
the management of city affairs or any other
kinds of affairs, and I must protest against
our name being mixed up In any way with
these matters, for we are not mixed up with
them In the slightest degree nor do we In
tend to be."

The county attorney's office Is also anx
ious that J. M. Faith and Mrs. May Welsh,
the principals In the notorious bigamous

If Mrs. Welsh's condition will permit her
