LIQUOR SITUATION REVIEWED.
The Iav ami Order Leaguo oC Al
liance tools that the voters of Alliance
mid tho peoplo living In sourround
lug" territory are entitled to a rovlow of
tho saloon situation In the city since
the last election.
The voters and residents of All lane
decided lu Decembor, 1007, to mnko
an effort at tho spring election to
voto out the saloons. Meetings were
held and organizations formed and
the result was a majority of 105 votes
against saloons.
A mass meeting was called In tho
City hall soon after the election to
show tho voters that the city could
not be run without license money. Tho
saloon men stated that tho tempornnce
oleinont was afraid to face them on
this proposition. A number of the
lenders of the temperance movement
were at the mooting and proved to
tho audience Uiat the city and sohool
district could bo ran without tho mi
loon money and tholr statements at
the meeting have beon fully verified.
The next move of the saloon, men
was to refuse to rent tholr buildings
or dispose of their stock of liquors.
Four "Soft Drink" parlors were
opened and soft drinks and low grade
beors were sold. It was later proven
that stronger drinks wore Bold over
some of their bars. Tho temperance
elemeut became dissatisfied with the
situation and brought two detectives
here to locate the trouble. A numbor
of arrests were made and Uie prelim
inary hearings wore before 'County
Judge Berry.
Among other testimony detectives
stated that Carl Kaldel bought a num
ber of bottles of whiskey for them nnc
delivered it to them from Cook &
Wilson, receiving pay for same. Kal
del went on the stand and swore that
he never received any money from
the detectives and never purchased any
llriuor from Cook & Wilson or any
other person or firm for them.
Tho detectives stated thot W. H.
Cheney purchased liquors for them
from William King and F, J Betzold.
Cheney swore that ho did purchase aw
deliver whiskey to the detectives,
but that he did not purchase any
liquor from F. J. Betzold. Ho also
stated that he would give the same
testimony If he was called In coni-
inection with the William King case.
As u result of this testimony Cheney
jwas arretsed for bootlegging and
bound over to tho district court. His
I case Is to be reached at the next term
! of our district court. His bond was
signed by William IKng and F. J.
Betzold.
Tho saloon men and their associ
ates still defied the law and this re
sulted in the calling of a grand Jury
by Judge Harrington for our term of
district court that met on Jan. 19th,
1900. The petition for this grand
Jury was signed by seventy-seven of
tho very best men of Alliance.
When the salooni men and their
sympathizers learned of this petition
they were greatly excited and endea
vored to frighten tho petitioners and
other persons by telling thera that
a grand jury would cost tho county
from $8,000.00 to $10,000.00. Tho granc
Jury cost the county about $1,050.00
and resulted In a largo number of
indictments. If tho citizens of Al
liance and surrounding territory wish
the report of the grand Jury publish
ed the Law and Order League will be
pleased to publish it.
Two liquor cases were tried at tho
session of the district court, following
the session of the grand jury. They
were tho cases of druggist Anderson
of Hemlngford and Queen Snow of
Alliance. In the Anderson case one
witness swore that lie bought one
half gallon of whiskey from Anderson,
but stated in tho trial that he told
j Mr. Anderson it was for medical pur
: poses.
He wen,t to Ids room that night
after giving the testimony and evi
dently did not sleep well. The follow
ing morning ho remained in his room
until about eleven o'clock, or until
an officer went for him at the re
quest of the Couuty Attorney to
ngalni take the witness stand in con
nection with tho Anderson case. While
on the witness stand he stated that
he had mado a mistake In his testi
mony the day before and wished to
correct the statement. He then stated
i that he had purchased one-half gallon,
or whiskey from druggist Anderson of
Homingford but that ho did not tell
Anderson that It was for medical pur-
l,osos- e further stated that he pur-
v-miDCTi mo wiuttuuy ior me uoneiu or
his threshing orew. Ho also stated
that he did not sign tho druggist's
register, although a signature ap
peared on the register purported to be
his. Detective Kendall swore that he
purchased n number of bottles or
liquor from druggist Anderson and
thoro was other damaging evidence.
