Hearing Not Set.
.e rush of business at the court
house has been so brisk that as yet no
hearing has been set, although it is
understood that the men will be given
a chance to plead as soon as County
Attorney Basye and the officers have
on opportunity to examine the prison
ers. Both the city and county jails were
filled with prisoners, and as a re.-ult
the Erskine boy, who is only about six
teen years old, and Will Ervine were
allowed to go home on promise th:tt
they would report this morning. Both
of them were on hand. Dave Christ,
overlooked a big bet when they con
centrated their forces on Omaha for
Kew Year's. Hemingford, in Box Butte
county, put on a party that, consider-
signed by H. C. Drewery and Alex
Oids, to appear Friday.
Bert Garrison, proprietor of the
tailor shop, wa3 in Denver at the time
of the raid. According to stories from
jng the size of the place, was entitled, Hemingford, he was sent a telegram
to rank with any celebration in the
.state. Complaints reached the county
officers following a similar celebration
Christmas, and preparations were
.made for a surprise party for the town
which read; "Visitors from Alliance
have arrived; come at once," This
wife is said to have been sent by
George Wilson, fifteen-year-old son of
Jim Wilson, one of the prisoners from
an the north end of the county. It was . HemimrforJ. Whether this is fact is

case of the first two places mentioned
were negligible, although it is under
stood that an overcoat at the livery
stable, containing a quart of moon
shine, was discovered. The big excite
ment came when the raid on the Gar
rison establishment took place.
When the officers entered, they
found the tailor shop filled with a
crowd of men, who were engaged in
pouring liquor from a keg into bottles,
and jugs, by the aid of a funnel, pre
paratory, so it is understood, to a visit
to a dance that was to be held east of
Hemingford that evening. The raiding
party arrived just in time.
Eight Men Were Arrested.
There were seven men in the tailor

the Spitler place, where there is a de
serted house, yesterday reported that
there were evidences that a still had

Later Hearing to Be Held After Cities
Affected Have Been Given Op
portunity to Prepare Cases.
The state railway commission issued
an order late Saturday evening author
izing the Lincoln Telephone & Tele
graph company to continue its present
rates indefinitely or until further
orders of the commission, and
for the Northwestern Bell Tele
phone company to continue to collect
a surcharge of 10 per cent until the
company shall have passed upon the
application of the latter company for
establishment of permanent rates.
The Bell company is required to set
aside into a temporary account the
full amount of the surcharges be
tween January 1, 1922, and the date
of final determination of the case, so
that full refund shall be made if
conclusions are finally adverse to the
applicant.
The commission's opinion in the
Bell case, written by Commissioner
Browne, says it would be unwise to
make at this time a downward revision
of rates to be followed shortly by an
other upward revision. So the present
surcharge of 10 per cent is to be col
lected until a final hearing.
More than a dozen communities pro
tested through chosen representatives
to the commission against a continu
ance of the surcharge. The protestants
have appointed a committee to look
after the presentation of evidence at
th eflnal hearing. That committee
will meet the railway commission mi
the Bell company's building in Omaha
January 27 to confer on a plan of pro
cedure. In the meantime the commit
tee of protestants will ask the com
pany for certain facts and figures.

One of the humorous aspects of the
raid concerns the arrest of Lloyd

tence of the proprietor, Bert Garrison,
in Denver. Chapman was not in the
building when the officers surrounded
it, but arrived and insisted on being

Little Early In the Season,
Welcomed Nevertheless Aa
An Old Friend.
Several months ahead of its scn'ed
ule, the annual rumor that the Bur
ling will complete Its long projected
line from Kearney to Bridgeport and
on west has made its appearance . Th
Bridgeport News-Blade, in a recent
issue, printed this prime old favorite, .
with the usual comments. In fact, th
Bridgeport paper makes an even better
story of it than usual, for it pieeesj
together a few bits of actual happen
ings and draws the conclusion that
the contract may actually be let.
For years and years this rumor ha
reappeared every spring and has mad
hopeful hearts in Bridgeport beat
high. The rumor this year doesn't
carry with it the promise that larg
shops will be constructed in the neigh
boring town, but perhaps these will bt
explained later.
The News-Blade says:
' "Is the Kearney extension of which,
much has heretofore been said to ac
tualljt be built within the coming
year ?
"If not, what does the hiring of a
force of men sufficient to man the
equipment necessary for the use. of

have to. no lone-er will you have to pay
the government 8 per cent of the
amount of your fare and 8 per cent
of the cost of your seat, berth or
stateroom on one of Mr. Pullman s
varnished cars.
When you ship freight you will not
be stuck for an extra 3 per cent of
the cost. Likewise, you can send pack
ages by express or parcel post with
out having to pay a "war tax.
No lontrer will you be assessed for
a stamp tax on proprietary medicines,
a tube 01 tootn paste, loiiet prepara
tions, or hair tonics for internal or
external use, when you go to the drug
stores.
When nature demands an ice cream
soda, a shot of "coke", or some other
delectable drink or dish, you won't
have to get your pennies ready. For
this war tax is no more.
If you want to doll up in a pair of
shoes that cost more than $10, or a
shirt that sets you back over $3, there
will be no luxury tax. These and all of
the other taxes on clothing, as well as
those on umbrellas, parasols, sun
shades, picture frames, trunks, va
lises, pocketbooks, etc, are now hap
pily a thing of the past.
No Saring on the Movie.
If Alliance was a city that possessed
a nickelodeon or a dime movie, there
would be no tax to be paid. Ten cents
or under, however, is the limit, and
on all admissions over that amount
the same old tax will be collected, at
the rate of one cent for each dime
of the admission charge.
Th income, tax. that annual hug-
bear, is with us yet, although there
are a few reductions, jusi enougn, w
nsiiimcr us to keen ud with it in
the hope that well get it paid by this
time next year. Ail heads of fami
lies with dependents will get a slight
reduction, the extent being $8 for each
dependent, as a result of the increase
from $200 to $400 in the exemption.
Married men whose net income in
1921 was $5,000 or less, will get i
further reduction in taxes, as the ex
emotion in this class has been in
creased from $2,000 to $2,500. Single
men must pay for their privileges as
heretofore, however, for the same old
limit of $1,000 applies.
And if you are in the lumtum, or
ing that tne commission nesires io
go thoroughly into mope maiiers. n
bays it cannot be said how long the
main case will take, as much depends
upon the promptness of both the com
pany and of respondents. The com
mission says it will not allow undue
delay for the cause to reach an early
determination. The commission re
views both the company's case and the
case made by respondents and also
the question of extravagance of opera
tion and lack of nrooer effort to econ
omize in keeping within the conditions
of the times, a question which the
respondents desired to probe, but
which they neither had the time nor
viiion tn trn into. This weakness,
the commission says, is to be remedied
under the Dresent arrangement. The
commission states mat n am present
an exhibit which showed, in brief, that
at exchanges north of the Platte, as
compared with exchanges south of the
Platte, which to it appeared reason
ably comparable, there was a very de
cided dinerence in expenses oi vr
tion. Wage levels at exchanges of this
applicant were very considerably
higher than those of the large com-
pany operating soum oi tne ruxvw,
that the ma-rtenance expenses of the
Bell company in September and Octo
ber of this year were 81.3 cents per
station per month while those of its
large contemporary within the state
were 52.3 cents.
