WANTS BROTHER TO TAKE
PLACE IH .oi. TO WAR
GREAT.TEMPERANCE
"DRY AMERICA" RALLY
America' Foremost Temperance Or
ator, John G. Woolley, to Speak
In Alliance, Friday, May 4
The Anti-Saloon Leaguo of Amer
ica, assisted by the many Btate Anti
Saloon leagues, Ib putting on a ser
ies of "Dry America" rallies, thruout
this country.
With a majority of the states hav
ing gone dry, and prospects of oth
ers Moing so soon, the work of the
Car E. Amsberry, of the Alliance
Herald force, has received a lette.
from his brother, Ouy Amsberry,
stating that he Ib planning on join
ing the army and asking him to take
his place on the Elgin (Oregon) Re
corder, at least until the brother gets
back from the army. As yet Mr.
Amsberry is undecided as to what he
will do
National Anti-Saloon League is turn
ing more to the task of putting the
nation as a whole dry. The pros
pects are good that this will be ac
complished soon.
Alliance is one of the favored cit
ies, selected as the place for one of
the big "Dry America" rallies. One
of the finest orators that this country
has ever produced, Hon. John O.
Woolley, is to be the speaker, Friday,
May 4th, at 8 p. m. The place an
nounced for the rally is in the Meth
odist church of this city, but It Is
possible that it will be necessary to
change to the opera house, in order
to secure more room for the big
crowd that will probably be In at
tendance. Mr. Woolley's subject will be "The
Finish". Not only ought every per
son in and near Alliance, who can
possibly attend, to bear this great
address, but the people of neighbor
ing towns will miss the chance of a
lifetime, if thor fall to come to Alli
ance at this time. Admission to the
lecture and rally will be free to all.

Standing Hound to District
Court Steal from Car
Tuesday morning, following a
hearing. County Judge Ira E. Tash
bound Bert Smith and William Han
Ion over to the next term of the dis
trict court for stealing merchandise
from box cars in the Burlington
yards. The bond of each was lixed
at $500, in default of which they
were committed to the county Jail
These, are the two men who last
week were arrested by Special Agent
Burke of the Burlington after they
had stolen some eighty-seven knives
from a box car. The knives are
worth from 8 r cents to $1.75 each,
it is estimated. The knives were
shipped from Sioux City, la., and
were for delivery at Bayard.
Smith Is an I. W. W. in good
Standing. H had an I. W. W. but
ton, receipts and a copy of the con
stitution and by-laws. Henlon ap
peared as his own attorney and aB
attorney for Smith. Both are intelligent-looking
men and are judged
to be smooth propositions. They were
well lressed mid do not appear to be
common "hobos". Halon raised the
l u est ion that in view of the fact that
the goods stolen were being shipped
in inter-state traffic, that the county
Judge has no Jurisdiction, it being a
federal case under the federal law
making robbery of merchandise in
lnter-state transit it crime. Judge
Tash soon persuaded the hobo attor
ney that he had jurisdiction and
proceeded to exercise it.

estate of Henry Watson, deceased,
sold 160 acres of land lying 22 miles
north east of Aliance for $2,500. The
quarter wsb bought by Charley Sulx
bach, one of the prosperous farmers
of that part of the country.
The land Is located near tho Mar

miles north of Alliance. It was au
Isolated quarter. The land In ques
tion Is described as tlu- Si ) section
of 1-24-27. It is located on the Box
Butte Sheridan county line. Of
course there Ib plenty of land in this
county that cannot be touched for
$2,500 per quarter, but taking loca
tion and other things into considera
tion, the sale was good.