Tho Jury brought in a verdict of not
guilty In this case.
In tho Queen Snow enso tho regu
lar Jury panel was exhausted and the
sheriff was ordered to call In more
jurors. Ho brought two Jurymen to
tho box who woro under tho Influence
of liquor. The third man had boon n
saloon, rounder and connected with
gambling games In Alllanco. A ver
dict of not guilty was the rosult of tin
trial.
William King and Ed. Reanlon
plead guilty to the ohargo of Illegal
selling of intoxicating liquors and
transferred tholr "soft drink" parlor
to Art Wlkcr for tho evldont purposo
of evading tho law. Tho present
status of tho liquor cases not tried
tiro as follows;
Q. 0. Smith, bootlegger, under In
dictment by the grand Jury.
W. H. Cheney, bootlegger, undor 'in
dictment by tho grand Jury and bound
over to the next term of our district
court.
Tho following porsons were also In
dicted by tho grand Jury for tho Il
legal sale of Intoxicating liquors and
bound ovor to tho next tornt of our
district court, to-wlt: Cook & Wilsoiii,
Georgia I'almor and Noll Thompson.
Some of tho above named law
breakers are working to have the sa
loons reinstated In Alllanco and evi
dently expect to apply for a llconso
if tho wets win. Tho Law- and Order
Leaguo servos notice on thorn at this
time that no presoa of immoral char
acter; no person proven as an illegal
seller of Intoxicating liquors and no
person guilty of permitting gambling
on his promises shall ever receive a
saloon llconso in Alliance again. If
a council and mayor are elected that
will grunt tills kind of a person a
license there are higher courts to ap
peal to and this Leaguo proposes to
make such appeal.
The Leaguo wishes also to call the
attention of voters of Alllanco and
tho peoplo of he surrounding country
to the decision that was rendered by
tho supremo Court of tho State of
Nebraska on Feb. 20th, 1900, which
holds that all malt liquors are Intoxi
cating and thnt a license Is required
to sell low grade beors tho same ns
for whiskey, high grade beers and
brandy.
The Leaguo believes that tho peoplo
and voters of Alliance nro entitled
to this rovlow of the liquor situation
lu tho city and If any further informa
tlon is desired, the league will be
pleased to burnish It, - - . :
Fathers, do you wish to legalize In
stitutions by your votes thnt will cotv
tlnuo this state of affairs In Alllanco
Tho salon element have defied your
votes and they have defied tho lawj
have practically defied tho courts and
still continue to defy the will of the
people as expressed at the last
election. If you vote to llconso sa
loons you should be willing to furnish
them your boys and girls. You take
their license money, and they must
have the boys and girls in order to
continue the business.
How many will you furnish?
Tho Baloon men are on the run. Tho
mass meeting held in the opera house
Sunday evening showed how the peopl
of Alliance stand. And they are gettln
hopeless. Thoy see that the rolgn of
saloons and their accompanying vices
Is over with. Chancellor Davidson
showed them that the financial side
of the question is all in favor of iifl
saloons as well as the moral Bide.
Everyone admits that the moral side
Is all In favor of no-saloons, but some
men are hi It for tho money and they
have beon deluded Into thinking that
with the license money reclved fram
the saloons the town Is better off.
Chancellor Davidson showed them by
actual facts and figures that thlH is
all wrong and that as a monetary
propostlon thoro should be no saloons
jiurran tor tne unancellor. may we
have more like him. Men whp are na
afraid to tell tho ,truth.
Now, you voters of Alliance who
have been told that Alllanco was a
poor business town last year because
of having no saloons. If you will
find that they will tell you that Al
liance has been the best town for busl
iiess this last year of any town in
Western Nebraska. And one result
of tills Is that practically every travel
ing 'man who has Allance as his homo
will voto the dry ticket this year.
These "Knights of the Grip" know
what they are doing They know wha
good government means and they are
going to vote the right way.
