Lincoln, March 31. Nebraskans whose hopes were pitched high with the announcement that government permission had been granted brewer? to manufacture at 3.75 per cent malt are doomed to disappointment be cause of the Nebraska dry law. At torney General Spillman said Tues day evening. Both the sale and manufacture of the malt would tc contrary to the Nebraska constitu tional amendment pretaining to liquor, the attorney general said. In his statement Mr. Spillman said that Nebraska was one of the first "bone dry" states and that in addi tion to the 1 8 tli amendment. Ne braskans are bound by a state law passed May 1, 1917, before national prohibition took effect, which specifies that no beverage shall contain more than half of 1 per cent alcohol. The law also makes clear, accord ing to the attorney general, that cvm though a beverage contains that amount or less of. alcohol, if it has other qualities which will bring about intoxication it is prohibited. Mr. Spillman said he is convinced that there is no way of evaarng the law as it stands at present.

L. Becker, came driving along with a three horse, or what is called a spike team, and the horses getting a sniff of the scent from the bear, thought it was time to go, and went, with the driver pulling and sawing on the lines all to no effect, for the team went thru three wire fences brushing them away as if thy were spider webs. The horses were finally stopped after they had gotten away from the vic inity of the bear, with no damage done with the exception of the three fences.

The man that is supposed to figure as the rum runner, is known and the law is now searching for him in or der that he may be hailed forth and made to suffer the penalty of his crime. There was no other liquor found in the trip to Union and only head aches seem to have remained of the invasion of the booze dealer.

Fear Seals Lips of Convicts in Prison Probe Felons in Alabama Camps Dare Not Tell of Cruelty Which Caused Mate's Death, Is Charge. Birmingham, Ala., March 29. Sealed lips in Alabama prison camps have proven "impassable barriers" to investigations of alleged inhuman treatment of convicts, James Davis, Jefferson county solicitor, said In a statement published Sunday. He an nounced that he expected to continue the investigation into the death of James W. Knox, former Ravenswood (W.
